Over or Under?
When it comes to toilet paper, my husband considers himself and expert. He’s rather picky about toilet paper, actually. It can’t be too expensive, it must be 2-ply, it has to be absorbent without leaving “lint” behind. Pun intended. Funny thing is, he never changes the toilet paper roll. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I cringe when I enter the bathroom and find and empty roll still on the holder, and a new roll of paper on the toilet tank. I mean seriously, how lazy do you have to be? If you are already sitting down… I digress. Moving on.
When I was asked by Mom Central to participate in a review of Cottonelle toilet paper I jumped at the chance. My plan was to have my husband write the review, considering how much he loves to debate the best brand of TP. But again, the laziness.
We received 4 rolls of Cottonelle and when the box arrived I promptly rolled under. I know. I KNOW. Most people roll over. I am in the 28% who do not roll over, but I wasn’t always an under roller. Before kids, I rolled the paper over. I have only one reason for the switch: if I roll it over, my son will use a lot of toilet paper. He’s five. He doesn’t understand the rules of TP. When I roll under, he doesn’t seem to be able to grab an excessive amount of toilet paper.
Regardless of your rolling preference, Cottonelle toilet paper will accommodate over and under rolling. This toilet paper is soft and super absorbent. It’s a strong, textured paper. It met all of my husband’s requirements.
The best thing about this Cottonelle is that it’s made by Kimberly-Clark, and we have a KC mill in my hometown. After trying this brand I think I’ll buy it more often, especially since I know it will boost the local economy. And of course, who can resist the fun of the Great Debate. Tell me: Over or Under?

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Cottonelle and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Dana, Dana, Dana….I can’t believe you are roll under kind of gal. I understand the issue with kids, but please….that is YOUR personal time and it should be the one thing that is NOT about the kids.
Interestingly enough, my wife purchased some TP yesterday. I looked at the package (it was Charmin Basic). It said “Now more durable and longer lasting.” Not really two qualities I see in TP, but hey, I don’t work in marketing in the TP industry.

Under for me, mostly because we had frisky cats. If it’s rolled under, they can’t pull it down and waste half the roll. Ironically, my husband and I have been arguing recently about TP choice. We had Cottonelle for awhile because it’s his favorite but I absolutely hate it. It is soft, sure, but I find it tends to leave lint behind. So we are still searching for a brand we agree on.

Who is the genius that invented the MegaRoll? Can’t fit it in my pre-1970 dispenser at home.
