Smooth tear is Tearrible
Smooth tear is anything but smooth. Rips and shreds in anywhere it wants to.
Back to Northern brand. Charmin is a Waste of money.
User's recommendation: Don’t buy until they get it as advertised

Verified Reviewer |I have had problems with my toilet backing up with Charmin Ultra toilet tissue. I had to call a Plumber. Now I have a leak in the water main box. It is filled with water
- Charmin Ultra Toilet Tissue caused plumbing issues.
- Used Charmin for years with no prior problems.
- December 2025 plumber cleared the line.
Review the complaints about their toilet tissue and revise their product accordingly. I have used Charmin for a number of years and prior to this, I didn't have problems.
Again, it is Charmin Ultra Toilet Tissue that caused plumbing problems. I had to call a plumber in December 2025 who had a big job clearing the line.
User's recommendation: Be aware that Charmin Ultra can cause plumbing problems

Verified Reviewer |This is a poor product, always has been.
The first problem with Charmin is it's price. It's consistently the most expensive toilet paper in the store.
I only buy store brand toilet paper products since the prices are much lower and the quality is good.
The second problem is that Charmin will clog your plumbing especially if you have a septic system. It doesn't break down.

Verified Reviewer |Roll-plys treated with agricultural byproducts used as glue
Animal resin is used to ply together their paper. It is a severe skin irritant and leaves a fermented urine odor.
- Big brand market share opportunity to do better for many
- Toxic animal gelatin byproducts used for glue
Preferred solution: non-gelatin glued ply-paper
User's recommendation: Petition to halt the use of animal byproducts in their adhesive as it is contaminated & ferments as it sits in storage
The width of your toilet tissue
The price of your Charmin keeps going up, and the width of your tissue keeps shrinking. When I go to wipe myself, I'm getting stuff on my finger because the width is so narrow now.
- Width is now too narrow
Preferred solution: Return the width so I'm not getting stuff on my finger when I wipe myself
Mad untruthful ad. I did not get my tefund
I submitted proper paperwork. I've been hung up and confused.
I asked for at least some coupons. I was told to resubmit. If I sent the receipt and package, how do I resend what was purchased at March Airforce Base? Sad rip-off for a blind veteran's wife.
Buy another brand. If there is no quality control, you won't get your money back.
- If you like low standards and aggregation buy
- Buy something else
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Run don't walk. Get angel soft.
Don't like their new tear system, too many uneven and rough tears.
I have used Charmin for many years and have never had any issues with their product. I'm not very happy about the new sheet tear system. I would suggest they go back to their old tears.
Not as advertised
The new easy tear is anything but easy. Usually rips instead of tearing.
Waste of money imo. Buy another brand of TP.
User's recommendation: Buy another brand of toilet paper

Verified Reviewer |The commercials are becoming unhinged
- Charmin bear ads were amusing years ago, but now cross a line.
- The ad implies affordability issues and blames the child; reviewer wants it removed.
Charmin commercials using bears were amusing years ago, but they are beginning to cross a line. Mama Bear is *** as *** Her son is fearful as he comes home from school because his mother inspects his *** and judges his failure?
Really? His school cannot afford Charmin; it's not his fault.
He's developed an expensive psychological quirk, and I'm supposed to chuckle? Get rid of it.
- Commercials
Preferred solution: The *** commercial gone forever
User's recommendation: Your mother commenting on your *** is not okay.

Verified ReviewerMega tissue is not Mega it’s regular size tissue.
- At CVS on Butler Road, tissue labeled mega was not actually mega.
- The item is a regular size, not mega, according to the cashier.
I went into CVS in Greenville on Butler Road on Sunday this past Sunday, and I was looking for some things. I said, well, let me grab a thing of mega tissue.
I've been buying it ever since they went mega; a very good deal. I picked up this. I looked at another one, same thing, so I went to the cashier and I said, this ain't mega. She said, no, that's a regular size tissue.
I said, but why is it saying mega with mega? So be on the lookout; do not buy Sherman if it's not mega.
They need to fix that or they're scamming people. Watch them make it mega and raise the price on it, scamming.

Verified ReviewerDisappointed with new Charmin
- There is a new Charmin Ultra Strong Mega rolls formulation.
- Rolls cost the same but are smaller, and I won't buy Charmin anymore.
The new formulation of Charmin ultra strong mega rolls is a joke. The rolls are the same price but tiny in comparison to the older product and the paper is so rough I can't use anymore. I won't be buying Charmin anymore.
- Former quality and size of charmin rolls was worth it
- Tiny rolls that are just expensive as the former mega rolls and the paper now is so rough it is uncomfortable to use
Preferred solution: Charmin should return to its former quality or they'll definitely lose a lot of customers.

Verified ReviewerShreds more than straight perforations
Wave design is worthless. It shreds and leaves TP dust.
Whoever designed this didn't account for reaching back to the TP holder.
Return to straight perforation. Grrr!
- Soft
- Wave perforation is lousy
Preferred solution: Go back to straight perforations!
User's recommendation: Forget the wave! Buy a brand with straight perforations
