Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Toilet Paper, 12 Mega Rolls

Photos coming soon.

The short version

Buy it if

Households that care more about strength and absorbency than plush softness
Anyone who likes a textured sheet and fewer roll changes

Skip it if

You want the softest roll you can buy
Lint left behind bothers you

What owners like

Strong and absorbent, with top marks for both in one lab style comparison
Rippled texture gives a sense of cleaning well
Holds together in use rather than shredding

Common complaints

Not as soft as Charmin Ultra Soft or Quilted Northern Ultra Plush in side by side tests
Felt thinner than rivals to one tester, who ranked it last of five
Middling result for lint left behind
Sheet counts per mega roll differ between pack sizes and listings, which makes value harder to compare

Based on Your Best Digs' toilet paper lab tests and user survey, One Good Thing by Jillee's five brand showdown, and the Amazon and Target product listings.

Research scores

Does the job 7.5 strong and absorbent in testing, though less soft than Charmin

Build quality 7.0 holds together in use, with middling lint and a thinner feel to some testers

Ease of use 7.5 mega rolls cut down on roll changes and it is septic safe

Value 6.5 sheet counts vary by pack, which makes the real cost per sheet hard to judge

What it does

A 12 pack of 2-ply Cottonelle mega rolls, sold as equal to 48 regular rolls, now labelled Ultra Comfort rather than Ultra ComfortCare.

Rippled CleaningRipples texture that Cottonelle says helps it clean
Mega rolls mean fewer roll changes than regular rolls
No added perfume and chlorine-free bleaching, per the Target listing
Made from wood cellulose; Target lists it as made in the USA with foreign parts
Sold in many pack sizes, from 6 up to 36 mega rolls

A good fit for households that want a strong, absorbent everyday roll in a big pack. The trade-off is softness: in head to head tests it ranks behind Charmin Ultra Soft and Quilted Northern Ultra Plush, and some testers found it thinner than rivals.
