Charmin Basic Toilet Paper, 4 Double Rolls (Pack of 10)

This is my third purchase of this item. I noticed the rolls seemed "loose" when unpacking the carton. Also this new roll does not last like the other ones did. I still had 2 rolls left of the old batch, so out of curiosity I weighed them on my USPS postal scale. The new roll is half an ounce lighter, 3.7 oz compared to 4.2 for the old ones. The carton (but not the 4-pack) says 264 sheets per roll. I don't have the previous carton.

I deducted 0.1 oz for the tube and divided 264 by 3.6, and got 73.33 sheets per ounce. Then I multiplied 73.33 by 4.1, and got 300 sheets on the old roll. Dividing 3.6 by 4.1 gives me the fact that the new roll is only 88% of the size of the old one. Of course, these figures are very approximate.

I'm VERY UPSET about paying for this product and Amazon should not allow it to be sold w/ the description they are using to sell it!

I am a regular user of Charmin Basic but no more. Buyer be warned, there is a new version of Charmin Basic with something called Duraflex. This is TOTAL ripoff. The new Basic roll has way less sheets per roll. On top of that, the new Basic sheet is sooo much thiner, it's nothing like before. Proctor and Gamble - shame on you! They should call this Charmin Econo instead of Charmin Basic. The new TP is not durable at all. Duraflex my ...
