First the forever stamp...Now the forever roll?
Charmin is out with a new, extra-long-lasting roll of toilet paper it calls the "Forever roll."
Despite the name, of course, it doesn't go on forever... But according to Charmin it lasts a pretty long time – up to a month, the company says.
To entice customers – they're offering free shipping, a money back guarantee, and a stainless steel roll holder as part of the starter kit.
The product comes in Charmin ultra soft and is available in two sizes: A multi-user roll, which is 12 inches in diameter and a single-user roll, which is eight-point-seven inches in diameter.
One roll will cost you $10.

Will you buy one?
Lol
I dont find it incredibly difficult or time consuming to change a roll.
But that’s just me :)
Mr. Whipple is gonna have to hit the gym.
'Squeezing' the Charmin will become a new workout routine.
The problem with the bigger and thicker rolls is that they don’t fit on a lot of dispensers. They jam it up.
Let's carry this to its logical conclusion, shall we?
Need a prepper ping on this.
A few of these bad boys in the storage area ... would go a long way to .... ahem relieving, the discomforts of MREs and other survival foods.
LOL - not THAT is funny!
My daughter would go through a roll in two days.
This is not a problem for the Sharia-compliant, as they use a hands-on approach to not needing so-called “forever rolls”.
My boss would give your daughter some competition. Poor lady had her gall bladder out a couple of years ago and has never been the same.

Great. Now my home can have a commercial size toilet paper dispenser just like toilets at the airport.
No telling how long this thread will last. Who are the TP police to tell you how many sheets is enough or not enough? Gives new meaning to self control. One method is take a single sheet push finger through the middle then wipe then pull paper over finger
Makes a GREAT gift for families with cats.
The cats will thank you.
So big the roll must have its own standalone holder. The metacentric height on that baby would cause it to capsize on the first pull. Today’s problem with toilet paper is not roll diameter, it’s sheet width. Because of “packaging to price,” average rolls are an inch+ more narrow than previous product, causing the average person to use significantly more than the Sheryl Crow one-sheet rule. Give me a “wide” roll over a “forever” roll.
And how long until the environmentalists scream outrage at the increased logging of trees to make this product?
Will we see Charmin boycotts?
Will the tree-huggers quit using toilet paper all together in protest?
I was thinking along (somewhat) similar lines. These would be much easier to store than the smaller rolls. I wonder what the cost per sheet works out to be vs the small rolls.
If the cost is there, maybe some ingenious prepper will build a device to roll small rolls onto previously used cardboard tubes off the big rolls...
You could also get one of those seat cover dispensers to mount on the wall made of stainless steel.
