Scott ComfortPlus Toilet Paper, 12 Double Rolls, 231 Sheets per Roll, Septic-Safe, 1-Ply Toilet Tissue

Why I switched to ComfortPlus — and kept it

I stumbled onto Scott’s ComfortPlus while trying to solve two competing problems at home: I wanted a toilet paper that felt soft enough for daily comfort but wouldn’t stir up plumbing headaches in a house with older pipes. After several months of regular use, including a couple of bulk restocks, I’m convinced this strikes a rare balance between comfort, strength, and septic safety without drifting into boutique pricing.

What you get in the pack

The bundle I tested is the 12 double-roll pack (roughly equal to 24 regular rolls). Each roll has 231 sheets, for a total of 291.6 square feet in the pack. It’s a 1‑ply tissue, bright white, and fits standard holders without protruding or scraping against side brackets—handy if your bathroom has compact fixtures.

A quick note on the “double roll” labeling: in real-world terms, these rolls feel smaller than some of the oversized “mega” options out there. If you’re used to jumbo rolls that need a pivoting arm to clear the wall, ComfortPlus will look modest by comparison. That’s not necessarily a downside, but it does affect how often you’ll be swapping rolls.

Feel and texture

This is one of the better-feeling 1‑ply papers I’ve used. It’s not pillowy the way ultra‑plush 2‑ply papers are, but it avoids that scratchy, utilitarian feel you get from many value brands. The sheet has a faintly textured surface that adds grip, which I found helpful for cleaning without over-layering.

On softness alone, it sits in the middle lane: more comfortable than basic budget options, less cloud-like than premium “ultra soft” lines. If you have very sensitive skin and prefer a cushier feel, you may still lean toward a premium 2‑ply. For most everyday use, ComfortPlus lands comfortably in the “soft enough” zone while staying reliably intact.

Strength without over-layering

Strength is where ComfortPlus pulls ahead of typical 1‑ply. The sheet holds up better than I expected. I found I used fewer layers to feel confident—two to three sheets folded was usually enough—which keeps consumption in check and narrows the gap with thicker papers that tempt overuse.

Tear consistency from the perforations is solid, and I didn’t notice the annoying paper dust or flaking you sometimes get when you rip quickly. In daily use, the tissue resists shredding and doesn’t leave lint behind. That’s a quiet but important win, especially if you’ve had issues with residue from softer, less structured papers.

Plumbing performance and dissolvability

This is the main reason I tried ComfortPlus, and it’s where I think the product justifies its existence. Scott claims it’s designed to dissolve significantly faster than ultra soft-and-strong national brands, and in practice, that aligns with what I’ve seen.

A simple jar test at home (water + a few swirls with a spoon) broke the sheet down quickly—far faster than the plush 2‑ply I compared it against. In our actual plumbing, I’ve had zero slow drains or clogs with ComfortPlus, even during heavier-use weekends with guests. If you’re on a septic system or in a home with older, tighter bends in the line, this faster break‑up behavior is not trivial; it’s the difference between peace of mind and expensive service calls.

Of course, any paper can clog pipes if you use massive amounts, but ComfortPlus gives you a bigger margin for error than many premium soft lines. I’d still pair it with sane usage and avoid flushing wipes if plumbing is a concern.

Roll size and real-world value

The pack is positioned as 12 double rolls, and the sheet count—231 per roll—bears that out. But the diameter is smaller than giant-format rolls, which means more frequent changes, especially in a family bathroom. That’s the trade-off for better dissolvability and standard-fit compatibility.

On value, ComfortPlus has been kind to my budget. Because the sheets are stronger than the average 1‑ply, I don’t layer excessively, and the rolls last longer than I first expected. If you’re chasing the absolute lowest cost per square foot, there are cheaper bulk options. If you want a balance of price, comfort, and plumbing safety, this sits in a sweet spot.

Everyday usability

A few quality-of-life notes from daily use:
- The core rolls smoothly on standard holders—no squeaking or sticking.
- Perforations tear cleanly, even when pulling at an angle.
- The sheet texture provides good control without feeling abrasive.
- Minimal lint: I didn’t see residue on skin or fixtures.
- Packaging is straightforward, and the plastic wrap is easy to remove without tearing into the first roll.

It’s worth reiterating that this is 1‑ply. Some people have a mental block against 1‑ply because of the paper-thin stuff found in public restrooms. ComfortPlus isn’t that. It’s firmer, thicker (for its class), and more cohesive.

How it compares to softer 2‑ply options

If you prioritize maximum plushness—especially in a primary bathroom where comfort is the top priority—an ultra-soft 2‑ply will feel more luxurious. However, I’ve found the trade-offs from those lines are real:
- They tend to shed more.
- They dissolve more slowly, which increases clog risk.
- They can encourage overuse because they’re so cushy.

ComfortPlus aims for softness that’s “good enough” while keeping strength high and dissolving quickly. In homes where plumbing and cost matter, that balance can be a smarter choice than chasing peak plushness.

Who it’s best for

• Households with septic systems or older plumbing that benefit from fast-dissolving paper.
• Families who want a comfortable, dependable tissue without paying premium ultra-soft prices.
• Renters and homeowners alike who value fewer lint issues and cleaner tears.
• People who prefer standard-size rolls that fit compact holders.

Who might not love it:
- Those who want oversized “mega” rolls to minimize swaps.
- Users who prioritize maximum plush feel above all else.
- Anyone who equates 1‑ply with “no-go” on principle (though I’d still suggest trying a pack—this is different from typical 1‑ply).

Durability and hygiene

For a 1‑ply, the durability is impressive. It doesn’t shred mid-use, which matters both for hygiene and for how many sheets you need. Folding a couple of sheets produced a stable pad that maintained structure without feeling stiff. That balance of texture and strength helps avoid the “use more to feel clean” spiral that plagues many budget papers.

I also appreciate that it doesn’t leave particles behind. It’s not something people like to talk about, but lint is a real pain point with ultra-soft options. ComfortPlus keeps that in check.

The bottom line

ComfortPlus earns its place as a daily driver in my house. It’s soft enough to keep everyone comfortable, strong enough that I don’t have to over-layer, and it behaves nicely with plumbing. The smaller roll size is the main compromise, and if you love big, long-lasting rolls, you will notice the difference. But in exchange, you get a tissue that dissolves quickly, avoids lint, and offers genuinely good value per pack.

Recommendation: I recommend ComfortPlus for most households, especially if you’re on a septic system or have older pipes. It strikes a practical balance—comfort, reliability, and plumbing peace of mind—without asking you to pay top-shelf prices. If you want ultra-plush, there are softer options, but for everyday use that won’t give your drains a workout, this is the smarter pick.
