Thirst Pockets Select-A-Size review

I was recently contacted to see if I'd like to roadtest a new product from Thirst Pockets called Select-A-Size. Now, reviewing kitchen roll may not be very glamorous but living in a house with a variety of kids and pets, it's something we always use a lot of (as you can see in my earlier review of Thirst Pockets Multi Cloth) so I said sure, send some over !

The concept really appealed to my green ethics. Each sheet of kitchen roll has a perforation down the middle so you can take a half sheet if it's only a little spill that you need to clean up. That's saves wasting paper and also money because it's true that many times, I only use a small area of a sheet of kitchen roll to get the job done.

However, I think they've made a bit of an error of judgement. They've made the roll 50% bigger than usual - here you can see a roll of Thirst Pockets Select-A-Size on the left and a regular brand of kitchen roll on the right. If the unique selling point is cutting down on waste, allowing you choose a smaller half sheet, I can't see the logic of making the rolls bigger as it rather defeats the whole object.

It's a great idea but I hope they'll stop super-sizing the rolls. If you'd like to give  it a try, you can currently get a 50p off voucher on the Thirst Pockets website.
