Seventh Generation Paper Towels: 100% Recycled 2-Ply White, 140 Count (Pack of 4) Review

I try to use recycled products. These have met my expectations. They are quite enough to remove small stains. They are perforated so you can choose the size. It may sound petty, but if you rip it off, it will come off easily.

Unfortunately they have changed recently as I have bought a lot of them. The cardboard tube is now much larger, making it more difficult to use with most paper towel holders. I wish they would come back and make a regular size pipe.

Those are terrible paper towels. They are very thin and not absorbent at all. We've started doubling them up to match what we're used to when using 'regular' paper towels.

These seventh generation paper towels are at the same time very thin and surprisingly absorbent. Even water on the kitchen table they seem to move, but actually soak it up: it takes a second wipe with another towel to remove the water

I have been ordering these paper towels in bulk for a year or more because they are 100% recycled and the quality of virgin paper products. The PHOTO on the left shows the old thicker formula and on the right the thin new one. Now I'm dismayed to see that the new formula effectively picks up half as much for the same price. To…

I couldn't believe the description said '2 layers' (I thought that was wrong) and I took a closer look at the edge at 10x before I saw it was actually 2 layers and I did could separate them. They are…
