Enterthedeals Scott ComfortPlus Toilet Paper, 12 Triple Rolls
Introduction
This review covers Scott ComfortPlus Toilet Paper (12 Triple Rolls, 231 sheets per roll). Manufactured by Scott (Kimberly-Clark is the parent company), this product sits in the household disposable hygiene category as 1-ply bath tissue designed for everyday bathroom use. Scott markets this tissue as a balance of softness and strength while remaining septic-safe and flushable for residential plumbing and septic systems.
Product Overview
Product title: Scott ComfortPlus Toilet Paper, 12 Triple Rolls, 231 Sheets per Roll, Septic-Safe, 1-Ply Toilet Tissue.
Price at time of review: $5.69 (pack of 12 triple rolls).
Intended use: personal hygiene (bathroom tissue), suitable for homes, apartments, guest bathrooms, and properties with septic systems.
Appearance, Materials & Design
Scott ComfortPlus is a one-ply tissue that is thicker than basic value brands by Scott’s claims (advertised as “3x thicker and 4x stronger than the leading value brand”). The paper has an embossed/ridged texture — a visible pattern of ridges designed to add surface area, tactile comfort, and cleaning efficiency. Sheets are plain white with no added scent or visible lotion. Physically, each roll contains 231 perforated sheets; packaging groups them as 12 “triple” rolls for an apparent bulk-buy value.
A few buyer reports note that the rolls appear smaller than the “mega” style rolls some shoppers expect, meaning you may need to replace the roll more frequently than with true jumbo/long-life rolls. Packaging presentation received mixed feedback; while the product itself performs acceptably, some customers said the external packaging looked a bit sloppy on arrival.

Experience Using the Product
Below are practical observations and expected performance based on user feedback and feature claims.
Comfort & Softness
Scott ComfortPlus offers a moderate level of softness. The ridged embossing gives a perception of plushness without being ultra-soft. Many users find it comfortably soft for everyday use—softer than the most basic value brands, though not quite as plush as premium brands like Cottonelle. For everyday bathrooms and family use, the comfort level is generally satisfactory.
Strength & Durability
Despite being 1-ply, the material feels reasonably strong and doesn’t fall apart easily when used correctly (tears primarily along perforations as expected). Absorbency is good for a 1-ply product, and the embossed texture helps with cleaning efficiency. Several users reported it holds up well during use and does not produce excess lint.
Flushability & Plumbing/Sewer Safety
Scott advertises ComfortPlus as septic-safe and dissolving faster than certain competitors. If you have a septic system or are concerned about clogging, the product is marketed for safe flushing. While manufacturer claims are favorable, users should still follow plumbing best practices (avoid flushing excessive amounts or other materials).
Roll Size & Frequency of Replacement
Although marketed as “triple rolls,” some buyers reported that the rolls are smaller than they expected compared to “mega” or high-sheet-count Scott rolls (e.g., 1,000-sheet options). In larger households or high-traffic bathrooms, you should expect to change rolls more often than with large mega rolls — one review specifically noted frequent changes in a household of five.
Best Use Scenarios
- Family bathrooms: Good balance of cost and comfort for daily use.
- Guest or secondary bathrooms: Cost-effective and presentable if stored away from immediate sight (some users noted packaging appearance issues).
- Septic systems / RVs: Marketed as dissolvable and septic-safe, which may be preferable for septic tank owners or certain mobile applications (still use prudence and moderation).
- Budget-conscious shoppers: A sensible substitute for premium brands when trying to reduce household costs while keeping reasonable comfort and strength.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Good value — affordable price for a 12-roll bulk pack.
- Balanced softness and strength for a 1-ply product; embossed ridges add comfort and cleaning efficiency.
- Advertised septic-safe and faster-dissolving properties (helpful for septic systems).
- No added scent or residue; low linting reported.
- Durable enough to avoid tearing during normal use.
Cons
- Rolls are smaller than some shoppers expect (not as long-lasting as “mega” or high-sheet-count rolls), leading to more frequent changes in busy bathrooms.
- Not as plush or fluffy as premium, multi-ply brands (e.g., Cottonelle); trade-off between quantity and softness.
- Some users reported sloppy or less attractive packaging/presentation on arrival.
- Manufacturer claims about dissolving “10x faster” are marketing statements; individual plumbing systems and conditions vary.
Conclusion
Scott ComfortPlus (12 Triple Rolls, 231 sheets each) is a solid budget-friendly option that strikes a practical balance between comfort, strength, and flushability. It delivers respectable softness for a one-ply tissue thanks to its embossed ridges and holds up well during use without excessive lint. The pack is attractively priced for buyers who want a reliable everyday toilet paper without paying premium brand rates.
The main caveat is roll length: if you prefer very long-lasting “mega” rolls, these will feel smaller and require more frequent replacement. If ultimate plushness is your priority, a multi-ply premium brand will feel softer. For households seeking an affordable, septic-safe, and reasonably comfortable tissue — especially for family or secondary-bathroom use — Scott ComfortPlus is a practical, cost-effective choice.
Recommendation
Buy Scott ComfortPlus if you want a value-oriented, septic-safe 1-ply toilet paper with decent softness and strength. Consider buying larger-sheet Scott options or a premium multi-ply brand if you prioritize fewer roll changes or extra plushness over unit price savings.
