I have used Bounty paper towels exclusively for 15 years because they were always the softest and most absorbent. The new package we purchased is rough, doesn't tear cleanly, has a different texture, and is half as absorbent. Unfortunately I will be switching to another brand until Bounty is back to what it used to be. Very disappointed.

I have been using the same Bounty Select-a-Size paper towels for my entire life (my mom uses them, too!) and the new version of Bounty sucks. I noticed immediately when I opened the package that the paper towels were not the same -- they are rougher. They are also not as absorbent. I will not continue to pay the same price for this new downgraded quality paper towel. Generic grocery store and drug store brands now make paper towels that are very close to how Bounty used to be. I'm happy to give them my money in the future instead. Extremely disappointing, Bounty.

Have been using the Bounty Select-A-Size for years and have preferred Bounty over store brands because of the superior absorbency. However, I recently purchased a large package of Bounty Advanced, Select-A-Size, Longer Sheets. It was higher in price, not as thick, not absorbent, and no better than store brands. Very disappointed in quality.

The last SEVERAL packages I purchased of the Select-a-Size towels have consistently had quality control issues. The towels have been very difficult to tear cleanly. I will plan to purchase the regular ones in the future and cut them in half, which will be easier. Very disappointing!

I've only purchase and use Bounty for my paper towels. Not only were they durable, but also soft enough for the paper towels to be used in many different applications. This recent change to the patter and texture made me go onto this website and write a review. I have not written a review good or bad for anything (product or a restaurant, etc.) in over a decade. Please change Bounty to how it was before with the original pattern and texture. Performance was perfect for many uses cases. While this new pattern/texture may have improved performance in some cases, it limits how expansive Bounty can be used for many applications. About me: I have a sweatshirt with a Bounty graphic logo on it because I loved Bounty so much, and I also have a Ph.D in engineering. Please change it back.

I've always loved Bounty paper towels but this last pack I got I've noticed that the quality has decreased dramatically- to the point where I noticed it right away. The towels are stiffer and just feel cheap. I'll continue to use this pack and if this change ends up improving absorption or it's cleaning effectiveness somehow then I'll change my rating, but my first impression of this new product is not great.

What a disappointment I had when opening a new package of paper towels this week. I immediately noticed the texture change & that they are thinner. After a few uses I also see the overall quality has changed. Get them wet and right away you experience the towel coming apart in layers. I'm sorry that I have a big package of these crummy towels now. I guess they'll become garage towels. Decades of consistently using a product and now I'm forced to look for an alternative. I changed to Bounty 20+ years ago for the strength, thickness & durability. Now I'll leave Bounty due to its weakness, being thin & having no durability. :(

I have been using Bounty for many years and I have recently noticed a change in the quality of the product. The sheets are thinner and weaker and they tear easily across the sheet instead of breaking along the perforated edges as the older product. Something definitely has changed in the manufacturing process as the product has deteriorated in quality. How unfortunate, but I hope you find this feedback helpful, as intended. Regards Umar

So disappointed with the obvious changes in bounty paper towels. No longer the same quality and not worth the price. I think they are skipping a few layers in a classic shrinkflation move. Wouldn't have purchased 2 big packages recently had I realized.

In our most recent deliveries of the product, we have noticed a significant difference in the product—these are not the paper towels we know and want; it is an inferior quality. I have been a loyal Bounty customer for years, due to the superior absorption of the product and liking the simple select a size features (no prints, please!) Cheap paper towels are in a waste of money. Viva is too thick for most uses. Bounty was the perfect option. Now it feels just like the other cheap, thin options.
