What changed? Towels are now rough.
I have used Bounty my entire life due to it being a high quality product. What happened suddenly? The last two packs I have purchased have been a disappointment. The towels are so rough and poor quality. It's worse than any generic brand. Why did you change the texture. I am forced to buy a different brand now.
We appreciate you being part of our Bounty family, Gaby, and so we have many quality checks to ensure you always get the best. We'd like to reassure you that we're still the paper towel you can rely on, as well as getting more information for our Quality Team, so when you have time please reach out to us at (800) 926-8689.
LOYAL Customer Confused
I've been purchasing your paper towels since “I can't remember buying another brand”… BUT, your packaging sizes, description, specs, etc has made it nearly impossible for your customers to determine where (or size/sale price) they want to purchase your bulk packs based cost/savings!!! Never mind trying to figure it out with a standard calculator on our phones while in-store, it's almost equally impossible to figure it out while shopping online - even with utilizing algebra & calculus skills. Most retailers do not include total sq footage. Without that #, how are consumers even able to determine where/what size they want to buy your product to help them save money with inflation on the rise???? It becomes so frustrating which 1) leaves us to either guess at what size we want or 2) pick another brand. Having said that, how many customers are buying another brand because it's become a nightmare determining what size of Bounty is my best value???
We really appreciate your loyalty and that you took the time to share your feedback with us, Loralye. We're sorry for any confusion with the specifications provided for our different roll sizes. We always want you to have an easy time finding the best value and assure you that we're here to help. We're happy to share square footage and other sizing details with you for our variety of roll sizes, and we encourage you to give us a call at (888) 616-2974 to give us the chance to do so.
Smearing issues
I had bought only Bounty brand towels to clean mirrors, glass handrails and heavy glass showers, for the past 26 years since starting my glass business. I have always thrown away the first two sheets because the glue residue that smears on the glass. I don't know what changes have been made but I can't hardly clean anything without smudges now!!!
Your experience with Bounty should still lead to the crystal clear, clean you, and we, expect. Using a different glass cleaner can sometimes lead to more streaks, as can heat/sunshine, because the cleaning spray can dry before it's wiped clean. Be sure you change towels frequently and use plenty of streak-free glass cleaner and clean paper towels. We'd be happy to help further, give us a jingle any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 926-8689, call when you can.
Don't take customer loyalty for granted
The new version of Bounty Towels is so different that I had to double check the packing to be sure I bought the Bounty brand that I have used for decades. The towels are stiff like cheap towels and are not absorbent. Shame on you, Bounty Towels. You have lost a loyal customer.
Your loyalty means the world to us, and we're so sorry that you were displeased with your recent Bounty experience. Quality is at the heart of what we do, and we put our paper towel rolls through tons of consumer testing and quality checks to ensure perfect condition and performance. We're so sorry that this wasn't the case with your latest purchase. We'd love to try to win you back and make this experience up to you. Please give us a call at 1-800-566-7252 (M-F 9AM-6PM EST) when you have a chance.
Ugh! Boo!
I have been using nothing but Bounty paper towels for 45 years. I don't mind paying more for them because they are (or were!) the best. My last purchase of 10 Full-Sheet Triple Rolls is awful. The towels have a much more "papery" and rough consistency, and they are not as durable. I noticed the difference right away, as soon as I opened the package. I then compared a "new" roll to a roll that I had remaining from my previous purchase, and there is definitely a big difference in the way the sheets feel. I cleaned my bathroom today with a "new" roll, and the sheets are definitely not as durable. The "old" towels felt and cleaned more like cloth and didn't fall apart. Did you think that your longtime and very loyal customers wouldn't notice? I am very disappointed and will have to resort to trying other brands. I've rolled with the various changes to Bounty over the years, but this latest change is the pits.
We can't begin to tell you how much it means to us that you've been part of our Bounty family for 45 years. With the many quality checks we have in place you should always get the best, and we're sorry to hear this. Please reach out to us at (800) 926-8689 when you have time and we'll reassure you that we're still the quicker picker upper you can rely on.
Changed for the worse. No longer worth the extra cost.
I just have to laugh reading these replies from Bounty, such as this: "We'd like to mention that in February 2023, we upgraded our paper towels so that they deliver improved absorbency. They have a clothlike look and texture to enable messes to be picked up more quickly & completely." In fact, this package I have just bought (in March) shows the exact opposite. These towels used to be soft, absorbent, sturdy, and even reusable--as in while cleaning a big mess, you could ring them out (even rinse them) and keep using them. Now they are stiff, rough paper... not "cloth-like" in the least. A long time ago, I tried out the "Essentials" in place of the Select-A-Size. I didn't like them and decided to keep spending the extra money to have a nicer paper towel that worked so well. It was worth the extra cost. What you have sold me this time is worse than the Essentials used to be, which makes me wonder what you have done to those at this point in time. Come on now. I've used this brand for decades, even when finances were extremely tight, and you've lost me.

NO MORE FOREVER ROLL - IM CRUSHED !
I absolutely LOVED the Forever Rolls ! With a household full of pets I finally found a great roll of paper towels that lasted more than a couple days for a good price and now they discontinued them ! I knew it was too good to be true !!!!! WHY DISCONTINUE THE BEST PRODUCT YOU'VE EVER MADE !?!? WHY??? PLEASE RETHINK THIS DECISION!! BRING BACK FOREVER ROLLS !
We’re glad you liked the Forever Roll, and know that it is a tough decision when we discontinue something. While we have discontinued the Bounty Forever Roll for now, we have launched the Bounty Mega Roll which is another great option for a long-lasting roll to help clean up after all those pets! We’ll share with our team that you’d like to see it return, and you’re welcome to call us at (800) 926-8689 for any other feedback.
Change in Paper Towel was AWFUL decision
I thought my husband accidentally bought a store brand paper towel, but was shocked when I realized it was Bounty's new triple ply select a size that we always buy. Good heavens… the Bounty paper towels are now very coarse, scratchy and worst of all THIN! They are less absorbent. A tissue would work better! Please, please change it back! We've been buying Bounty for decades, but I would be hesitant to buy it again if the quality does not improve. I called Bounty's 800 number to leave feedback also.
We understand the frustrations of loyal consumers like you, Suz, as this is not typical for your towels to not be up to Bounty standards. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, and we're passing this report to the Quality Assurance Team to research what happened with this batch. We try our best to ensure each sheet is of the Bounty Quality you love and trust by performing many tests and quality checks during manufacturing, and it's disheartening to know some rolled away that makes you feel less confident in your favorite brand. Our Bounty Towels were upgraded to deliver an improved absorbency and clothlike look and texture to enhance your quicker, picker-upper experience, but we fully expect the quality to remain the same. We're so sorry this wasn't the case for you. Hearing from users like you helps us to identify and fix these errors, so we'd love an opportunity to make this right. Please call us at 1-800-926-8689, M-F, 9 am to 6 pm EST, when you can, so we can review your Bounty purchase.
Seeking Alternatives
I am in agreement with previous reviews regarding the change of quality of Bounty paper towels. Besides the rough surface, I get frustrated when I tear a 'select-a- size' sheet, I'm left with a little "tail" on the next available sheet on the roll where it doesn't tear off cleanly. These towels no longer have my trust for any type of cleaning job because they fall apart and leave lint everywhere! Did you think the consumer wouldn't notice? I have been a loyal customer for decades and was always willing to pay premium because they out-performed all other paper towels. I'm sad to say that I will be researching alternative products. Procter and Gamble should be ashamed to put their name on this disgraceful product.
We want you to always be confident when purchasing Bounty, so we have a number of quality checks to ensure you get the best, and we're sorry to hear that hasn't been the case. We'd like to reassure you that we're still the quicker picker upper you can rely on, as well as get more information for our Quality Team, so when you have a minute please get in touch with us at (800) 926-8689.
Huge Drop in Quality
What happened bounty? The paper towels are now thin cheap garbage for the highest price on the market. Who thought this was a good idea? Your brand reputation will be ruined because of this. I might as well buy sparkle for this poor quality and save some money. Shameful money grab. Let me guess, you're going to bring back the old style paper towels and make a big fuss about it to make even more money?
Your satisfaction means the absolute most to us, so we have a number of quality checks to ensure you get the best. We're sorry to hear that wasn't the case this time, and glad you let us know. When you have a little time, please reach out to us at (800) 926-8689, and we'll help reassure you that Bounty is still the quicker picker upper you can rely on.
