I purchased several packs of this product recently and I'm shocked by the extremely poor quality. Bounty has been my preferred paper towel brand for the last 40 years for its absorbency and high quality. This latest version is comparable to the least absorbent generic brand. Not only am I totally surprised, but I'm also now disappointed that I bought in bulk.

I bought a whole new package in bulk. Consumers get very excited 😆 about how absorbing the “Quicker Picker Upper” brand of Bounty Paper Towels cleans smart disheartening small spills of water 💦, juices, & other ways similar messy food(-crumbs; dead insects, & just about any kind of uses). Thank you Bounty Paper Products. A loyal customer in the DFW area of Northwestern Texas

I've been a loyal Bounty user for over 20 years. Recently I noticed that they are less absorbent. They're thinner and rougher. They cost more but perform less. I used to spray 2 squirts of cleaner and use a half sheet to wipe the counter and the towel just got damp. Now, the towel gets soaked from the same 2 squirts of cleaner and it begins to shred apart if I continue to wipe another area, something I used to be able to do. Instead, now I have to use 2-3 times what I used to use in order to complete the same task. These paper towels are no longer of value to me, they're not worth buying again. I'm disappointed that Bounty would cheapen their product like this - AND! - charge more money for it. I will not be buying Bounty Paper Towels any more.

Honestly I thought it was me... I've never bought the "prints" so when they were horrible I thought it was just the prints, but after the other reviews I know it is all your products. I've never used any other paper towel, but I'm going to now. What happened???

After reading so many negative reviews, I have decided to purchase another brand. I am changing so I don't get stuck with 16 rolls of disappointment. Why on earth would Bounty change the best towel offered to a cheaper version?? Apparently Bounty has taken the best and decided to be like the rest. Such a shame! Instead of all the automated responses, how about addressing what created the change.

We use (might become 'used') a lot of paper towels and have always purchased Bounty for many reasons. We have noticed a poorer quality of paper (feel and thickness) lately but so far this has been more of a textural issue rather than an absorbency issue; however, the absorbency has been an issue at times. We have found that we can no longer cleanly rip off one sheet. The roll just spins or it rips at the 2nd or 3rd sheet. No, we have not changed our towel rack nor how we handle the rolls. We also find that the end piece is glued down so tight that when trying to start the role it always tears the top row and the next layer of paper as well. Some of the sheets splitting mid sheet rather than at the perforated spot.

I have been using Bounty paper towels ever since they first appeared. Why the change? The paper is thicker, not as absorbent, never tears off cleanly unless I use two hands and even then, often tears off crookedly at the bottom. I used to use them wet with detergent to clean countertops, then wring out and rinse. Also used to clean eyeglasses. No more with new thicker and cheaper feeling towels. I am looking for an alternate - after all these years! Sadly disappointed!

I want to know why they're discontinuing the forever roll! We loved it and had many friends ask where we got it. I just hate it's gone. I hope another company will pick up the forever roll! I do like the quality of the bounty paper towel but I give one star because I hate what they're doing.

I have always bought Bounty Select A Size, but they feel so different now - thinner, rougher, and they don't tear as easily. There is nothing on the label to indicate a change in the paper towels, so I had no idea they'd be different! Please bring back the old formula or at least explain why they're different. Thanks!

Procter & Gamble, you just don't seem to get it. What we're all talking about here is NOT a quality CONTROL issue; it's an issue of REDUCED quality in the post-September 2022 Bounty paper towels, and a higher price for an inferior product. I've been using BPTs for over half a century because of their consistently high quality. Sadly, I've had no choice but to join the ranks of the "defectors" seeking a better product at a better price point. Gotta give you credit, though, for publishing all these negative comments.
