Charmin Flushable Wipes are flushable, premoistened wet wipes that give the entire family a more fresh, clean feeling than dry bath tissue alone.
In 2007, Charmin upgraded the one-ply red-packaged product to Charmin Ultra Strong - a two-ply tissue designed for consumers who prefer superior strength and durability in cleaning. If you prefer a one-ply tissue, we recommend Charmin Essentials Strong.
All stores are able to order any version of Charmin. So, if you can't find your favorite, contact your store manager and say, "I want my Charmin!" You also can buy Charmin online, or call us toll-free in the U.S. at 1-800-777-1410, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., EST.
We changed the name to Charmin Ultra Gentle to show that we help meet your sensitive needs.
Here's an easy fix if the plies aren't lining up:
- Hold the roll in front of you with the paper winding over the top.
- Pull the top ply up and drop it back behind the roll.
- Its perforations should match with the layer that's now on top.
- Tear away the excess and you're good to go.
