The post said: "Lidl have changed the quality of their quilted toilet paper, changed from 4 ply to 3 ply but have kept the price the same." The post garnered nearly 400 comments from others sharing their disappointment with the revelation.Responding to the claims, a Lidl spokesperson explained that the product was recently reformulated to improve the quality of each individual layer.
A Lidl spokesperson said: "Our teams have been working hard to improve the quality of the individual layers in our Floralys Quilted Toilet Tissue, making them thicker and stronger than before. This means that customers are still getting a high-quality product at the same great value price."
