The new bounty is a downgrade.
on January 14, 2023
Posted by: Jaynith
I’ve used bounty for years and years. No other brand came close to it. But now with the change, it’s exactly like the rest… disappointing. I’d rather pay more to have the quality back.

NEW BOUNTY QUALITY RUINED
on January 3, 2023
Posted by: disappointed1000
It was bounty or nothing, until a few days ago. The quality is terrible. You have to go through 4 times as many towels as you used, which makes them no better than any other off-brand. Really disappointing.

Disappointed that the Bounty 8=24 Triple packs have shrunk the quantity of sheets per roll ...
on April 16, 2025
Posted by: Ohio Guy
I recently purchased a couple of the Bounty 8=24 Triple paper towel packages. When I went to stack them on top existing 8=24 Triple packages I had, it was clear that these latest packages were oddly smaller dimensionally than the older ones. A quick glance at the packages' specifications revealed that Bounty has downsized the number of paper towels per roll, despite there being no reduction in the price we paid.
Here are the numbers for the older (by a month or two) 8=24 Triple packages I have: * 147 2-Ply Sheets Per Roll ... 529 Square Feet Per Package (66.125sq.ft./roll) Here are the numbers for the newer 8=24 Triple packages I just purchased: * 123 2-Ply Sheets Per Roll ... 443 Square Feet Per Package (55.375sq.ft./roll) =========================================================== That equates to 24 less sheets per each roll, and 192 less sheets per package. The 8=24 Triple package has now lost 192 sheets, i.e., more than 1 full size roll/package.
In addition to the product's shrinkage issue, the sheet perforations are now hit or miss as to whether or not one can successfully tear off a sheet cleanly without tearing pieces of the chosen sheet, or the one left on the roll. C'mon Bounty, get your quality act together! If you're going to shortchange purchasers on the quantity of sheets per package, you could at least ensure that users can tear off a sheet(s) cleanly each and every time.
Finally, as others have noted, Bounty towels are not as great as they once were for cleaning windows and mirrors, and tend to leave lint behind. This is another disappointment that I find annoying -- the only I've solution I've found is to use a clean microfiber towel for the final wipe down.
I've used Bounty paper towels for decades. I sincerely hope your quality control team will take these comments seriously and take the necessary steps needed!

We always want to roll our best to you to help you pick up quicker, and we have strict quality controls in place to ensure this. In fact, recently we upgraded our paper towels to absorb spills faster, and hold onto the mess without going back for a more complete clean. Our paper towels are now thicker, while still being flexible and cloth-like. When we make upgrades we're continually striving to find the right balance between ensuring superior value for consumers and operating our business sustainably for the long term. We've has seen substantial year-over year increases of commodity costs. To help, we work to keep the prices as low as possible while still delivering the exceptional quality our consumers expect from us. We're so sorry to hear this purchase missed the mark and the quality you know and expect. Let's see how we can help, and make this right. Please call us at 1-800-926-8689. We're available Monday-Friday 9am-6pm EST.

Out with the New, back to the Old...PLEASE!
on December 16, 2022
Posted by: eljay
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.

The new bounty is horrific
on January 18, 2023
Posted by: Does anyone care anymore
What ever happened to the days of a quality product and customer loyalty? Does anything even matter anymore? The company decided to wipe away years of goodwill in order to boost its bottom line. SAD.
Response from bountytowels.comBy Aizaz Khalid, The Bounty Team, January 20, 2023
One of Bounty's claims to fame is its absorbency and strength, and we never want to let a loyal Bounty fan like yourself down. Our products go through many quality checks, and we try our very best to ensure that each arrives in good condition. We're sorry your latest purchase isn't meeting the standards we all know and love, and we'd like to take a closer look into this, so we can help.

The New Coke of Paper Towels
on January 29, 2023
Posted by: BringBackBounty
You can give me all the data you want on how absorbent these new towels are, we touch these with our hands, dry our hands, etc. The feeling of these new towels are horrible.
Let’s hope that like Coca-Cola, that the folks at Proctor and Gamble realize this was a bad decision and bring back “Bounty Classic”.
The folks in R&D and Marketing should get a big black eye over this one.
Response from bountytowels.comBy Aizaz Khalid, The Bounty Team, February 1, 2023

Terrible, researching alternatives
on March 5, 2023
Posted by: LostCustomer
Raised on Bounty and purhased for many years. Will be researching alternatives. New product is a joke compared to the last of the old roll I just finished. Want to know how to destroy a brand? This, this is how you destroy a brand.
Response from bountytowels.comBy Aizaz Khalid, The Bounty Team, March 7, 2023
It's disheartening to lose a loyal consumer like you, and we appreciate you sharing your honest feedback. We try our best to ensure each sheet you use is of the Bounty Quality you love and trust by performing many tests and quality checks during manufacturing, and we're sorry some rolled away that makes you feel this way.
Hearing from longtime users like you mean a lot and helps us identify and fix these errors, and 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 report this quality and review the Bounty Towels you purchased.

Lesser than the original product
on June 13, 2024
Posted by: Stuckmeyer
I remember when bounty actually was absorbent. Napkins too! These past few years their softness and absorbency is a stiffer and and less efficient product. Much more like an inferior generic brand. And the cost is outrageous! What happened to your quality???
Response from bountytowels.comBy Customer Care, June 13, 2024
We're sorry to hear that you feel this way. We can assure you that both our paper towels and napkins go through many quality checks to ensure that you can get the best possible results with them. We'd like to mention that our paper towels were last updated in 2023, and now deliver an improved absorbency and clothlike look and texture to enable messes to be picked up more quickly & completely. As well, we haven't made any recent changes to our napkins. We'll be sure to share your comments with the rest of our team, and we'd also like to learn more about your experience. When you have a chance, please give us a call at (800) 926-8689.
