Chris, this is probably not much help regarding the tissues you mentioned. I use all different types of tissues, although my preference is for Sorbent. The first thing that jumped into my mind though is that almost everything seems to be thinner, lesser and smaller than they were before. The only thing that seems larger is the cost.
It's my wallet that is getting smaller.
It does often take us a while to depart from what was our choice before has changed to a different brand.
