Since when did Sorbent start packing murder kitties into their tissue boxes? Oh yes, that's right when they thought they were saving the planet by… Read more

removing the tiniest bit of thin plastic that sheathed the teeth of the cardboard opening that actually provided a smooth exit for your tissues against the sharp edge of the cardboard package... ‍

Smack my head against a brick wall why don't ya at the lunacy the plastic free movement has landed everyone these days! You might as well throw all sense away and manufacture medical catheters out of bamboo while you're at it!

What loose minded 'design' fool thought this one up? They might as well have put vencro or razor blades around the edge hoping not to shred the tissue on its way out the box! Yeah, like that would be super useful - SAID NO ONE EVER!

If you look closely at a regular tissue box, the thin plastic film protects the paper tissue from tearing against the cardboard exit...that's a sign of intelligence and a smart design.

Without it, you get something called FRICTION....when two materials of the same or similar compounds collide like tissue and cardboard, they need a barrier to slide the tissue out whole without tearing... To illustrate, imagine using a condom without lube (skin to skin = ouch) or not putting oil in your car engine (metal to metal = financial pain) and expecting it to perform... Do you get the point???

What makes me laugh is the tiny opening they expect you to pull tissues out of and then where the plastic part used to be they claim you can remove it when you get to the bottom of the box BUT it is so poorly designed that it breaks, grabs and tears your tissues to shreds in the process... And who enjoys paper or cardboard cuts? Not me.

Surely I am not the only one left in the world with a fully functional brain when it comes to practicality and design functionality?

Maybe I am after witnessing this epic design fail from a company that thinks boasting about their product being designed in Australia yet manufactured elsewhere is a 'good thing'? I don't think so.

Go back to the design drawing board and rethink the design of the box and how it performs in the real world as a product for consumers before you boast about it.

Wasting tissue products that come from trees is a pretty wasteful thing when you need to pull several torn ones before being able to use one properly EACH TIME you reach for a functional tissue is more of a waste than a tiny plastic barrier that bio degradable options can be explored and recycled or torn off by the consumer prior to recycling.

Tissue boxes NEED the thin plastic opening to reduce friction and tearing of the product as well as preventing airborne contaminants like germs, soot, baby spiders, ticks, dust mites etc. landing inside the box which will make you sick the next time you reach for a tissue when you're not sick.

If you really cared for the planet, you'd manufacture refillable tissue boxes and sell the tissue refills in a paper wrap and ditch the plastic toilet wrapping too, but you don't and likely won't.

After having wasted money buying this product (4 boxes at once because they were new and on sale) I'm going to put them in a plastic zip lock, put a piece of tape on the top, cut a slit in it and use and refill the zip lock with your scrappy tissues when it runs out and then never buy your products until you employ a design team that has more than one working brain that isn't shared, divided, or declared brain dead.

You really don't want me to roast your toilet paper products at how they clog the waterways, sewerage treatment facilities, home toilets... Oh, the plumbers are making a profit thanks to your 3 and 4 ply dunny rolls. And if you're thinking that was a compliment - I must be slipping.
