Puffs Simple Softness

I am a born and bred die-hard Puffs user. I use them daily for everything from blowing noses to cleaning glasses. I have them stashed everywhere from the bedside table to the travel trailer and the winter coat pockets. Imagine my dismay this last spring when the stores ran out! As the weeks past, the empty spots were refilled with other types and brands. Where did Puffs Basic go? There was no explanation, the website said they were still part of the product lineup. So, where were they? Had they suffered a grave manufacturing misfortune due to the mighty pandemic? I wondered as I emptied my last random box retrieved from the back seat of a car. The other Puffs products (you know: the slimy ones and the thick ones for 3x the price) seemed to greedily take the place of their missing flagship tissue so a shortage didn't seem possible. Was there some sort of conspiracy to squeeze it out of the market? Seems far-fetched, the competitor could never hold up to its glory (you know the one we all mistakenly call tissues by- yeah it smells like fish and falls apart when damp). So where are you Puffs Basic? It's been six months. I've had to suffer through using the inferior competitor brand because it was that or store brand! Let’s check the product website. Oh, you changed its name. Is that the reason it's missing from shelves? Let me search the internet. Yep. No one else knows it by that name either. The retailers P&G direct to for availability do not have it in stock. Shame on you P&G. Why would you sabotage your own product's market share for the sake of a name change? Someone needs to get off their cushy chair and get to work putting PUFFS BASIC (ok “simple softness”) back on the shelves in local stores across the country! If this product's name change causes a loss of revenue, it's on you not the consumer. WE CAN'T BUY IT IF STORES ARE NOT SELLING IT!

Of the various brands and types of facial tissue I've used, these are the very best.

I love the Puffs Basic tissue but why have the new designs been pushed back to 2021 also they are very hard time in the family size boxes
