How do we really know the manufacturer doesn't cheat every roll one square just for profits?

@Adrift THAT question will take some pondering.

@Adrift have you ever really counted them?

@samueltyler2 No but I am sure there is someone out there who actually has.

@Adrift they have too.muchntimrbon their hands if they have, although I bet Consumer's Reports has.

@samueltyler2 I actually knew someone who worked at a Kotex factory, and her job was to make sure there was a jell strip in every femine pad.
Things you never thought to think about.

@Adrift that would seem a bit easier than counting all of the squares!
