I find that Viva is more absorbent than other paper towels. It is also noticiably more soft. It does, however, seem to tear more easily than other brands. So, as far as strength goes, it falls a little shy.

Viva is my paper towel of choice because they are extremely durable, thick and strong. They have a very heavy weave that allows them to hold up to even the worst messes but they still retain a nice smooth texture that makes them perfect for cleaning glass and other shiny surfaces. These paper towels never leave lint or a residue, which makes them perfect for not only cleaning up spills but also for cleaning glass and mirrors. They're so useful around the house! I personally always purchase the plain white paper towels, but Viva also comes in many fun prints.

Okay guys, I don't know that Kleenex is doing, but they are doing it RIGHT. This is seriously the only brand of paper towels that I will buy for my home. I love love love them! They are great at absorbing spills, picking up food, or even swiping up dust. When I was house training my puppy, they were even used to clean up tinkle spots! I have used them on my carpets and also on my tile flooring. They are the thickest paper towels I have ever used, but they are not so thick that they are a pain like a regular hand towel. They are very durable, even when completely soaking wet. They have the same durability as those light blue colored mechanic's paper towels that they use in shops and such for grease and oil spills. I am seriously impressed with this product and do not intend to buy any other brand. Normally, I am a bargain shopper. But, I don't even mind paying a little extra for these because I know they are one hundred percent worth it.

Viva paper towels are the greatest thing I've found. They do not fall apart like some others. They work well on sticky messes. I usually get the messes that my children make cleaned up with just one towel. I am able to clean a mess and then rinse it out and keep using it until the mess is all cleaned. They save me a lot of money.

I don't use Viva paper towels very often, but when I do, they are my paper towel splurge! There really is no other paper towel like Viva. They look different and feel different. I love that they feel very cloth-like and are so soft on your skin. You can use them wet to wipe food, dirt, or whatever off your face or body. Viva has a very unique paper towel material. They are thick, cushioned, strong, and very absorbent. They hold up when wet from hands or cleaning with them. You can get them wet to clean up all sorts of messes. You can use them with cleaning products to wash windows, mirrors, and counter tops, because they are durable when wet. They are much like a towel in some ways. I use them for many things, because they are so versatile. My only negatives would be that the Viva's paper towel rolls are not large and they are a bit expensive. Otherwise, if I could use Viva all the time I probably would.

I was eating dinner at my aunts house one day and she handed me a paper towel. It was not any ordinary paper towel. It felt thick and almost like a cloth. I asked her what it was and she claimed it was Viva paper towel! Ever since then, I buy these for my household and we all love them! They soak up so much liquid if my kid spills something and they are heavy duty. I love that they are so thick and feel like cloth! Great product! Go out and buy Viva! You will not be disappointed!

I absolutely love Viva White Paper Towels. I have 5 kids and there are always messed being made around the house. I use Viva White Paper Towels to clean all the messes up. Especially when one of my kids spills liquid on the carpet, I just place a Viva paper towel on top of it and it absorbs it right out of the carpet. These paper towels have saved me from using our heavy carpet cleaning machine many times. These paper towels are really strong and I also use them to dust furniture, they are almost like using dish clothes because they are so thick. They are definitely not your ordinary paper towels like Bounty or Sparkle. These are much thicker. I have found them to be very useful for cleaning up the kids' faces and hands also. Because not only are they thick but they are also soft enough for my toddler's face. I can usually find them on sale at Kroger or Walmart. Great value!

Soft and long lasting. Bounty leaves grease on my glass and mirrors while Viva does not. You can dry your hands, white a spot on the floor and clean up with the same piece. It does not rip, crumble or fall apart!

Hands downs these are the best paper towels ever. I can use them and rinse a re-wipe stuff so they are great for cleaning and I no longer need lysol wipes. I used to buy bounty, but my husband and I agree that it is worth the small amount we pay extra in order to use these.
