Kirkland Signature Premium Paper Towels vs Bounty Essentials Select-A-Size Paper Towels

Buy the Kirkland Signature Premium if you want big, thick, absorbent sheets for kitchen spills and heavy cleaning; its full and half sheets are wider and it holds up well when wet. Buy Bounty Essentials if you want smaller select-a-size sheets for light everyday messes and a softer feel on hands and faces. Reviewers rate Bounty well and owners of Kirkland value its bulk and strength, but Kirkland's rolls are bulky and Bounty Essentials is the thinner, lighter-duty line.

• Choose the Kirkland Signature Premium if you want large, thick 2-ply sheets that soak up big kitchen spills and don't fall apart when wet.
• Choose the Bounty Essentials if you want small select-a-size sheets for quick wipe-ups and a softer towel for hands and faces.
