In addition.    The company says its engineers and scientists, based in Neenah, developed the tubeless toilet paper roll that's been test marketed on a limited scale in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and now is being launched, nationwide, largely through Walmart stores.

Interesting to me that the roll-out of this item is taking so long.  But then, hey, what do I know?  I'm not in product development.

Taking the tube out of toilet paper: a rare product review.  (Albany Times-Union, 12/9/2014)
