The Charmin name was first created in 1928 by the Hoberg Paper Company in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. The toilet paper was described as charming, thus, the name still used today.

Older advertisements featured the fictional grocer Mr. Whipple who told customers, "Please don't squeeze the Charmin!". Newer advertisements focus on animated bears going to the bathroom at trees. This subliminal reference to an old, off-color joke is apparently considered an improvement.
