If you’ve been leaving the bathroom feeling sore, irritated, itchy, or otherwise uncomfortable, you aren’t alone.
Here’s the awful stuff that toilet paper can do to your vagina AND what you can do to stop the icky cycle.
1. Microcuts
This is the stuff of nightmares, but when you wipe your vagina you can
create hundreds of microcuts on your labia and elsewhere. This is not
only painful but can lead to dangerous infections. We’re not saying give
up the TP, but try dabbing your vagina instead of wiping to protect
yourself from dangerous microcuts.
2. Puffiness
So many toilet papers out there contains chemicals, fragrances, and
dyes. These make for a nice looking and smelling product, but they can
wreak havoc on your vagina, irritating the tissue which can lead to
serious puffiness and itching.
White toilet paper often contains BLEACH which (surprise) can be very
irritating to some more sensitive vaginas. Another cause of puffiness
can be too much wiping. If your vagina is puffy, start with easing on
the wiping pressure. If this doesn’t help, try buying an unbleached
organic toilet paper that’s formeldahyde-free.
3. UTIs
In women the urethra is pretty darn short. That means it can be easier
for bacteria to creep up and cause infections. If you’re wiping back to
front you could be pushing feces (which is riddled with bacteria) into
your urethra putting you on a one way track to UTI city. There’s an easy
fix, start wiping front to back.
4. Yeast Infections
The chemicals in your toilet paper that are causing puffiness in your
vagina? They can also be giving you yeast infections. The chemicals used
to give paper fragrance can mess with your vagina’s perfectly balanced
PH system and lead to recurring yeast infection. If you think your TP is
giving you yeast infections, trying switching out to something
hypoallergenic.
