🧻 A Safer Wipe: Why Women Deserve Better Toilet Paper This Women’s Health Month
May is Women’s Health Month — and while most of the spotlight falls on big health topics like heart disease, breast cancer, or fertility, there's one unsung daily essential that often gets overlooked: toilet paper.
But here’s the truth: not all TP is created equal, and if you're a woman, this should matter a lot.
🚺 Why It’s a Bigger Deal for Women
On average, women use 3 to 5 times more toilet paper than men — and we’re not just talking about bathroom habits. From menstruation to pregnancy to everyday hygiene, women interact with TP far more frequently.
Now, here’s the kicker: vaginal skin is 42x more absorbent than other skin. That means whatever’s in your TP isn’t just brushing against your body — it’s being absorbed into it.
And unfortunately, mainstream toilet paper has a dirty secret.
🧪 The Hidden Toxins in Regular TP
Most conventional toilet paper contains a cocktail of harmful chemicals:
-
Formaldehyde – used to strengthen toilet paper, but it's a known carcinogen and skin irritant.
-
Chlorine bleach & dioxins – these chemicals whiten paper, but they don’t belong anywhere near sensitive skin. Dioxins are toxic, linked to hormone disruption and reproductive harm.
-
PFAS (forever chemicals) – found in some brands, these are the same chemicals found in nonstick pans and firefighting foam. They've been linked to cancer, fertility issues, and immune dysfunction.
Daily contact with these toxins — especially on one of the most delicate, absorbent parts of the body — is a risk women shouldn't have to take.
