Toilet paper: wet or dry? Which is the right toilet paper?

Every German uses around 46 rolls of toilet paper per year . There is an average of 93 per household, as a study by the industry association for personal care and detergents found. Moist toilet paper is particularly popular .

But even if the moist variant is generally popular, caution is advised. Because: Moist toilet paper often contains preservatives and fragrances and thus allergens. In the worst case, these substances can cause inflammation. Dermatologists therefore advise you to rely on pure toilet paper.

Don't be fooled by the toilet paper marketing tricks

Also marketing names such as "sensitive" or "skin-friendly" bring real added value in the rarest cases. The terms are not legally protected and can be printed on the toilet paper packaging by any manufacturer as they please.

It is much more important that the toilet paper is soft and comfortable to the touch. But even then, caution is advised. The genital area is sensitive and should not be cleaned with force or pressure. The paper should be folded for this, in most cases two or three sheets are sufficient - unless the paper is particularly thin, as in some public toilets.

Toilet paper: toilet paper yes - soaps and creams better not

In any case, soap should be left out when cleaning the anus. This is because it can dry out the sensitive skin area and increase the risk of inflammation . Water is perfectly adequate. Lukewarm, clear water is therefore even better than toilet paper for cleaning - for example from a butt shower. Then there is no need to dispose of it, because apart from toilet paper, very few things belong in the toilet.

It is similar to soap with creams, lotions and ointments. In general, these should not be on the bottom either. These products also often contain substances that can damage the sensitive body region. Vaseline is also not recommended as it does not allow the skin to breathe. And if the skin is already damaged, it is even easier to damage it with toilet paper .

Toilet paper: Not only toilet paper is important

Last but not least, you should also pay attention to the right underwear to protect the anus. Experts advise against synthetic fabrics and strings. They make the skin vulnerable and sensitive - even to toilet paper . Cotton should be the fabric of choice.

By the way: A long debate about toilet paper revolves around the right direction when hanging it on a holder. A patent for this holder was registered in the USA as early as 1891 under registration US 459516A by a certain Seth Wheeler. It is clearly stated in it: The loose paper must come forward. (By Marcel Richters)
