1. Using toilet paper to wipe your mouth
Regular toilet paper rolls are produced for use in toilets. However, nowadays, most restaurants use them for customers to wipe their mouths, clean utensils... because they think that food paper and toilet paper have similar production processes, so the quality is similar. However, according to experts, food paper and toilet paper are two completely different types produced using different processes.

When you use this type of paper to wipe utensils and clean your mouth after eating, you are indirectly introducing diseases into your body. Furthermore, if you frequently come into contact with this harmful type of paper, you are at risk of contracting diseases related to the digestive system, respiratory system, skin, eyes...

2. Storing toilet paper in a reserve bag
Many girls have a habit of carrying some toilet paper in their bag when going out for emergencies. In fact, toilet paper when in contact with some other objects will generate many bacteria accumulating on the paper.
Do not store toilet paper/napkins in the bag
Not only bacteria, but toilet paper left outside for too long will also accumulate a lot of dirt. So, change this habit if you don't want to introduce germs into your body.
3. Using toilet paper to clean the “intimate area”
Using toilet paper to wipe the “intimate area” is a civilized habit because it helps keep this sensitive area dry, clean, and prevents bacteria from invading. However, according to experts, toilet paper is the culprit behind diseases in women.
Avoid using poor-quality toilet paper to wipe the intimate area
If you use poor-quality toilet paper, the risk of gynecological diseases is extremely high. The reason is that recycled, poor-quality toilet paper contains a large amount of bacteria. According to doctors, if used frequently, you are creating conditions for fungal infections to enter the vagina, causing inflammation.
Additionally, types of toilet paper with unclear origins in public places, if directly exposed to the skin in the “anal” area, can cause skin irritation, leading to gynecological diseases. Furthermore, if you wipe too hard, it may cause extremely painful anal fissures and take from 8 to 12 weeks to heal, or even cause hemorrhoids.
Apart from anal fissures, you can also get urinary tract infections. If you wipe from back to front, you will drag bacteria from the anus to the front part of the body.
So how should toilet paper be used correctly?
Women should choose high-quality toilet paper or paper towels to clean the intimate area after each toilet visit.
Toilet paper must be kept clean, in a dry, airy place, still in its original packaging, with a clear manufacturing address and date. Use it as needed, don't leave the paper outside for too long.
When using any type of towel/paper, the correct order is always from front to back (clean the intimate area first, then the anus). This will help eliminate the risk of bacteria from the anus attacking the vagina.
It is advisable to choose toilet paper in natural white color. Toilet paper with colored or overly white often contains a lot of fluorescent and gypsum which can have serious health consequences.
