For years now the use of tissue paper has been the commonest means of cleansing. Little do we know that this very important item also pose a threat to our health.

As a woman after releasing your stool, you are at the a risk of urinary infection. Women's health expert and MD, Jennifer Wider, explained that the use of toilet paper may not allow an individual to clean up properly. For women, the stool particles that are left behind can travel to the woman’s vaginal opening and into her urethra, causing an infection.
Toilet paper industries use chlorine and chlorine dioxide to bleach the toilet paper. This process can create cancer-causing chemicals such as dioxins and furans. Research has proven that even low levels of exposure have been linked to health problems such as hormonal imbalance, reduced fertility and even cancer.
The reason these health issues occur is because our bodies do not have the ability to
exert dioxins, so over time they just accumulate.
Another reason toilet paper can cause hormonal imbalance is because it
contains the dangerous chemical Bisphenol A (BPA).
Amazingly, there is a reputable solution to cleaning after using the rest room. One popular solution is the use of water which cleans properly and wipes away stool remnants from every part. But for those who are fond of using toilet paper, purchase natural, unbleached products or you can go for wet wipes like those used for babies. They are more efficient and less of strain when used.
