When searching for potential culprits of your vulvar pain, toilet paper might seem an unimportant candidate for this title.

But believe me – toilet paper (often stuffed with harmful and toxic chemicals) can be one of your main problems causing your v irritation, puffiness, allergies, and pain. And yes, it can also be one of the main reasons of your vulvodynia. In the end, you use it every single day – sometimes even several times per day!

It was one of my problems too. After spotting this, I freed myself from the dry and raw feeling that accompanied me every day.

In this breakdown, I have listed toilet papers that either I or my fellow vulva warriors have tried, and in which I was able to find further precise information about; through the brands’ websites or reviews online.

I haven’t included any virgin toilet papers (papers that are made straight from trees) because first, they always tend to have random chemicals and additives in them, like lotions, fragrances, dyes, etc. And second, they are not environmental friendly.

Recycled toilet paper is a good, environmentally friendly choice to consider when choosing toilet paper for your sensitive v.

Before switching to bamboo toilet paper, recycled and unbleached toilet paper was my main go-to option.

Here are a few essential points to keep in mind when choosing recycled toilet paper as an option for your v:

This Seventh Generation toilet paper is a good eco-friendly choice for your sensitive vulva and vagina. This is 100% recycled paper containing 50% post-consumer and 50% pre-consumer content.

It is bleached with oxygen using the Processed Chlorine-Free (PCS) process – which means that your vulva won’t be exposed to chemicals like dioxins. This toilet paper is hypoallergenic, free from fragrances, perfumes, softeners, chemical irritants, dyes, inks, and formaldehyde.

Even though it might be rougher that virgin toilet paper, the company claims that the paper is created with sensitive skin people in mind. It dissolves very quickly, which is great if you have any plumbing issues.
