Toilet paper that doesn't leave lint in your vagina!

Anyone else have this issue?! I recently bought a brand that is particularly bad and it can end up looking like someone has thrown confetti down there (tmi!) I can pick it out but I'm lookin for a brand that doesnt do this. Any recommendations? I don't want to use any thing scented or flushable wipes

@Shannith

What???? I have never ever noticed this. My vulva must be anti static.

But apparently I should use a mirror and have a look and all men notice this??

What does it get caught on?

Are your vulvas made of Velcro?

It's not so much it gets caught, it's more like it disintegrates and you get little bits of wet tissue Like when you leave a tissue in the washing machine!

I'd never noticed 'lint' before but have done since giving birth a few weeks ago. Obviously I've had heavy bleeding so I think it might be when the tissue gets oversaturated.

@BarefootHippieChick mariell is Andrew ever loaned out at all?. Honestly we don’t want to be SHARING Andrews! That’s just unsanitary.

I don’t get the loo roll lint, so it must be brand or technique specific….

Interested in this thread?

The comments 🤣🤣

But yes, I also have this problem!

Andrex quilted here. Thinner brands do do this.

SheABitSpicyToday · 29/09/2021 12:59

Yes as someone who has seen a lot of vaginas through work, most women get this. Your vulva and contains a lot of folds and it’s moist. The tissues disintegrates a bit and you get the little rolled up white balls of paper lodged in there.

They’re called vajingleberries.

APurpleSquirrel · 29/09/2021 13:02

Yep happened to me too.
Aldi Quilted is good. But after the Toilet Roll Shortage of 2020 we have moved to Who Gives A Crap.
Tried their standard recycled ones & they were awful for this. Now use their Bamboo Premium ones & they're fab. No pilling or disintegration.

@SheABitSpicyToday wins the thread.

Staryflight445 · 29/09/2021 13:03

It really gets to me when people call it a vagina when they actually mean a vulva. @Saisong

Ellarain · 29/09/2021 13:05

Aldi is fine. I don't like Andrex, too thick and it can block the toilet (kids)

Happenchance · 29/09/2021 13:05

They’re called vajingleberries Thanks @SheABitSpicyToday, I was looking for a new username. I never expected to find inspiration for one in my vulva mind Grin

SinoohXaenaHide · 29/09/2021 13:08

Andrex quilted or Waitrose Cashmere. The phenomenon you describe is particularly bad with recycled and with cheaper products so buying expensive and non-eco-friendly is the way to a comfortable fanny area.

Redyellowpink · 29/09/2021 13:08

Thanks everyone and for all the comments Grin
Especially this:
I can't believe someone else had admitted this....only on mumsnet would I!

So it seems the consensus is andrex or who gives a crap....and also that it only happens to some people. Mine is more of an 'outie' than an 'innie' vulva (larger labia) maybe that makes a difference?

The WGAC recycled stuff is particularly awful for falling apart. I cancelled and told them why and they sent me a free box of the bamboo stuff which was really nice. Their IT sucks, though. I've tried and tried to opt out of their emails and have ended up putting a spam filter on.

@PlaidMaid

Ahh I have this - thought maybe I had pubes like barbed wire! It is a recent-ish problem, maybe toilet roll quality has gone downhill overall? Will try some of these recommendations!
Me too and a relatively recent thing! - initially I thought it must be that my vulva had got more “frilly” since having DD, if you know what I mean! Then I noticed it was definitely correlated with the type of loo paper. Some paper seems to crumble and she’d into tiny balls of fluff - also around the floor which I hate. I find the more robust recycled papers better for not doing that.
foxgoosefinch · 29/09/2021 13:12

shed, not she’d!

JonSnowedUnder · 29/09/2021 13:15

That shiny horrible paper we used to use at my primary in the 90's would solve the problem. It was like baking paper! No absorbing properties at all but no lint!

DroopyClematis · 29/09/2021 13:22

I heard recently that toilet paper is supposed to be thinner now due to pipe/sewer clogging, hence why all these " fajangleberries" that a pp brilliantly called them.
Alas we call them poo crumbs as there are always little crumbs after poo wiping .

Boredhimtodeath · 29/09/2021 13:29

It’s worse after nights out because pub toilet toll is always so much worse. I recommend at least a sink wash if you bring a “friend” home!

LizBennet · 29/09/2021 13:31

PMSL at Andrew 😂

Sally090807 · 29/09/2021 13:36

@Mariell

Andrex.

We don’t have a person called Andrew who we wipe ourselves on.

Well, maybe if we win the lottery we will.

😂😂😂😂😂😂, that made me laugh out loud.

Andrew sounds like a Charmin guy.

This is one of the best comments i have ever read on here. Grin

@bg21

I don't understand this at all 😳 what are you doing with the toilet paper?
😬

Just dab don't rub.
