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

@Sally090807
It's when you wipe your pooey bum and the paper turns to little balls.
I think some folk call them 'Cling-Ons!'

inappropriateraspberry · 29/09/2021 13:59

I thought poo crumbs referred to actual bits of poo?

DroopyClematis · 29/09/2021 14:07

Hmmm... They're usually balled up in paper fibre .
Am prepared to be corrected ; my poo , on its own , doesn't suddenly turn into tiny crumbs.

What a thread , eh?

Interested in this thread?

We only use Andrex at home, have done so for many, many years, usually the one with puppies design or, if not available, any of their other versions as long as it's white.
Last purchase was a new Andrex version I haven't noticed before, it was the only available larger white pack from Andrex in the shop at the time. It wasn't the usual supreme quilts which is quite thick, it's a new design of supreme quilts maybe and perhaps they changed the pattern on it - packaging long gone and I can't remember the exact name but it was indicative of softness in the name.
Well, it's utter shit!!! I never complained to a manufacturer before and every time I use it I want to email Andrex about this but wouldn't know how phrase it politely.
It's sort of fluffier than usual but with small white dusty fluff floating around as soon as you touch it. And some light fluff left behind after wiping which I cannot stand. It's as if not all fibres have been stuck/compressed together properly and loose particles come loose.
Next purchase will hunt around and return to the puppies version - never had an issue.

Also, toilet rolls have definitely become slightly shorter and thinner over the last year and a half.

And here was me thinking my families hygiene was disgusting after lockdown - there is forever bits of loo paper on my bathroom floor 🤢! I just assumed it was the volume of use the loos got with us all home and wondered how it was happening! I need to go and give myself a quick check 🤣

BarefootHippieChick · 29/09/2021 14:15

They're called vajingleberries

I need to start slipping this word into casual sentences 😆

Good grief, have never thought about an inspection of down below things in my life. Maybe because we had to use cut up newspaper in the toilet in the war years, and we might well have had some black newsprint left on our nether regions, and that might have scared us, so we pulled up our big knickers, and got out of the toilet quite quickly, without checking anything.

You need to find some IZAL toilet paper, which is slippy, and doesn't flake up at all. It was a dual purpose paper, for bums, and also used as tracing paper if you did art things, !!!

Yep us too.. I think it's a cheap loo roll thing. I would say seems to be more a lodging in bum issue, but then little rolled up pieces fall onto the floor. We have Tesco own brand as my family go through 900 rolls a week Wink

I’ve started using naked sprout because of this very reason. Also combining it with wype gel - so far so good!

foodanfagsjokiing · 29/09/2021 14:26

Crikey I have had my body for a few decades and never had this problem!I really don't know what to suggest!

Cookerhood · 29/09/2021 14:37

I think it's got worse recently as they use more recycled paper & try to make it break down more quickly to stop drains getting blocked. I certainly don't remember it from years ago. Unless I just didn't notice Grin

hairybakers · 29/09/2021 14:38

My ex called it pussy lint

Yes it happens if I use Charmin, but not with Andrex (or Andrew). Im always on the look out for them though

(After the time my ex came up for air, picking it out of his mouth saying oh I got some of your pussy lint) EnvyEnvy

@Boredhimtodeath

I’m so glad you said it. All these people apparently pretending not to know what on earth the poster was taking about when she said ‘vagina’, as though that wasn’t what EVERYONE called it up until a few years ago even though it may not have been anatomically correct. It really doesn’t make them look as clever as they think it does.

Morrison’s loo roll will end up being left behind. Nicky quilted and Andrex don’t so much.

As a nurse, I can say it happens to everyone, and if you think it doesn’t, maybe wash a bit more carefully.

Porridgealert · 29/09/2021 14:41

@Mariell. Does Andrew come with his own sponge? Or do I have to provide them? 😆

Bobsyer · 29/09/2021 14:42

I use asda shades and never noticed this.

I don’t actually care though - if I’ve never noticed it how much of a problem can it possibly be?

Nat6999 · 29/09/2021 14:43

We use Andrex Classic Clean & don't have this problem, they have just updated the texture pattern & it doesn't break up when damp. The other stuff that has shea butter & other moisturisers just blocks the toilet up.

Nousernameforme · 29/09/2021 14:49

I second waitrose essentials I've not noticed any lint since we switched. I would avoid Nickys as they do a scented variety which can irritate and it's not always clear which ones are scented

The username VelcroVulva is up for grabs!

gogohm · 29/09/2021 14:57

The triple ply lidl loo roll is fine, the cheapo stuff at work is terrible, I actually have roll in my desk drawer just in case I need to you know what

bellabride · 29/09/2021 15:02

Izal paper was wonderful for itchy piles.

IntermittentParps · 29/09/2021 15:13

Happens to me too. I use Cheeky Panda or another fancy eco-brand, can't remember which.
To try to mitigate it I use flushable wipes as well, God forgive me. Although the supposedly biodegrade.

IntermittentParps · 29/09/2021 15:13

@APurpleSquirrel

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.
Thank you. I nearly ordered some the other day but didn't want to end up with 48 rolls of loo paper that give me vulva lint!

As a PP said, I see a lot of vulvas (and their vaginas!) in my job and it's pretty common.
Made me feel better as until then I assumed I just had really fierce public hair. DH didn't understand why I hated his fancy scented (Lidl) loo roll and insisted I was wiping wrong.
Quite looking forward to the post menopausal wilting of the pubes.

cushioncovers · 29/09/2021 20:30

I use Andrex for this reason.

NotMyCat · 29/09/2021 20:40

@RagzReturnsRebooted our boss ordered scented toilet paper "for a change"
For a 75% female team
We told him stories of BV and thrush until he went pale and we got the unscented stuff back. It stunk like air freshener Hmm
