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

You're not doing it properly love.

I use Andrex for this reason.
Andrex exclusive in our house and sadly not all up to standard on my last purchase.

Tesco toilet roll is terrible for doing this!

tintodeverano2 · 29/09/2021 22:02

We always buy andrex quilted and it's recently been changed and now is terrible for this! I keep finding little bits of paper down "there" and all over the bathroom floor.

@IntermittentParps

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.
They don't biodegrade. The packaging says they are flushable, but that's the last place they should go as they clog drains terribly. If you use wipes, at least put them in the bin.

Very pleased to find this thread - I have been noticing bits of loo roll around my undercarriage for quite a while, and on the bathroom floor. It never used to happen. I buy Sainsbury's own brand quilted stuff and it's pretty poor quality these days, comes apart very inconveniently.

I must say that it’s a relief to know that this is a “thing”, and not just some increasing defect in my bits as they approach middle age Grin

Ok, incase anyone is interested (I hate it when the OP doesn't return with an update, and by now I also feel like I owe all you honest and generous women a public service!)...I've trialled a few brands. On suggestion I tried andrex, quilted and regular...both very disappointingly dusty. Then, on my mission, I came across a brand called Regina Seriously Strong and can report not a scrap of lint. It's a vulva miracle.

I now have too many useless toilet rolls (next time you see someone buying in bulk, don't assume they're panic buying, they could just have a dust vag...) but happy that my problem is fixed Smile

@1forAll74

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, !!!

Memories......🤣🤣
Cally62 · 30/09/2021 18:11

Don't have a problem with the quilted rolls...think it's the thin stuff that leaves the bits.

Labia Mache. Grin

YanTanTetheraPetheraPimp · 30/09/2021 18:13

I must admit I hate with a vengeance the dust deposited everywhere from loo rolls. Surely it can’t be that difficult to make a lint-free, soft, absorbent toilet paper?

Maassi · 30/09/2021 18:15

OP- vagina is the inside bit (where a tampon goes) and vulva is the outside bit ya wipe Grin

@grey12

It's very easy to install a douche to the water pipe of the toilet. It's a game changer!!! Wink
Is cold water a shock to the system? Really want one Smile
FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 30/09/2021 20:01

I noticed this in the shower. I could not understand why I kept finding little balls of paper when I rinsed the floor. I use Andrex gentle clean. Obviously my fanny eats that for breakfast.

I’m pondering if my medical notes include code words for linty fanny. Oh dear god I hope not.

I didn't even know it was a thing until I saw a meme talking about it, showed my partner and he agreed and said pretty much every women's vagina he had seen always had little bits of toilet paper on it, it's a thing men understand and just don't bring up

Sure sure. I always refer to men when it comes to learning about my body, thank god for them eh?

Is this the standard recycled stuff or the bamboo one?

As a lesbian I agree with him though. I would have no idea if it was happening to me but I’ve seen it in multiple women.

It’s obviously a bit of a mood killer and you wouldn’t want to embarrass anyone so, like he said, you don’t bring it up (with most people, with the right ones you do).

Etonmessisyum · 01/10/2021 08:12

I recently bought Andrex and find it irritates me and does the same, I don’t like it. I tend to stick to Tesco quilted mentioned to boyfriend and he said he felt the same. 9 rolls later we used them up so need to get some more. No chance of perfumed stuff I get itchy thinking about it tbh.

ClemDanFango · 01/10/2021 08:14

Clitty litter. The struggle is real. The people pretending to not know what you mean because you said vag instead of Vulva 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

I use the Regina Softis but Regina is the business. I did mention it in in the first 100 posts somewhere. Definitely the only one to use. It is just brilliant stuff!
