About perfumed toilet paper?

Just wanted to know people’s opinions - are many people allergic/sensitive to perfumed toilet paper?

Also, would you expect that a toilet paper marketed in the UK as particularly kind to skin and helps avoid irritation to sensitive skin, would be likely to be perfumed?

Just wanted some people’s thoughts as I have recently had a problem and wanted to check whether IABU!

It's like scented sanitary pads...what's the point!

Who. is. sniffing. it??????Envy

This one doesn’t mention anywhere on the front of the pack that it is perfumed. There is just a tiny ingredients box on the back and the last ingredient says “parfum.”

Thank you OP! I've had terrible itching and irritation for a good few days, no discharge at all so don't think it's thrush as such. Just realised it's coincided with the Andrex skin kind I bought a week ago!

It looks so nice and ripply and cushiony and soothing as well - very deceptive!

Might as well wipe with sandpaper for all the irritation scented or lotion paper gives you!

It's dreadful and pointless stuff, and I doubt the perfume is particularly environmentally friendly.

I mean, the entire function and purpose of toilet paper is that it gets covered in excrement. What the fuck is the point of perfuming it?

I once had a strawberry oneGrin

We use plain white recycled toilet paper only in this house. And plain sanpro only.

I want perfume nowhere near my genitalia, thanks.

We got scented loo roll at work and I got my first ever UTI
Manager thought he had been nice by ordering it, halfway through my description of women and thrush he was backing away and promised never to buy it again Grin

It doesn't affect me but I don't get the point of it. If you're wiping a shitty arse, your bum isn't going to smell like the scent of the roll afterwards.

Another one that gets raging cystitis with scented loo roll, see also sanitary towels, and anything that goes in the bath (salts, oil and bubbles). I've now discovered lube sets me off too. If anyone with a super sensitive fanjita can recommend one that doesn't cause razor blades to shoot out of my urethra I'd appreciate it

It is important that my arse is as sweet-smelling as it possibly can be.

Graphista · 01/03/2020 18:58

Omg yes!

I too cannot use scented or coloured paper. Anyone got suggestions what to say to the driver when it’s a sub in your shopping?

I’ve not come up with a good excuse yet and I’m afraid I come off as a fussy bugger! But it’s really pointless me paying for something I can’t use!

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 01/03/2020 19:18

Can’t see the point of it myself, not unless it would make poo smell of verdant summer meadows.
We buy mega-packs of Asda white Shades.

I bought two massive packs of Andrex Aloe Vera as it was on offer. I was shocked to find it's perfumed. What is the point?

4DrivetPrive · 01/03/2020 20:04

The Tesco coconut one smells so sickly just having it in the bathroom gave me a horrible headache. No idea why DP wanted a malibu arse but it made him itchy and I wasn't willing to risk using it.

Why normal human smells are supposedly so offensive risking horrible burning ladyparts is fine I don't know. How shameful having natural bodily functions. Hmm

They’d never deliver again! They don’t wanna hear that about a 47 year old greying minge!
