The fucking Aldi toilet paper I've been using for the past 2 weeks is fucking scented! What fresh hell is this?? I only noticed when I blew my nose, why the fuck do we need scented toilet paper?

I know right.....pointless and totally unnecessary

Purplewithred · 10/04/2020 22:38

To match the scented tampons and scented panty Liners so we are always dainty and fresh and ladylike of course. Men don’t like girls who don’t make an effort!

UnfinishedSymphon · 10/04/2020 22:41

I CBA going to check but does it say scented on the packaging?

My work got scented toilet paper. My boss thought it would be "nice"
He goes visibly green at any mention of women's issues so by the time we had spelt it out to him, he was on the computer ordering NOT scented stuff Grin

I accidentally bought coconut loo roll once. We realised because the bathroom smelled a bit like car air freshener.

penisbeakers · 10/04/2020 22:45

Scented anything should not be going anywhere near yer lady garden. I hate scented shit-wrap.

caradelvigna · 10/04/2020 22:47

Scented tampons or sanitary towels are a thing? (Never used them so don't know...). Weird as...

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 10/04/2020 22:47

Ooh I winced at reading that OP!

Hope you have something unscented to use now?

bridgetreilly · 10/04/2020 22:48

YANBU. When I was down to my last roll a couple of weeks ago I had to buy the only kind left in Tesco: infused with shea butter and coconut oil. UGH. And also, OW.

Rose789 · 10/04/2020 22:48

Oh god. Dh got lavender and Shea butter Andrex.. I got thrush
Absolutely no need

UnfinishedSymphon · 10/04/2020 22:51

@ChandlerIsTheBestFriend no! It's all we've got in the soddin house, DP bought 24 rolls of it yesterday 😭

Shock

Oh crap!

Can you get a new pack of loo roll tomorrow?

For tonight I’d be tempted to cut up an old towel or T-shirt and use that dampened with water. (And then bin or wash on hot- your preference) Or kitchen roll but only if you bin it- not put it in the toilet.

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 10/04/2020 22:57

I got a strawberry ones once😂 Not a good smell combo with what usually happens in the toilets😂

HeartshapedFox · 10/04/2020 22:58

Oh god is that actually A Thing now? I stopped buying Always when they went scented and gave me a rash, then I spotted they’ve had the bloody nerve to launch a “sensitive” range, ie. probably just an unscented version at a higher price. Makes me so angry!!
On the plus side, after years using Always I’ve rediscovered Bodyform, which are just as good, as are many of the supermarket brands. Sorry, rant over!

UnfinishedSymphon · 10/04/2020 22:59

@ChandlerIsTheBestFriend I've got some kitchen roll which I'll use (and bag), I just don't understand why anyone would think scented is a good idea!

My dh brought home some smelly toilet paper from the Polish shop. It was awful, as soon as I wiped my fanny it disintegrated up there. But it’s fine, it had a daisy pattern in it Confused

BubblyBluePebbles · 10/04/2020 23:06

Ridiculous! This is exactly why I never gift and hate to receive smelly stuff.
Re. sanitary products - I often have to sniff the box to check if they're scented as it sometimes isn't clear on the packaging.
Was in Tesco sniffing a pantyliner box a few months ago lol. An elderly woman smiled at me and said she does the same. She said her Husband hates it when she does it lool

goingoverground · 10/04/2020 23:07

You only noticed when you blew your nose?!! Are you sure you don't have COVID-19 and have lost your sense of smell? I bought a packet of scented loo roll as it was the last one left and it made my whole house smell like a giant sanitary towel, the same vile chemical scent.

manybirdsnests · 10/04/2020 23:09

YANBU. This stuff is awful.
Recently I accidentally bought some but luckily noticed and donated it to the food bank before I'd opened it. Ugh!

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 10/04/2020 23:11

Why does bog roll need to be scented? Do they think it's going to cover up the poo smells? Because even if you put aside the skin irritating issues that's not going to work, you just get an overlayer of weird chemical ick.

Olinguito · 10/04/2020 23:12

During the great toilet roll shortage I could only get some that said it included a probiotic - can't imagine how that is supposed to work.

MacRedsocks · 10/04/2020 23:13

Why does your fanny need a probiotic?!

caradelvigna · 10/04/2020 23:13

Apparently you can buy CBD infused tampons now too 😁

Shoppingwithmother · 10/04/2020 23:14

Oh god, I feel your pain - literally. I started a thread on this subject a few weeks ago. I bought Andrea Skin Kind toilet roll. I thought it would be good as I have sensitive skin. I never in a million years would have thought it would be fucking perfumed. It doesn’t say anywhere in the front of the packaging or in any of the guff where it goes on about how it protects sensitive skin. It just says “parfum” as the last ingredient in tiny letters.

Why does any toilet paper need to be bloody perfumed? Why????!!!!

DramaAlpaca · 10/04/2020 23:15

At work someone bought the scented stuff by mistake. By the end of the day our mostly female staff were complaining. It promptly got replaced. The scented stuff might've made its way into the gents' toilet so it didn't get wasted Wink
