I have had vaginal issues off and on for the last few months and I finally clued in to the tp Purex don't use it!!!!
The following is a peer-reviewed medical case study citing that bleached toilet paper that is higher in quality can cause such symptoms. http://m.cfp.ca/content/56/4/350.full
I know for a fact that I am allergic to Charmin. I've known this for years. I of course do not buy it for home use. But if I am staying at someone's home who uses Charmin or most recently it is now in the restroom at my work - I then have the reaction after a couple of days use. I get lacerations on my labia that look as though I was cut with a razor blade. It is painful and I need to use antibiotic ointment or vaseline to keep the area protected and comfortable until it heals. And of course I now need to take my own TP to work with me or else this irritation will continue.
Interesting. I read that the cheaper brands are better and for me Charmin is my trigger for a flare up!
Yes! I'm having issues with the lint from Cottonelle. My husband does the shopping and I asked him to get another brand. My irritation cleared up. He forgets and buys cottonelle again and irritation returns. He forgets about every other time. No sympathy! ;-)
I'm severely allergic to aloe, and some of the other chemicals they use to make most toilet papers. it's very hard to find any that are just basic and made without harsh chemicals. Charmin had one that only had virgin wood pulp and some type of glue to hold the fibers together, Charmin Basic, and that worked fine for me. Now they have discontinued it and replaced it with Charmin Essentials, and I can't use it. It is thicker and softer, and even though they said it only has wood pulp and glue in it, there is something else they aren't disclosing to me. Most consumers want to get back to the basic products without all the chemicals and additives that can be harmful. Who needs formaldehyde and bleach in their toilet paper? And who knows what else. I've had to go to using soft cotton flannel fabric that I cut into small squares, wash and re-use. At least until I'm lucky enough to find something that I don't react severely to.
That's interesting. After treating three "yeast infections", I think it may be the toilet paper - Kirkland Costco brand. I've been using it for about six months. Now I'm switching - but to what??
You are a 100%right. Same with Charmin Basic
Thanks. Will try Doyle, Costco Kirkland and CvS brand. I have supplied neighbor with enough to last s year with ones \I cannot use. Seventh Generation I tried. 1 ply, pricrey, and smelled perfumy. Itched and shot pain up through body. Family and I have many symptons of allergies.
Someone, please help sufferers and realize it is what is toxic in toilet paper.
Let what worked alone. Money isn't everything...

Thankyou now I know
Kirkland is also bad. That's how it all started for me.
That's me. Doctors told me it can be toilet paper. Thanks for the reviews. But now I don't know what to yous.
Thank you Diana My problem is not itching I'm burning like I have an Infection , I'm on antibotics often and I'm on them now that's how I know that it's the TP that is causing the burning . I don't know what to do , I have been treated for an infection a lot this year and now I think it's been the TP all along.I don't go to the Doctor every time I burn I call the Dr and they will call me an antibotic .
Yes! I got a rash from Scott toilet paper. I realized it because I bought one roll and when I used it a rash developed, rash disappeared when I used a different brand. No doubt it was the Scott brand that caused the rash.
Some TP brands contain formaldehyde. When I was told to avoid brands with formaldehyde, that solved my problem. When paper is being made, it is wet before it dries and is ready to be sold. Mold can form when it is wet, so some brands use formaldehyde to prevent mold growth. I can smell the formaldehyde in Scott brands of TP or tissues, so I don't use it.
