Today, toilet paper is an essential product we cannot imagine without. However, this is not the best solution, on several levels. Let's take a look at 4 reasons why it's better without it and how to replace it.

Toilet paper is not environmentally friendly. While the purchase cost of toilet paper is not high, the same cannot be said for its ecological cost. In our time, a person uses a hundred rolls of toilet paper a year, which costs around 20 to over 80 euros per year. Every year, no less than 10 million trees are felled for toilet paper production. In addition to deforestation, we must also increase the cost of water and the use of polluting chemicals that make toilet paper.

Toilet paper is irritating to the skin. Toilet paper is often rinsed with chlorine to render it white. This product is very irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. The most sensitive people may even experience inflammation or skin problems from using toilet paper. Anal fissures and hemorrhoids can also be caused by excessive use of toilet paper.

By wiping, you spread germs. It can spread germs from the anus by not wiping it off with a towel after a big job. This is a problem that can lead to urinary tract infections in women. 

Too thick toilet paper can clog the toilet. Choose extra-thick toilet paper, or even using too much at one time can lead to clogged drains. The pulsating water spray system in the toilet is the most hygienic solution when using the toilet.

For more comfort, you can turn to an electric toilet seat or an integrated electric toilet. These offer hot water wash, dry, massage programs, deodorization and many more high-tech options for you to explore!
