The toilet paper that gynecologists recommend is plain, white and unscented toilet paper which minimizes irritation.
Gynecologists also recommend that you avoid ultra soft or ultra strong varieties of toilet paper.
The brands of toilet paper that gynecologists recommend are 7 Generation toilet paper, Angel Soft toilet paper and Scott Toilet paper.
You want to use the basic and minimally processed toilet paper and look for the toilet papers that have no aloe Vera, added dyes or added fragrances which can be irritating to skin.
When cleaning your vagina or wiping your bottom you should gently pat your vagina dry and you can also use a hair dryer on the cool setting to dry the area.
Gently pat the area dry instead of wiping vigorously and opt for standard toilet paper instead of ultra strong and ultra soft toilet papers.
Certain ingredients in toilet paper, such as fragrances, dyes, and harsh chemicals, may irritate sensitive skin and disrupt the natural balance of flora and pH in intimate areas.
This irritation can increase the likelihood of yeast overgrowth.
