The Real Scandal Of Toilet Paper
Millions of Americans take the paper out of their pockets every day. So comfortable, so convenient, and it’s so innocent, isn’t it?

These unintended consequences can affect your health and the environment. Curious? Keep reading to learn the ugly truth and get a peek at a greener, more sustainable alternative: the bidet.
What’s Under Your Toilet Paper?
You may believe that toilet paper is only paper, but chemicals in its production add serious health risks. The most notorious culprits:
- BPA (Bisphenol A): Used in recycled toilet paper, BPA is a chemical known to cause hormonal imbalances and other health problems. https://www.naturopathy-uk.com/news/blog/2023/01/13/is-your-toilet-paper-toxic/
- EPA (Environmental Persistent Pollutants): They leave their imprints on the air, and perhaps even your body, in the long term. https://time.com/6259819/pfas-found-in-toilet-paper/
- Bleach and Chlorine: These substances are often used to bleach toilet paper, causing dioxins that have been linked to immune and reproductive problems. https://bimbamboopaper.com/blogs/beyond-the-roll/chlorine-bleach-in-toilet-paper?srsltid=AfmBOorFEfUE_j-Jd_qzFRznUwT8OlyoPyyasvFifkFBJSTccky0k55U&utm
Not only are these add-ins harmful to you. They also destroy nature, from water contamination to inert trash. We have to reengineer the way we wash up.
Does This Story Sound Familiar?
Meet Sarah, a two-times-healthy mom with an unwavering commitment to healthy living. She converted to organic foods, got rid of toxins in her home, and began going through the motions of recycling. And she left behind one item, though: her toilet roll. Sarah had been irritated by the skin repeatedly, and some research turned up that her toilet paper might be contaminated with bleach and BPAs. She switched to a bidet and not only did her irritation disappear, she felt better that she was doing the right thing. You too can, like Sarah, control what you allow in your body.
