Charmin Toilet Paper

CHARMIN IS STRAIGHT AWFUL PLEASE NEVER USE IT!
There are women on here straight lying who say it is good, and I
question THEIR HYGIENE INSTEAD.
I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL I USED CHARMIN
I am 25 and have never had a yeast infection or any other problems,
and monitored my side effects from the toilet paper with common sense
analyses.
The texture of the toilet paper is AWFUL
It breaks apart in the personal area, leaving a TON OF PIECES OF
TOILET PAPER WHETHER YOU ARE MALE OR FEMALE ALL UP IN YOUR PARTS
The texture also irritates the private areas and causes redness and
even abrasions from rubbing the private areas due to Charmin's lack of
ability to absorb urine or fecal matter. All the person feels is
softness, but is completely deceived. In this case soft is not better,
when the consequences of this cheap product hurts people.
The reason why people are getting the redness, and "cuts/abrasions" is
because Charmin is NOT ABSORBENT.
Therefore, the person using it is very discouraged and confused
thinking their is something wrong with them.
Charmin also adds things to their paper, like bleach, do your research
before debating this in your ignorance. And only truth can say what
else they add to their paper, and HOW THEY GOT AWAY WITH THIS FOR SO
LONG.

It is the Charmin! I used the charmin 4 months ago and for the life of
me I did not understand why I had and itch everyday. It felt like a
yeast infection but only in my vagina area and outside of it to the
point that it started to crack and bleed. This was so bad. I finally
place the 2 together it was the Charmin! My daughter had this as well
and she is 5! Then I took some benydryl and stoped as well as stoping
the Charmin use.

As others have mentioned, if you're reacting this quickly to using
Charmin, then it's highly unlikely it's a yeast infection and more
likely an allergy. See a doctor for treatment and STOP USING IT!

Sorry but I think you have bigger issues and its not the TP. I would
see my Gyno STAT! If you are getting frequent YI's then there is more
going on "down there" then toilet paper can cause.

Ohh and if you even THINK that the TP was causing then why in the name
of God would you use it again?

If you use any kind of body wash, or bubble bath, those can cause
problems too. My Mother can't use any of those things, or she gets
bad UTI's. I don't think it's the Charmin.

The only way you can prove this is by taking an unopened pack of this
toilet paper to an independent lab and have them do yeast cultures in
their lab using that paper.

Likely they will find nothing. Likely this is a personal hygiene
issue.

What are you using to wash with down there? You could be sensitive to
the dyes and perfumes in it.

Also, try wiping front to back.

Do you douche? Douching is not recommended by any GYN doctor that I
know of.

On the directions it says that if symptoms don't improve or return
after use then see a doctor.

Are you overgrown or do you trim? Long hair can cause irritation and
cause itching, and if you itch it it will get worse.

Have you changed washing detergent or fabric softener lately.

Using a lot of bleach can cause irritation. My mom had this problem
when I was a kid.

There are a lot of things that can cause problems down there, but if
this is happening this often, I suggest seeing a doctor, there may be
some problems that lie under the surface.

My former MIL used to get yeast infections if she used any TP other
than Scott. So she made sure that was all she purchased. Perhaps you
should think about changing brands as well.

There's no way they'll reimburse you as it can't really be
definitively proven that their TP is giving you a yeast infection.

Charmin makes some great TP, softest stuff around for wiping down
there imo.

Angel Soft on the other hand...maybe should change the second part of
their name...

And Cottonelle needs stronger, rip-free paper. Their entry rips too
easy when you wipe...

"I would like to be reimbursed for the money I have spent curing my
infections, and for my time and suffering"

That's not going to happen.

if you're having multiple infections, it may be more than your TP at
play.

I would suggest visiting
http://women.webmd.com/tc/vaginal-yeast-infections-topic-overview to
research what causes a yeast infection.


and note the following excerpts from the page


1) Many women have infections that come back. If you have more than
four yeast infections in a year, see your doctor. He or she may do
some tests to see if your yeast infections are being caused by another
health problem, such as diabetes.


2) When something happens to change the balance of these organisms,
yeast can grow too much and cause symptoms. Taking antibiotics
sometimes causes this imbalance. The high estrogen levels caused by
pregnancy or hormone replacement therapy can also cause it. So can
certain health problems, like diabetes or HIV infection.

3) Can vaginal yeast infections be prevented?
You can prevent yeast infections by making sure that your genital area
stays as dry as possible and can "breathe." For example:

- Wear cotton, not nylon, underwear, and avoid tight-fitting pants and
panty hose.
- Change out of a wet swimsuit right away.
- Avoid douches and feminine sprays, scented toilet paper, and
deodorant tampons.




also, if you are sexually active, make sure your partner is examined
as well. An untreated partner can reintroduce the fungus back into
your body.

----------------------

the only time that personal allergy would win a lawsuit is when it's
becasue of an ingredient not listed. Like a candy bar not saying it
has nuts in it. I guess if the tp was advertised as dye/fragrance free
but actually had one or both in it then it would qualify but I doubt
that is the case here.

Please please see a dr. Recurrent yeast infections can be a sign of
something more serious going on in your body. While it may seem like
there is a connection between the paper and the infections you just
can not know for sure. You really should talk with a professional
about this.

Seriously?????

But in all reality, you need to see a Dr. because you have a much
bigger issue if you get infections that easily.

I can't see them honoring your request. I agree with the others - just
don't use that brand.

O.M.G. STOP USING IT.

And I assure you, 99% of public restrooms are not spluring on Charmin,
so it's not from public restrooms.

Why do you keep buying it if you get an infection from it? More than
likely you are allergic to the scent or dye they use. I don't see how
they are responsible for your allergy.

I suggest seeing your doctor to make sure there are no other
underlying conditions causing your problem.

This is my first post ever, but I couldn't let this one go. First, I
have never ever in my 51 years had a yeast infection, and I have used
Charmin my whole life. Second, why on earth would you continue to use
Charmin if this happens to you? Not that I at all think Charmin has
anything to do with your issue, but if you think it does, stop using
it. And expecting them to pay for your medical bills...that's just
ridiculous.
