Why does skin irritation occur after using the toilet?

Skin irritation after toilet use is a common problem. It can be caused by several factors, such as sensitive skin, using rough toilet paper or medical conditions. This can cause discomfort and affect your daily life.

“Many people don't realize that the way you cleanse yourself after using the toilet has a huge impact on your skin health.”

Causes of skin irritation when using the toilet

Rough toilet paper

Many types of toilet paper contain coarse fibers or irritants such as perfumes, which can cause redness, chafing, and discomfort.

Excessive use of toilet paper

Rubbing too often and too hard with toilet paper can cause minor injuries, leading to irritation and sometimes even infections.

Insufficient hygiene

Any residual urine or feces that are not completely removed can irritate the skin and cause inflammation.

Medical conditions

People with conditions such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures or eczema are extra susceptible to skin irritation when using the toilet.

How do you prevent skin irritation?

Use a bidet

A bidet, such as the Royal Bidet V2 , is one of the most effective ways to prevent skin irritation. A bidet cleans with water, which is gentler and more thorough than toilet paper. This reduces friction and provides a fresh, clean feeling.

Choose the right toilet paper

Use soft, unscented toilet paper to prevent irritation. Avoid products with added fragrances or dyes.

Hydrate the skin

After using the toilet, apply an unscented moisturizing cream to soothe and protect the skin.

Stay dry

Moisture can aggravate skin irritation. Gently pat skin dry instead of rubbing.

Limit toilet paper use

Try to use less toilet paper and combine this with moist wipes that are specifically intended for intimate use. Choose biodegradable wipes to prevent blockages.

A bidet provides a gentle and hygienic way to cleanse your skin after using the toilet. With a simple push of a button, the Royal Bidet V2 provides a thorough cleansing with water, minimizing the need for toilet paper. This is especially ideal for people with sensitive skin.
