Question 1: What is wet toilet paper? Can you use a wet towel instead of wiping your farts?
Although called paper, wet toilet paper is not paper. Strictly speaking, it is a kind of wet towel. It is a product specially designed for toilet use scenarios, which can more thoroughly clean feces, menstrual blood and other pollutants.
You can't use wet wipes to wipe your farts. First of all, the positioning of these two products is different, and there are also some differences in product characteristics. After the wet toilet paper is wiped, the water attached to the skin needs to be able to volatilize quickly, so as to ensure the dryness around the anus, otherwise it is easier to breed bacteria.
There are many kinds of wet wipes. Some contain alcohol, and some kitchen wet wipes contain special cleaning factors. Wet wipes containing these special ingredients are not suitable for cleaning sensitive skin farts. Even the wipes used for skin cleaning often contain moisturizing ingredients, so the water is not easy to volatilize. Therefore, even if you use wet wipes to wipe your farts in an emergency, you should also use dry toilet paper to wipe off residual liquid as soon as possible to avoid skin discomfort caused by prolonged dampness.
In addition, the raw materials and processes for making wet wipes and wet toilet paper are also different. Wet toilet paper is made of wood pulp fiber and viscose fiber through wet spunlace nonwoven process, most of which are washable. The raw materials of wet wipes include polyester fiber and polypropylene fiber, which are not easy to disperse. Therefore, wet wipes cannot be directly thrown into the toilet, otherwise it is easy to cause toilet blockage.
Q2: Can I use wet toilet paper to wipe my mouth?
This question should be answered from the perspective of whether the ingredients of wet toilet paper are safe. The composition of wet toilet paper mainly involves two aspects - substrate and liquid composition. At present, the base material used for wet toilet paper is spunlace nonwovens, and its raw materials are mainly wood pulp and viscose fiber. These two kinds of raw materials come from plants widely distributed in nature, which are biodegradable, renewable, and environmentally friendly.
The liquid components of wet toilet paper mainly include water and active extracts (providing moisturizing, skin soothing and other functions). Some products will add surfactants (enhancing the cleaning effect). These liquid ingredients in the product should meet the national standards and will not cause adverse irritation and allergic reaction to skin and mucous membrane.
Although it is no problem to wipe your hands or face with wet toilet paper from the perspective of substrate and liquid composition, it is not recommended to wipe your mouth with wet toilet paper. First, hand and mouth wet wipes that contact the mouth should pass the oral toxicity test, and wet toilet paper will not do this generally; Second, the use environment of the two is different, and can not be generalized.
Q3: How to choose wet toilet paper products?
The purchase of wet toilet paper products can be considered from several perspectives. First, see if the product can be dispersed. The washable wet toilet paper is mostly made of degradable cellulose fiber, which is more environmentally friendly. During the purchase process, it is mainly to see whether the outer package of the product has the words or signs such as "can be thrown into the toilet" and "can be washed away". If the outer package of the product has the words or signs above, it can be directly thrown into the toilet after use. However, it should be noted that even if the "washable" wet toilet paper is marked, it may cause blockage in actual operation. It is recommended not to throw two pieces of wet toilet paper in at one time.
Next, look at the liquid composition. The choice of wet toilet paper should be based on pure water. At the same time, it can also be selected according to different needs. For example, a manufacturer has launched a special wet toilet paper for women's private parts or menstrual care. This kind of product has passed the vaginal mucosa test, and its pH is close to that of women's vaginal environment. It is weak acidic, which reduces skin irritation and is more suitable for women to use. Some wet toilet papers contain skin specific active extracts that soothe the skin. In addition, the wet toilet paper itself is soft and comfortable, suitable for hemorrhoids patients.
Finally, look at the post-processing technology of wet toilet paper. After meeting the first two items, the problem of using the purchased wet toilet paper is almost gone. For a better use experience, you can choose wet toilet paper with treated surface. The current practice of some manufacturers is the embossing treatment of wet toilet paper, so as to provide sufficient cleaning power when wiping.
