Wait, Can Toilet Paper Cause Yeast Infections?

Tune in for the wild TikTok story that thousands of women are resonating with.

“For the past year or so,” TikTok user and sexual health educator, Jeneka Jool, has been “experiencing chronic yeast infections,” she shared on the app.

Eager to get to the bottom of the “itching and scratching” Jool began to adjust her daily schedule. From sleep habits to regulating her sugar intake, the sexual health educator changed a majority of her lifestyle. She even questioned her partner, wondering if he was responsible for her changing body chemistry. But alas, the “itching became too intense,” and she yearned “for a distraction.”

She opted for typing over scratching and “stumbled upon a Reddit thread full of thousands of women and vagina owners.” Each person reported chronic yeast infections, aka a minimum of four infections a year.

What was the common thread amongst each of these people? Toilet paper. After changing her toilet paper, she was fully relieved of all symptoms within three weeks. “Nary an itch,” she closed.
