I get it. You’re worried. There’s that weird burn after you pee. It’s uncomfortable! You’ve checked, you’ve tested, everything’s come back normal. No UTI. No yeast infection, no BV. STD Test clear. No new partners (or your regular partner has been ruled out) But still!!! It hurts, or it’s uncomfortable, or whatever.
I promise you should not notice your bits at any random daily moment unless you ACTUALLY have to pee (because you haven’t in a while or you’ve been drinking a lot of water)or you’re horny or there’s something wrong.
Check in with yourself about your toilet paper situation!! Sudden change in your daily comfort at home? The burning coincides with your work schedule? “I just went on vacation and my bits feel weird”? ANY change!
Sensitivity and issues come from everywhere, and what we use daily is the first line of defense. Check in with your daily routine. Check in with what you use. Check in with what’s provided to you!! Find what’s different, the same, what changes… I swear it’s life changing.
(This is the part where I speak from personal experience, so your mileage will vary) Generally, public toilets will feature “thinner” toilet paper varieties - the kind that don’t boast soft and strong and whatever. The thinner stuff has less additives and processing and whatever else makes it “more comfortable”. I almost never have problems in public toilets. But “private” toilets? Yeesh. BYOB (Bring Your Own [sensitive] Baby Wipes). And maybe some toilet paper.
