Some mothers use toilet paper instead of diapers to pad their babies' bottoms. They find it convenient and hygienic and do not need to repeatedly scrub the diapers, and can prevent germ infections.

In the market, although some toilet paper contains pharmaceutical ingredients, it has a health care effect. However, no matter how fine the production process is, it cannot completely remove the residual caustic soda and other alkaline substances in the paper, nor can it completely remove the bleaching agent and other chemical substances with different oxidation levels in the paper. Although these substances are not high in concentration and generally do not have obvious toxic and side effects to adults, for newborn babies with thin skin and tender flesh, the corrosive or irritating effect cannot be ignored.
