Why Colored Toilet Paper Disappeared

Why Colored Toilet Paper Disappeared

The first colored TP appeared in the 1950s, when decorating your bathroom in a single style was a thing. Toilet paper producers started dyeing their products in all possible colors so that people could complete the image of their bathrooms. The popularity of colored toilet paper reached its peak by 1970s, but sometime around the 1980s, personal hygiene shelves became gradually whiter, and by 2004 all color disappeared completely…

    I don’t actually know why Indians use the water instead of t.p, but I can tell you why do we have a special tap or bottle almost in every toilets of Uzbekistan(Central Asia). As toilet paper is dry material, it can never replace the water, and can never serve you as water does. As being muslim,it is really important to be clean,so washing your appropriate part, can be more useful and easier than entering to bathroom,and having a shower!
    Nowadays,we have both taps(bottles) and toilet p.s.(you can first use the paper, if you don’t want to touch the nastiness,and then wash it with the tap water, in order to be enough clean).
    ⭐️And it is not true that we don’t greet others with the
    left hand because we use it to clean our “…..”,and b-se it’s dirty all the time🙅🏻‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️No! it’s never dirty, as muslims always wash both of their hands after doing that “job”(even if she/he didn’t touch any nasty substance)!!!

    India use water spray

    In short, it’s white because there weren’t safety regulations concerning colors at that time, so people stopped buying them because of possibile toxic substances used. Also, it wasn’t environmentally friendly; it does not dissolve in water in the same rate as the white one. The video shows also what people used before instead of toilet papers. They used reusable sponges (yikes), stones, leaves, and surprisingly, an eaten corn.

    I still don’t know how to use the three seashells.



  6. @avival66 on February 28, 2024 at 5:53 am

    I live in Panama and we have everything…but i think its bether to use white so you can see clearly if your bleeding or diferent colors in your poo… In case of helth problems 😆in colord TP it can be hard to see clearly espetialy blood. 😞

  12. @Paranormalin416 on February 28, 2024 at 6:03 am

    It’s a miracle our species survived this long! Remind me to never go to India, gross! I’m a guy with Crohn’s disease, with only 5% of my intestine left after 37 operations, so I go through toilet paper like there’s no tomorrow! I won’t go anywhere that doesn’t have any! One more point you’d forgot to mention, the best thing about toilet paper being white is that if there’s something wrong in your G.I. tract, you’ll be able to see it on the toilet paper, especially if you’re bleeding, which was the case for me. I first discovered I had Crohn’s disease because I saw a lot of blood on the toilet paper, if I was using red toilet paper I never would’ve known!



  13. @someoneextravagant3867 on February 28, 2024 at 6:04 am

    I’m Thailand, there’s also pink toilet paper but mostly is white. 🙂



  14. @JamesKing-lw1xp on February 28, 2024 at 6:04 am

    Toilet paper really is only white nowadays in most places in most stores in the United States. Maybe online and in other countries and in the past not so much. Weird but cool 😎. I want pink toilet 🚽 paper now and a bidet.

    Its cost more to color it, plus peoples backsides might be "sensitive" towards the ingredients in the dye…. oops sorry should’ve watch the video first.

    OK, when traveling to India, bring your own toilet paper. Any color, it’s still better than a bucket or a hose.
