Toilet paper is made from virgin wood fibers or from a combination of recycled paper pulp mixed in water with chemical sulfates to help it break down, starches that create wet strength and chemicals to make it white. Virgin fiber toilet paper is made using softwood and hardwood trees.
In respect to this, is reusable toilet paper hygienic?
There’s little information or research studies about the safety, precautions, or cleaning of reusable toilet paper. The major concern isn’t the initial use of reusable toilet paper — it’s the handling and cleaning of the paper afterward.

For those on a septic system, flushing alternative toilet paper may cause even more issues. It may be okay to flush some toilet paper alternatives, such as thin tissue.
