When I go to people’s houses, their toilet paper area never seems to have as much of that goddamn dust all over the place. Is it my toilet paper? I swear even when I clean, there’s a film of that stuff that comes up all over the toilet and behind the toilet. Am I doing something wrong?
Edit: I have a bidet. You still need to dry your ass and vulva with a bidet. Guests still want toilet paper. Now I’m more concerned - do y’all not have toilet paper just because you have a bidet?? It’s not safe to leave your ass moist!
Sounds like it’s a brand issue though but my partner is unwilling to switch from the ultra soft whatever we have so I guess I’m SOL.
I’ve never had toilet paper like that. I buy supermarket own brand stuff here in the UK. Even when I’ve bought cheap stuff I’ve not had that issue.
Switch to a different brand. The paper they’re using is bad of it’s flaking off all the time.
You’re probably buying ultra soft fluffy cloud nothing but air toilet paper. You’re also probably not using a bidet.
Everyone wipes down their bathrooms before company comes over, and lives with a layer of TP dust and pubes the rest of the time.
I’ve never seen this.
I lick it clean every morning. Isn’t that what everyone does?
I do lines of TP
Dogs. I let my 12 dogs do the licking.
I plead guilty to laziness.
Get out, don’t forget to wipe
Okay some people are answering with Bidet as a solution, which makes no sense (you are not going to hose down the bathroom are you?)
A photo could be useful in diagnosis, but maybe not. It could be the TP brand, it could also be regular dust since you mention it gets behind the toilet seat too.
Are you near a window? The worst cases of dust in the bathrooms that I’ve seen were caused by debris from the window. It doesn’t even need to be a large window. My money is on the TP brand from the sounds of it
I have a bidet with toilet paper to dry off/for guests/for various other uses for toilet paper.
Not near a window and the dust is thicker and primarily builds up below the toilet paper roll and on the holder. It’s not the same as regular dust build up. I mitigate by placing the bin under the roll but it still gets everywhere.
It’s hard to get a picture but this is the thicker dust on my toilet brush, which sits just next to the bin/toilet.
I can see the fuzz. Yes it’s probably the brand of paper. That’s a nice granite brush holder you got there.

It makes perfect sense. If you don’t use TP, there’s no paper dust in the first place.
You can’t just leave your ass moist, why aren’t y’all using TP to dry off???
That’s if the dust is caused by the paper.
What else are they doing in there for there to get that much paper dust? Book binding?!
Man, it’s getting harder and harder to determine if people are joking or not. I am quite sure you are, but just in the case that you are serious, OP never mentioned paper dust to start with, just dust.
There’s no way they didn’t mean the layer of tp dust that comes from some extra soft brands of toilet paper.
Switch brands.
Yeah, thanks, it sounds like you’re right since people using other brands don’t seem to have this issue. My partner is extremely particular about this brand of TP though so I guess I’m just gonna have to live with it.
Unless it’s an allergy issue just get something else and put it in the old bag. I did this with dish soap until others admitted the store brand at half the cost worked just as well… they couldn’t deny it as they’d been happily using it for months without complaint.

You still need to wipe after using a bidet. Whether you’re wiping water off your butt or poop, I highly doubt in either case anyone is using that towel on their face afterwards, so it’s moot. You’re either keeping poo towels or you’re wiping with paper that gets flushed with the poo. If you think the former is more developed then so be it, but my diet doesn’t necessitate power washing my asshole after pooping and keeping poo towels is a non-starter for me.

I don’t understand these things. All I’ve ever tried to use are waaayy too strong and cause water to splash everywhere. I do have an under-the-toilet-seat one and I like that very much, butI never got the hand of the handheld ones
The bum gun does take some practice.
You pretty much shuffle forward a little, position the BG behind the disaffected area, at an obtuse angle to your sphincter, ease on, I mean really ease on the gas until you can confirm that all splash is going down into the bowl, finally you can really pucker up and hit it.
The thing is… you still need some TP to dry off after.
I needed the laugh this brought on 😂. Spot on tutorial on how to bidet correctly 👍
ah I’ve yet to try the integrated ones ! Regarding the flow, I guess it should be controlled somewhere upstream
Omg this happened to me for the first time with the last batch of toilet paper I got. It was from target. I never had that happen before that!
Got toilet paper from aldi this time and thank god it is better.
This guy doesn’t even know about the three seashells!!!

Spray, air dry, heated seat. It’s only 3 buttons to figure out.
Dust? What?
Never heard of such a thing. I’d try different brands, does not sound normal that the paper would shed.
But I think just about every bathroom would get regular dust buildup pretty quickly especially if it’s a flat (not a house) where one of the only outward air vents would usually be there.
Just mentioning that because a lot of people don’t seem to clean their bathroom floors — or other surfaces for that matter, that aren’t the actual toilet seat or the faucet — all that regularly. We’ve just recently had this talk with a friend of mine who’s a bachelor and was complaining about how his bathroom is somehow built wrong or faulty because it gets so dusty so quickly, and used ours as an example of how easy we have it because his would need constant cleaning to look similarly decent.
Had to tell them that unfortunately we are cleaning it, out of this very same necessity, very frequently and that’s the only reason it looks like it does as opposed to theirs…
Just a thought: Maybe others just clean it more often and that’s why there isn’t dust visible. You’d be a visitor on other peoples’ homes, so they very likely do some extra scrubbing right before you visit. Maybe you just don’t happen to see the place as it is in an average day, if not actively and frequently kept clean, and that’s why you think others don’t have the same buildup. You witness your bathroom every single day after all, others only occasionally.
I have that too. I just wipe it with microfibre wipes every few weeks and before guests come over.
I replaced the toilet paper with a bidet, no more dust.
You don’t need toilet paper to dry your bum off?
I walk like zoidberg until it is dry.
Nah. I just do little twerk and it shakes all the dribbles off.
Please elaborate. What does the clean up process look like if you use no paper at all?

I was also surprised how well it works, but you genuinely just sploosh water with a mild bit of pressure at it and it comes off.
I’ve been using a hand-operated travel bidet, which is basically just a squeeze bottle with a nozzle, and that still gets me perfectly clean. Definitely much cleaner than with toilet paper.
You know those pressure washer videos where they clean sidewalks? Like that, but it is your poop shoot being cleaned.
I clean my bathroom.
Fuck off.
I knew this would be here.
