Answers:
I don't know but I won't dare to use it for my wound!.!.!. except If there's no other choices left!. Maybe It's clean but can't help but feel that It's dirty and has lots of germs and bacteria!. Maybe it's because It is in toilets and toilets are dirty, dirty things will have bacteria and our wounds may get infected!.!.!.

TP is better than a shirt if you don't have anything else!. A lot of bacteria could be in the fabric!. Though TP flakes so it's not that great either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why is your avatar male and you have a boyfriend!? You are way sicker than an injury!. And then a toilet paper question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The toilet paper is safe, its also a better absorbent then a band-aid and can cover more of the wound easily!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Better to clean with spirited cotton!. If not available!., no harm with sterlized tissue paper!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no!. Definitely not!.
Toilet papers have fabric and when when you use it to clean wounds, the fabrics sometimes stick to the blood, so it's not good!
So for me i must prefer cleaning wounds with cotton and with betadine on it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah why is your avatar male!? Are you a she-man!? Anyway, If there is really nothing else you can find and you need something fast, TP will do and yes it is still much better than cloth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
