Yes, paying attention while buying can be done. The whole manufacturing process of paper towels requires completion at high temperatures. If the packing is not timely or the storage condition is not appropriate, the paper will become damp or contaminated and the paper towel becomes an "unhealthy hygienic paper towel". Regular brand toilet paper should print the production date and shelf life on the outer packaging. Toilet paper, in general, is usable within three years.

Why are paper towels prone to colonies?
-
The main condition for paper towels to form colonies is improper storage, followed by the quality of the paper towels themselves. Most of the white paper towels available in the market don't have the functions of being antibacterial and bactericidal. As a result, their colonies are produced very easily, which is definitely a weakness for white paper towels. Therefore, hand in hand with this weakness, the bamboo fiber natural color paper with the function of antibacterial and bactericidal gradually became the mainstream.
Generally speaking, when consumers buy paper towels, most of them pay attention to the brand and price, and few of them pay attention to whether paper towel expires or not. Consumers generally believe that as long as toilet paper is not unpacked, it can be stored and used slowly at home. Besides, some other consumers think that even though toilet paper has any problem, while it will not be as serious as the expired food. In fact, these views are all wrong and damage the health of ordinary people. If, in the process of manufacturing, toilet paper is not packed in time or is poorly stored, and it becomes damp or gets contaminated, the toilet paper will become "unhygienic paper". It is necessary for ordinary brand toilet paper to print the date of making and the warranty period on the outer package. National product labeling clearly states this issue. Generally, the shelf life of toilet paper is very short, and it should be no more than three years under the prerequisite of being stored in a dry and ventilated place. Even within the shelf life, without any functions of antibacterial and antifungus, toilet paper will breed bacteria once it is put into an area suitable for bacteria.
The flushing toilet paper that has expired could easily breed bacteria and would pose a threat to our health when being used. This is especially true for the two other kinds of recycled toilet paper and poor quality toilet paper, which are usually recycled, soaked, re-pulped, de-oiled, de-inked, and bleached, with talcum powder, fluorescent agent, brightener, and softener added. During the manufacturing process of the toilet paper, there will inevitably be some harmful substances which leave the human body, such as mercury, cadmium, lead, asbestos, and so on.
Moreover, low-quality toilet paper is also susceptible to mold, which seriously affects human sexual health! Especially for women! Because the toilet paper directly touches people's most sensitive and private body part, the quality standard of toilet paper should be very strict. If using expired toilet paper over a long period, it is easy to suffer from some gynecological diseases such as fungal gynecological inflammation or pelvic inflammatory disease. Expired toilet paper gravely influences the quality of people's lives. In fact, man uses toilet paper in his daily life. One roll of toilet paper is best used for only one purpose; otherwise, it will increase the probability of cross infection. If it will be used by infants or the elderly, you should try to choose a higher grade which is not bleached and has no harmful chemical additives.
