Vintage Ad For Scott Tissues Claims Women Are 'More Susceptible' To Toilet Paper Troubles

LOOK: Women Are More Susceptible To?

Women are so delicate that they need special toilet paper, according to this vintage advertisement.

This Scott Tissues ad from a 1930 issue of Good Housekeeping, posted on Tumblr by questionableadvice, warns readers that "at least 15 diseases can be caused or aggravated by improper tissue" -- and women are particularly at risk.

"It doesn't pay to be careless in this bathroom essential," the spread advises.

Let's assume these "risks" ended with the 1930s -- we hope nothing we buy at the drug store will ever have "tiny slivers" in it.
