Well for quite some time I have gone back to doing the toilet paper. But where it is place ( I should have said it a little better) is basically in between and it sits somewhat outside. When I do this I haven't gotten any discharge on my underwear. But I do receive irritation that show up on the toilet paper. I have had some irritation around the toilet paper area. I have had a yeast infection before so could this possibly be irritation from a yeast infection? I am also strongly considering a second opinion as well too. >
