Nzilamiyoba revealed that her project was inspired by childhood experiences of using newspaper as a last resort.

She acknowledged that newspaper wasn't the ideal material but saw value in exploring recycling methods to create softer, skin-friendly alternatives.

"Creating my own toilet paper is a practice that takes me back to when using newspaper was a common alternative whenever I ran out of toilet paper. Using newspaper isn't the best as there are ways to recycle them into softer materials for the skin," she said.

Although her intention was to demonstrate a homemade alternative, many viewers were disappointed by the final product.

Critics pointed out the resulting tissue paper's rough texture, questioning its suitability for skin use.

"Hold the newspaper in your hands then do like you’re washing clothes. Before you know it, it would have already become soft just like baby soft toilet paper. Don’t mind my English, was in a hurry."
