Meet Kinah, a woman with an unusual addiction that has caught the attention of many. In a revealing video featured on the American-based TLC’s My Strange Addiction: Still Addicted?, Kinah confessed that she is addicted to eating toilet paper. Shockingly, she consumes up to four rolls of it each day, leading to an annual expenditure of approximately ksh270k on her peculiar habit.
Over the past two decades, Kinah has devoured around 14,000 lbs of toilet paper. What’s even more astonishing is that she enjoys her bizarre snack not just at home but also in various places like work, her car, and even at the nail salon.
Despite the weird stares and occasional attempts by people to record her actions, Kinah remains unfazed by the criticism. Her ex-fiancé, Anthony, disapproves of her habit, pointing out that toilet paper is not intended for human consumption and doesn’t break down in the body.
However, Kinah is undeterred, claiming that the taste and texture of the paper make her mouth water. Even a preview of the documentary showcases her munching on toilet paper while at a nail salon, leaving the shop owner, Flora, bewildered and questioning her behavior. Flora wonders aloud why Kinah continuously puts toilet paper in her mouth without even drinking water.
Kinah’s story sheds light on the complexity of addiction and the profound effects it can have on an individual’s life. While her habit might seem strange to many, it serves as a reminder that addiction can take various forms and impact people in unique ways.
