I would die first if there were some kind of apocalypse because I can NOT live without flushable wipes. My wife got me addicted to those damn things and now I won't leave the job without a sparkling butthole.

Some of us are hairy and using TP is like trying to wipe Santa's mouth with a small napkin.
 
So? Are you licking down there? Did you know humans managed to exist and prosper before "flushable" wipes were invented?

The ancients lived with dirty asses and they suffered so that we may be the sparkling products of evolutionary advancement. Show some fucking gratitude and use a wet wipe.

God, can you even operate a screwdriver or a butter knife? If you can't operate TP even.. damn.

The problem is one of perception. There is no visible mess after using TP, but there is residue, and its enough to turn a wet wipe brown. If you are cool with that, then you can enjoy being a sick SOB. My ass is clean, bro.
 
BTW- the official pole is wrong: you can't use a flushable wipe first and THEN toilet paper...it'll disintegrate the toilet paper and you'll have a bunch of paper balls in your crack. You need to use TP FIRST and then the wipe to get anything left.
 
OK, I had to google it.

It would be like waxing your car before you wash it.
 
don't throw wipes down the toilet, it makes a mess of the plumbing and clogs up the sewage systems. Saw on the news of the poor dudes that have to remove the wipes every week from the sewage systems...

Yup. Have a buddy who is a plumber. Those things are the devil. Even when they say "flushable" they aren't.

If you still want to use them when you have to keep a bin for them... great I guess.
 
So, are flushable wipes as cloggable as paper towel?

If so, I would go that route since the sink is so close to both my shitters.
 
I've been using them for 15 years in my current home with no issues. I suppose it depends on your plumbing as much as anything else. I'd certainly know by now if it weren't.
 
I now hate you because that image is burned into my brain for the rest of the day. D:


Sorry about that, hazard of the forum!

Good point.

can just google flushable wipe damage. it clogs pump stations and vacuum collection trucks in gravity type sewage areas like mine.

you figure if they break down like they were supposedly designed to the wipes would look more like a cake of pulp when you open the package as opposed to looking just like regular baby wipes.
