I loves me some "fresh bum" wipes...but I no longer flush them. Seems that they cause a "shit ton" of problems for the city sewer system here...so I bag them and dispose of them in the garbage can daily.

This. Regardless of them saying flushable... DO NOT FLUSH.


And no - I don't use them.... Though there are certain days where having them would be ideal heh.

I honestly don't understand why they are allowed to sell them with that flushable label.

I mean if you assume "flushable" just litearily means it will fit down the toilet then I guess they're alright. People think they break down like toilet paper which they most certainly do not. Plumbers LOVE them though.

I am surprised that no one mentioned that you shouldn't flush them.
