No wipes are actually flushable.
https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/are-flushable-wipes-really-flushable-a1736074350/
There exist flushable wipes that disolve in water but the issue is finding them.
they are usually near the toilet paper/towels in most chains.
Interesting, although frustratingly it didn't actually tell me what to watch out for. Just saying "no" to an entire product category seems like an excessively large hammer
If they dissolved while wet, they would turn into mush in the packaging. If you really want your wipes to be wet, moisten your TP before wiping.
Toilet paper doesn't dissolve when damp. Before you get condescending, think about if your criticism applies to the product you're telling me to use instead.
You can test your "flushable" wipes. Put them in a jar with water, shake for 30 seconds. Do the same with toilet paper. Wait 5 minutes. If your wipes aren't as broken down as the toilet paper, they will cause problems in your pipes.
Lol, the TP turns to pulp when you flush, the wet wipes turn to goo. Don't flush any kind of wet wipes.
If you want to prove me wrong then put a wet wipe in a cup for 15min and a piece of TP in another cup then shake it. Send pics to update us.
Yes, because the entire category is a myth
Because the bad products are claiming to be good. It's a poisoned product category.
A bidet is a safer option, and cheaper in the long term.
