PSA: don't put your "flushable" wipes down the toilet. Or paper towels. Or tampons.

Nope. Just tampons. Also don’t flush disposable wipes.

I’m curious why you’re so aghast at tampons having blood on them but wipes which have poo are fine? Those would smell worse.

Basic hygiene was never...pull your bloody tampon out, wrap it in TP, then leave it in the open trash for several days. How wonderful your house must smell.

I'm shocked people still think "flushable" wipes are ok for your pipes, septic, sewers, etc. Nothing other than your pee, poop, and toilet paper. Honestly best to choose the cheap TP too (not the 2-ply clothy kind).

Don't be dumb, y'all. This is not the time for a plumbing emergency.

I think the problem is that this term is still legal regardless of actually causing major problem everywhere. It should be banned from use on labels. In theory anything is flushable, even a small car if you cut in small pieces but just as the wipes it will clog your drain and cause issues with the plumbing on all levels form private home to city.

Ban this thing world-wide.

I don’t use disposable wipes to clean up after using the toilet. Hence why I never flushed them. I personally only use them to wipe my face and neck.

It’s always a terrible idea.
However with the inability to buy toilet paper, more people are using so-called flushable wipes. It’s not one tampon or one wipe, but all of them add up to blockages.
Can you explain why it’s necessary for you to flush it?

Have you seen and smelled what absorbs into a tampon?

Of course. Wrap with TP, put into trash can. Take your trash out when it's full.

Do you also flush old food? Onion peels? Fish? Other cooking stuff? Stuff growing in your fridge? 3 week old takeout? Of course not.

It's idiotic to flush anything besides TP. The plumber loves it, because you pay him.

Umm...no wrapping it in TP and throwing it in the trash can isn’t covering up the smell and blood. Your house must stank and clearly not coronavirus safe. I don’t let food rot, I use a garbage disposal.

Stop playing with your tampons and they won’t pass you coronavirus. Seriously...what are you doing with them?!?

Playing with them?! Says the people who want you to touch it and wrap it in TP. Yeah, I remove with the string and flush quickly.

You’re the idiot who said it wasn’t coronavirus safe.

PP truly you are not seeing the third option?
Why do you think you need to leave it for SEVERAL days in the open trash?????
If you are flushing them down then I hope that the next plumber bill for 800 bucks
will help your imagination and creativity while keeping top hygiene.

That’s not what people mean when they say “flushable wipes”. Makeup wipes? Or you use toilet wipes on your face?

Go back and read. Posters are saying they throw them in the trash then empty the trash once cycle is over (that’s at least 3 days if not more). I hope your reading gets better before I get this imaginary plumbing bill.

Do you think toilet wipes are what they are marketed as? They are used for numerous cleaning. Especially if you have little kids. Duh.

Goodness, all these people demanding they flush their wipes and tampons, just throw them away and save the city sewer system, it’s really not hard.
