Your thick, soft three-ply toilet paper can break down easily, along with your waste. But the so-called “flushable” wipes don’t break down, despite what the packaging states.

Once you flush down your waste and wipes, the issue will be where it goes after the flush.

These wipes can easily get stuck between your toilet drain and the city sewer line. Only to accumulate and collect whatever else can get caught up. Once this happens, you’re going to face an overflowing massive toilet clog. No one wants to deal with that! Yuk.

What you can do to avoid this is get a special receptacle for the wipes, instead of throwing them down your toilet, or buy a toilet bidet that does the job to clean your bottom. The bottom line (no pun intended) is that it will save you the headache of an overflowing clogged toilet and the money to pay for a plumber, should you not want to tackle the clog yourself.
