In the world of personal hygiene, our awareness is broadening, especially when it comes to keeping our behinds clean and comfortable. Traditional toilet paper often falls short in cleansing and can be rough on sensitive skin. Many have turned to wet wipes for a more thorough clean, yet these wipes frequently cause significant plumbing issues. If you're searching for a reliable wet wipe alternative, look no further!

This innovative solution ensures you stay fresh and clean without the worry of clogged plumbing systems.
Why “Flushable” Wipes Really Aren’t Flushable
Some wet wipe manufacturers label their wipes as “flushable,” even though the act of flushing wet wipes can actually clog our sewer systems. Wipes simply cannot transform from being durable enough to be soaked in liquid to dissolvable immediately after use. In fact, a study conducted in Canada showed that not one of the 101 wipes labeled as flushable that they tested moved properly through a sewer system. Another study found that about 90% of the giant municipal plumbing clogs known as “fatbergs” removed from sewer systems consisted of large amounts of disposable wipes.
What Happens to Flushed Wet Wipes
Unlike bathroom tissue, wipes do not disintegrate when they hit water, as they stay mostly in one solid piece. Wipes simply do not break down in a manner that can safely and efficiently travel through the plumbing system in your home. The inability of flushable wipes to efficiently break down can and does cause clogs and backups in home plumbing and sewer systems, creating unexpected home plumbing bills. It can also lead to greater issues in commercial plumbing and municipal systems. And, in these larger systems, flushable wipes bind with other debris and form massive clogs, cause overflow, and reduce the flow and filtration capabilities of the entire wastewater system.
So, why are disposable wipes labeled as “flushable”? There are currently no regulations restricting companies from placing this label on their products. It takes an environmentally conscious person to do their own research and realize that just because they can flush a wet wipe down the toilet doesn’t mean it’s good for their plumbing or the environment.
