If they didn’t regulate the amount of water down to nearly nothing per flush, this might not be the problem that it is.
Sue the mfgrs’ butts, much like the gun sue-ers (sic).
If they are strong enough to be wet and not tear, then they are NOT made for flushing, no matter what they say.
you know, my job ain't so bad after all......
Mark Steyn was hilarious on this today on Rush. Wipezilla throwing the Tower of London over its shoulder.
Are these the ones that several NFL linemen are promoting (according to Rush)? “Defunk your Drawers”, “Clean your Crack” or something like that...
I know some folks with their heads in the sand who have no problem with gov't bans on guns, etc. But I bet they'll have a HUGE problem with the gov't banning their convenient little wet nappies.
This can’t be.
Hollyweird dictated that people only use one square.
The people doing this are from other countries and this is not a new issue.
They don’t have access to running water or what we think of as a toilet.
Additionally, they live in homes/apartments that are rented and think that the plumbing just gets magically fixed.
If they had to pay for the repairs they would learn in short order what goes in the toilet and what goes in the trash.
I’m reminded of a sign in a bathroom, in Puerto Aventura, Mexico:
“Do not put anything in this toilet that was eaten first!”
“Manufacturers insist wipes labeled flushable aren’t the problem,”
Oh yes they damned well are. They DO NOT break down like toilet tissue does.
I’ve been on countless calls to snake lines as big as 3 and 4 inches with these damned things blocking them. I have had to cut them off my snake with a sharp knife.
Something like this is NOT flushable I don’t care what it says on the package.
If you use them with a septic system, they will also destroy it in short order.
Low flow toilets make the likelihood of clogging greater but the lines will plug with a high flow toilet also.
You might as well be trying to flush flannel rags down the toilet.
Howard Stern has been using these for that for years now. You can blame him for any Long Island sewer clogs. Only girly men and retards use this crap. Unreal!
“My team regularly goes sewer diving” to analyze what’s causing problems, said Trina McCormick...

If she and her team get tired of that job - they could always go into politics.
I tried them once. Made me feel like I wasn’t quite ...done . Ended up having ti finish up with dry toilet paper.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc can really stink up a situation.
Its not as nasty, gross, or smelly as you might thing.
Sewer clogs? Hope and change at work.
I think you would have to be crazy to attempt use these in a septic tank system
I had to have my main line rodded out last month. Funny, I have a PVC mainline, and it NEVER clogs. About two months ago, my wife started buying those flushable wipes. Sure as can be, as soon as my buddy came, we started fishing the line down and he asked “hey btw, are you guys using flushable wipes?” Yup, we sure were. Pulled out the claw about 40’ into the line, and pulled out a mess of white wipes.
He said they are booming because of these wipes. We threw them away.
An engineer who called Mark Steyn on today’s Rush Limbaugh Show nailed it.
Our sewer pipes are designed with 1/8” drop per mile, intended to be kept moving by FULL 3.5 gallon toilet flushes and FULL FLOW showerheads. Cut the water flow and it all backs up.
Government egged on by enviro-do-gooders has created this problem.
I am a prepper and needed to store of some kind of toilet paper - I didn't have enough room for regular toilet paper, so I studied “wipes”, which is now I became a professional about knowing about these wipes.
I have wipes there are absolutely flushable and it says on each package in big letter: “FLUSHABLE WIPES”. One can store a lot of these in a small space, like one not huge box - enough for four people for close to a year.
I also have a box of Baby Wipes which is a whole new ballgame. These ARE NOT FLUSHABLE. On the back it says, “DO NOT FLUSH”. They are also larger than the flushable ones. They are great for cleaning anything but cannot be flushed in the toilet.
The flushable ones are 7.25 inches x 5.25 inches.
The non-flushable ones are 7.4 inches x 6.9 inches.
The clogged pipes are due to people not reading. They are tossing non-flushable baby wipes into the toilet. They won't come apart so they are clogging up sewer pipes in the cities.
You have now completed the course in Flushable, Non-flushable Wipes 101.
