There is no such thing as a flush-able wipe. Just some that break down better than others. Unclogging has put many a plumber's kid through college. At an average of $500 a pop, it doesn't take many of these calls before a plumber starts growing a sizable account.

Yeah, it is a LOT of money for an average 45 minute job. It costs a lot because it is an icky job and not many people are willing to do it.

Even toilet tissue is best collected and thrown out with the trash. I know it sounds gross, but a proper sized bin by the john with a standard family sized grocery bag can collect an average day or more's worth of used toilet tissue. Tie up the bag and throw it out with the trash.

All plumbing breaks down and clogs eventually. It is just a matter of time.

...

A bidet, even a portable one, is a better idea.

There’s no way I’m putting that toxic waste into a bin in my house.

Decades ago I had a goofy Libtard roommate for a year.... when we had to call a plumber for a badly blocked toilet it turned out that she had been putting wads of standard paper towels (those kitchen rolls of “Bounty” type towels) down the toilet while dealing with her dog’s upset tummy. She was genuinely surprised that this caused a huge problem. She was around 30 yrs old and this was before the supposed “flushable wipes” .... the plumber was shaking his head when she walked away but said don’t worry he had seen it all and worse.
