Flushable wet wipes

[Twospaniels]

Do you flush them?
Would you flush them if you had a septic tank?
I use them occasionally but never flush them, however I just wonder if I could/should flush them, but I do have a septic tank.

No wet wipes are flushable, despite what they may say on the packet.

No I woukd never flush them my mom bought them and demanded I use them when dd was potty training but she couldn't make me flush them 😂

No wet wipes are flushable even if they say they are. They do not break up in the system. Don't ever flush them.

Definitely don't flush them, especially if you have a septic tank. My Dsis' child did this at my mums with those kandoo potty training wipes and blocked the whole pipe getting to the septic tank, ended up with shit all over the driveway. 0/10 would not recommend 🤣

People get so worked up about this and I can't understand why.

The packaging says they have passed flushable standard and are biodegradable.
So I will flush them.

Been using them for years with newly toilet trained kids and never had a blockage or problem with the toilet.

Normal baby wipes, nappies, sanitary products etc, absolutely not. But wipes that are advertised as safe to flush, fine.

If they have the tick and Fine to Flush certification mark then they've passed stringent tests by Water UK and are safe to flush.

as Wessex water say: PEE, PAPER, POO

Causes of blockages
We deal with around 13,000 blockages on our network every year at a cost of around £5m, with around 75 per cent of them involving disposable items.
The most common causes of blockages are:

• wet wipes, including those labelled flushable
• sanitary items, such as towels and tampons
• fats, oils and grease (FOGs) and food leftovers.

To keep your home blockage free, only flush the three Ps: paper, pee and poo.

We use a lot of wipes here. DS can’t manage loo roll and I have a chronic health condition which causes unpleasant acidic stool sometimes. For this reason we go Mediterranean style and have a little bin lined with a bag that I empty daily. Also our house is ancient and the drains are very old so I prefer to not take the risk. Old neighbours from way back used to flush wipes and block out shared drain and this was an absolute nuisance so I’m quite strict about nothing but pee and poo in the loo.

Put a lined bin near where you'll be using them. So it's easy to put them in the bin

The less that goes down the toilet into the sewage system the better. I'm not an eco warrior or anything but there's just no need to flush them if you have a bathroom bin.
OP specifically asked about septic tanks and they are a completely different kettle of fish, and from expensive experience they cannot handle anything other than pee poo and paper.

Nope. No such thing as flushable wipes.

Pee,Poo and (toilet)Paper are the only things you should be flushing

This it's generally wet toilet wipes that are safe to flush as stated on the packet, but not wet wipes per say.

Thanks everyone, I’ll continue to NOT flush them. I bin them and empty the bin daily so will continue with that.

Thinking about it, it should really be pee, paper, poo, puke and period* as the things that go down the toilet.

*I mean blood, not tampons etc.
