Flushable wipes are a lie

[SprinklesandSparkles]

'Flushable wet wipes are not flushable. They might decompose when exposed to the right conditions but end up blocking the communal drain in my garden on the way to those conditions.

Signs all over my local hospital saying not to flush them.

Never knowingly flushed them with my 2yo.

They should ban the word flushable from the packets, just bin them, it's not hard.

To be fair if they market them as flushable they should be flushable. Yanbu @SprinklesandSparkles - they need much better labelling.

I will try this. I cannot use dry loo roll only so do use wet wipes (and flush two at a time.)

I still thought they were flushable until VERY recently!

Of course they are. This is not news. There have been loads of articles about them over the years.

Yet another pointless product which did not exist 25 years ago and which now loads of people "can't live without".
