Can you flush wet wipes down the toilet?!


Question: Can you flush wet wipes down the toilet?
I don't want to use toilet paper anymore but wet wipes instead. However, I heard a while ago that baby wipes clog up toilets. Are baby wipes and wet wipes the same thing?

Most of the packs advise against it.

Nope definatly not! they do clog up the pipes and cause some major damage, oddly enough so do the toilet wipes! My daughter in law buys them for her 3 yr old and this week her entire garden flooded and there was toilet waste everywhere, she now has a huge bill just for using toilet wipes that state on the packet are "safe" to flush|!!! Trust me hun don't flush them!
Good Luck x

i really dont think so, because they are very thick than toilet paper.I'ld perfer not to because even if it does flush down, those germ killing chemicals traces end up in the water we drink:(



Yes you can, but don't over do it..other wise you will have to use the plunger..=)



wet wipes/ baby wipes clog the toilet
