These “flushable” sanitary wipes were pulled out of a clogged drain still intact. They do not break down like toilet paper and should not be thrown into a toilet. Charmin toilet paper is very similar in this respect. I used Charmin for years before I learned how much havoc it can cause on a septic system.

I love this test done by Consumer Reports on sanitary wipes.

This video is an excellent example of why these wipes should stay out of the toilet.
