This is entirely why I've become dependent on flushable wipes. Any combination of wet and dry toilet paper still takes forever to wipe properly and leaves my ass feeling sore whereas wipes always just takes one or two to completely get the job done. Idk if I have a sensitive ass or just missed the lesson on how to wipe right, but it feels like flushable wipes are the only thing that works for me ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Unfortunately flushable wipes are not flushable. If you actually read on the packaging what they mean by flushable they just mean that they are saying it won't clog your specific pipes.
however will not properly break down in the sewer and absolutely do still cause giant clogs that sewer workers have to manually tear apart. Which I mean makes sense just think about it a wet wipe literally has to be wet from the moment it's created and packaged while it sits in the store and after it gets to you and still be usable. It obviously doesn't break down in water or else it would just be debris by the time you opened it.
Save yourself some money and see where workers some stress get a bidet you can get really really nice super fancy ones that have heated seating heated water and a bunch of different stuff from Home Depot for like $300 or you can get one of the really cheap here is essentially just a spray head connected to water
'flushable' wipes aren't flushable bro
Fair enough. Just be sure that the wipes really are "flushable". I mean, you can flush basically anything - but most things are bad for your plumbing and for the wider sewage system. My understanding is that if the wipe doesn't break apart easily when it is wet, then it is not suitable for flushing.
In Australia, I noticed a heap of different 'flushable' wipe products vanished after new regulations were introduced. Actually, I don't recall see any such products at all recently.
Second verse, same as the first. Flushable wipes aren't flushable, but I also completely agree with you that they're the only wiping tech that works!
Bidet at home, and I carry a small pack of flushable wipes in the vehicles. If I have an issue and must use a public restroom (avoid at all costs, because ew) I take the pack of wipes and a small bag with me into the restroom. Throw the used wipe in the bag, throw it away when done. The bags come from a roll of those bags you use to pick up dog poop. Hell, when we were in Mexico, all the restrooms, including at the hotel, had signs saying not to flush regular toilet paper, to throw it away. Not such a stretch after that! Lol
I've got to be honest I've just perfected the art of wiping my backside.
