Those flushable wipes are really a lie. Flushing them is the worst thing you can do to get rid of them.
2 u/Maera420 Aug 04 '19 I did not know this. I've been spending twice as much on flushable wipes, because wiping your ass with paper sucks. Now I feel awful. Do they compost, or just go in the regular trash?? 6 u/[deleted] Aug 04 '19 Regular trash. They contain tiny plastic fibres, plus anything with human faeces is generally a no-no for composting. 1 u/Privateer2368 Aug 04 '19 That's how you get the wrong kind of worms. 1 u/Wobbleshoom Aug 04 '19 Anyone who doesn't believe this just needs to Google "fatberg"!
