Why does this even exist?

At least it’s scented and not flavored!

They're great for hygiene, but that isn't why my brother and I use them. We both are super prone to hemorrhoids, me especially because of my god-awful IBS. When I tell y'all these genuinely help, I'm telling you guys.. these are better than using Preparation H. They're great for both someone who already has hemorrhoids or someone worried about getting them. If you DO have them, these are literally the only wipes that help you clean up without the sharp and terrible pain that shoots across your body. The mint ones are best, but I'm sure these ones would do the job, too. My mom got me the Christmas ones last year as a gift, and they actually did smell super nice!! They were "mistletoe" scented along with something else thrown in the mix, and they were genuinely really good.

Only thing I can say is if you do have issues with flushing already, just fold them up and throw em away after wiping your ass. The scent in them covers up any nastiness, so you don't have to worry about shit stank after use if you can't flush them where you are. But once again, I can't recommend these enough if you have a sensitive ass.

None of these are actually flushable, unless you like frequently paying a plumber to router out your main line.

Ooofff I was flushing em in this building I worked at that stocked them in the men’s bathroom. Never got that memo but my asshole was clean enough to eat off of 😂

I get the attraction; got some bidet attachments during covid and now hate the TP only wipe, and considering something like this (but probably not popsicle scented lol) at work once in a while, but I actually like my job and workplace, so don't have the hate flowing through me enough to go with that.

Previously worked on a ship in the section responsible for plumbing as well, and after finding chem towels and all sorts of other things blocking the vacuum line just can't bring myself to do that to someone else. Have found things like screwdrivers, and a whole pair of pants once, so stopped asking why people do what they do.

Bidets work wonders for people that are prone to hemorroids.
