'Flushable' personal wipes giving sewer utilities a headache

The Reaper said:
Mix some super thick peanut butter with chocolate syrup. Then, smear it all over you arms, face, etc.... Now, you look down n theres 2 options. Dry toilet paper, or baby wipes. We all know which ones youre gonna choose.

Been using flushable wet wipes in my home for years now. Never had one single issue or clog.

Youre cleaning fuckin feces off your skin.... you truly prefer dry, flimsy toilet paper?? Jesus.... plenty of yall would fail the "white glove test" fuckin horribly.


Flushable wipes FTW!!!!

You're obviously not on a septic tank. If you were, you'd be posting something else. Your wipes just become the problem of the sanitary district that deals with your sewage. In other words, you're passing it on to someone else.

Amazing that humanity actually existed for 40,000 years without wet wipes. Just amazing.

Not really. Keep it in container with a sprung lid.

I certainly flush my paper down, and don't use wipes. Nor would I. If I did I wouldn't flush them. It's about the same as flushing plastic bags down the toilet, it just creates problems elsewhere.

WTF, white glove test? Is that some new fetish where someone inspects you or something? GTFO with that shit.

I'm sure you managed before you started using them. Ain't like chicks wouldn't do you just because you didn't use baby wipes.

You know theres actual flushable ones right? Ones that actually do dissolve n breakdown like toilet paper.....

And yea, because we didnt die out over the last 40,000 yrs, thats a great argument n point. That kind of great thinking n logic is definitely how we've progressed as a species over the thousands n thousands of years. We havent died off, lets keep shit as its always been. Fuckin rocket scientist....

You could also "manage" brushing your teeth with a paint brush n flossing with a string from your fuckin sock.... dont mean there arent better tools for the job.

Simple fact.... wipes are gonna clean your ass better than flimsy, dry toilet paper. You wanna walk around as a shitty assed grown ass man, go for it. Me, ima keep me n mines as clean as possible 24-7.

as a matter of fact I am a nuclear scienticialist.
 
Oh, OK. Now I see. It's not an issue about being clean. A bidet would never work.

Jesus.... read on somethin before bashin it. There are wipes, that dissolve n breakdown exactly like toilet paper.

Got a bet for you. I'll trust you. Take one of those and bury it in the dirt, and dig it up in two weeks. Let us know how much it degraded. There's ZERO standard or regulation on "bio-degradable". Nobody sets standards on what it means or how long it takes. It's like food that's labeled "country", "juice", "green", "healthy", "earth grown", " free range", and a host of others. I have a "bio degradable" plastic cup I buried in my compost heap 1.5 years ago.That fucker looks just like the day I put it in there. In the long run everything is bio degradable. All it takes is enough water.

No need homie....

Ive actually used em to also clean with soapy water around the house. Things fall apart jus like TP. The ones i use are kinda in between the durability of TP and papertowels.

That's compost.:shame

Typically you don't compost fat, oil, bones and meat.

But you can compost poo and some toilets are designed specifically for that. Conversationalist say that adding water to poo made the sanitation work so much bigger and more dangerous.

Wipes that don't break down will be a problem for composting toilets too.

yep. in many non western areas, the pipelines simply cannot handle TP and other objects we take for granted.

with an ageing sewages system and more people every year, a little consideration into our utilites is in order

Im also on a septic system

This is what we should be investing in as a country. Infrastructure creates jobs and saves us the headache of paying TONS of OT when shit breaks. Like all the aging water mains in the bay area. Nobody will pay to fix them and then they break. Companies pay assloads to fix them in OT, plus the cost of rushed materials etc.

I'd rather my tax money go to fixing aging sewer lines, water lines, upgraded electrical grid (smart grid etc.), laying fiber internet (which we already did, but AT&T and other telecoms are the devil as we all know), and roadwork..

Create jobs for years, create stable living environments, create areas that can sustain large growth. That's how you get a kick ass country that lasts awhile.
