On another site....people were chatting about how they had napkins and paper-towels if they ran out of t.p. I posted the same warning about flushing and "some" people just scoffed at me. I said, "alright, then when you have a REAL issue and need a plumber---don't complain!" I grew up in the country with a septic system and my parents trained me well. Then we moved into town and we still employed the same habits. Even if the wipes say "flushable" the plumbers will say do NOT flush them and the same goes for anything that's NOT t.p. None of it biodegrades!!
