    Just don’t flush them. Even if they say they’re “flushable”, they most certainly are not.

      Just to expand on that municipal sewage gets clogged by them because they turn into rock after some time and need to be removed with a jackhammer. Can also happen on a smaller scale before it reaches the municipality and then it’s on you.

      To anyone wondering why: they’re more akin to large cotton pads than toilet paper. They don’t break down.

      Over time it’s like flushing a bag of t-shirts and wondering why your pipes get clogged. Draino ain’t fixing that.
