We're getting close.  I had the wife buy the flushable wipes for backup.


They often aren’t water soluble.....

I know.  Apparently fatbergs are loaded with them.

edit: just looked and my wife got Cottonelle flushable wipes which they say are designed to disintegrate upon flushing.  Hopefully they do.

Another interest thing, my hands back have become drier and drier and full of bruises and cuts.

This was simply due to...frequent washes...

 

I bought a cream in pharmacy and things are getting better, I did't know my skin was so delicate...

They aren't unfortunately and will lead to a clog.  None of the "flushable wipes" actually are.  Don't flush them ever!

Correct.  These things are the worst for large sewer systems.  May be ok for septics, but not for muni systems.

If they have this in Italy, get a tub. It's the best that I've used

Would suck to survive the virus and get sick from this, if it was on the inside of your hand others might raise eyebrows.

They have one for cracked feet too which is excellent.

Stock tip: invest in companies like O"Keeffe's or Gold Bond.

They said 'flushable' wipes, not 'won't clog the ***** out of your sewer line' wipes!

they aren’t flushable, you’ll find out like people who buy that lie do

 

why they are allowed to pretend is a good question

True true.  Although they could say both and still be right! ?

 

They are even worse on septic systems!

You can flush almost anything, “water soluble” is the key

 

you can’t flush a bowling ball or microwave oven

Yup;  we had an episode years ago where the wife was using 'flushable' baby wipes.   Of course, they caught on the roots that had broken into the line to the septic tank.  It took the plumber about two hours to clear it out.

advertising for this stuff is the Wild West

 

They are allowed to claim 24 rolls when it’s really 12, but trust us that each roll counts as two....  what is going on? Who ARE these people?
