Don't flush those flushable wipes, baby wipes, paper towels, 5 day old meatballs and sausage... yes, we get that a lot especially from little old Italian ladies, um, leftover soups, floss for teeth, string, whole cucumbers, we don't ask, we don't judge. , cotton swabs, any feminine products, try to avoid using that really soft thick toilet paper like poster above uses.
Flush in the middle of what you're doing too so the waste isn't all trying to get down the pipe at the same time.
Flushing that stuff can clog up the toilet or if it's gets through to the main sewer line it can clog that up. Just the other day we removed about about 30 flushable wipes from someone's main sewer line. They don't break up in water like they're advertised.
If you are going to flush in the middle step away from the throne cause it's splashing up all over you! I read this somewhere not to do it!

Those flushable wipes are absolutely a no no if you have a septic system and not that great if you're on city sewage. I do like the idea of using dry first then cleaning up lastly with a wipe and tossing into a lidded trash can for disposal later. When you're behind is as hairy as mine, I'll often times jump in the shower after a number two just for good measure since I like to be fresh and clean. Don't judge... :P

Robert, with all due respect I will never again be able to read one of your posts without remembering you have a hairy ass.

A plumber once told me that whenever Charmin goes on sale, he gets more calls.
I don't understand why grown people are using baby wipes on their own butts. Seriously.
You do realize that your anus will never be sanitary, right? It's an ANUS. YOU CANNOT SANITIZE YOUR ANUS, and why would you even TRY????
If you can't clean yourself with toilet paper maybe you should look at your...ahem...technique. Seriously.
Wet wipes for adults is ridiculous. I hate those things. HATE THEM.
The reason people use them on babies is because babies poop all over themselves because...well...they're babies.
We're not babies. Most of us don't poop in our pants.
Wow. Thanks for directing that at ME.
Although my butt isn't any of YOUR concern, I simply meant that by putting used TP or wipes in the trash can easily spread more germs (and odors) than necessary. And I would bet that if YOU did that, it wouldn't smell like roses, so your stench would filter through your bathroom, down the hall, into your kitchen.

How are those hamburgers tasting tonight?
PHFT!
Actually...when people like you are clogging up sewers with "flushable" wet wipes for their sanitized anuses, it IS my concern. My taxes PAY for those sewers and they PAY the wages of those who have to come out, sometimes in the middle of the night, to clear the clog created by your "flushable" wipes. In the meantime, if the work is close enough to me, MY WATER GETS SHUT OFF. How do I know? When the dipsticks who live close to me gave birth to twins, guess what...Little Miss Dainty decided she didn't want to stink up the place with used wipes so she wiped her special snowflakes' bottoms with "flushable" wipes and created a crapberg in the sewer. My water was off for 12 hours while that got cleared. It was a weekday too, so guess who had to brush their teeth at work and use a TON of deodorant that day? Me.
Waste water pipes and fresh water pipes are totally different pipes. They don't meet anywhere and lord knows you wouldn't want them to either.
There's no reason why they should have shut off access to your fresh water just because the main sewer line was clogged or even if the sewer line in the street was clogged.
edited.. it you're in a condo or apartment building they might turn off yours and everyone elses water so no more water backs up into the basement of your apartment building.
sorry.. you're right. I didn't think my answer through enough.
