I don’t flush them either. I put them in the wastebasket. We paid $24,000 for our septic system and taking no chances. I even hide them when we have company over because I don’t trust that people won’t flush them. None of the nursing homes I’ve ever worked in flush them either.
Oh, crap. For a moment there, I thought you were talking about flushing hamburgers down the toilet!
I don't use them either. I've always wondered what the deal was with the (adult) wipes when dampened toilet paper works just fine.
Many consumers happily get convinced by product marketing that their bodily functions are ever more filthy and disgusting than they used to be. So much so that they require more and more extraordinary products to sanitize themselves. Not willing to soil your dainty white hands with any hint of ordinary organic matter? There's something called soap and water, regular bathing, changing underwear and washing it, using the simplest form of biodegradable paper that only has to work for about 2 seconds. I remember when a former germaphobe housemate arrived home with sterile wipes and scented TP. She was thrilled. I told her that chemical-laden stuff wasn't touching my sensitive nether regions. Pretty ridiculous and paranoid when you think about it.

We use very thin septic safe tp. It leaves crumbs of paper behind when you wet it. I also can’t reach a faucet from the toilet, and I can’t hold wet toilet paper and my phone at the same time.

That’s why I use the Thayer’s witch hazel. It doesn’t seem to affect the tp as quickly as water. Can be stored on the back of the tank.

I use baby wipes to clean my dog's feet when she comes in from the yard (really only if it's a bit muddy or she's been digging). I have friends who use wipes to remove make-up. I use lotion and then witch hazel with cotton rounds for that, but whatever. I have used wipes for removing makeup too, but prefer the other method. But I never flush them. Wouldn't have entered my mind to do so.
Anyone who flushes anything other than bodily waste and toilet paper, needs to be the one that goes out in the yard next time the sewer line clogs, digs a three foot deep hole, punches a hole in the top of the clay tile pipe, runs a 100 foot steel snake to clean it out, rolls up the sewage-covered snake (you will pinch your fingers painfully at least three times while doing this), uses an abrasive hacksaw blade to cut the tile pipe on either side, installs a cleanout tee with rubber boots on either side, and fills the hole back up.
Do you have any idea how long it takes you to cut through a piece of clay tile sewer pipe, with an abrasive hacksaw blade, down at the bottom of a hole filled with mud and sewage, when you only have room to take a 3" stroke on the saw at a time?
If you're not willing to do that, then don't flush your nonsense materials down my toilet.
