Are we talking hand/baby wipes, or the booty wipes? Bc I use a ton of those


Baby wipes/flushable wipes are one in the same.

It doesn't quickly break down like typical TP.

I wonder what they dive in?

If it was me, I would need something resembling a spacesuit. Air/liquid tight.

In India



quote:

The 'sewer diver' from Delhi, India, is paid a measly £3.50 a day to wallow in filth unclogging the city's drains. Devi, 43, is provided with a bottle of bootleg booze to dull his senses before he begins his odious chore.

I have some friends that are engineers for sewer departments. This is absolutely nothing remotely new and routine for them. Not even sure why it’s a story?

Because there's a group of people out there that hate flushable wipes.

Indeed. I haven't used a single Cottonelle since I had the inspiration to sit on the edge of my tub and use the handheld shower as a bidet for final cleanup. It was life-changing.

Not quite. There is a definite difference in thickness.

This, however, is true.

Adult Wet Wipes that are supposedly flushable. They aren't.



Were they flushed down the toilet? Then they were flushable. That's where these companies get people. People need to learn to look for bio-degradable




$10 says that Nokia still works
