Still alive - you need to get all the way to the checkout page to see all discounts.
I've heard stories of these clogging up multiple 1HP macerating grinder pumps in retirement communities.
Do yourself a favor (and your municipality / septic system) if you really need to use wipes, buy cheaper non-flushable wipes and dispose of them properly.

Anything is "flushable" if your toilet is strong enough. Doesn't mean you should flush it...
Better yet, get a bidet 😉
Baby wipes, tissues, makeup wipes, paper towels and the sort should never go into the toilet. Period.
Some flushable disintegrate easily. Some don't. Many have been tested, which you can easily do a search for online. Test them yourself if you're still unsure.
Bottom line is that there is no need to cut out flushable wipes completely because of a few bad apples.
Just like all mushrooms are edible at least once.
There's no way to "test" your municipality's lines yourself and even some thicker toilet paper can clog older lines!

Here they recommend to "dispose of them in a sanitary way in a special garbage can, much like you'd store a soiled baby's diaper until trash day."
They also recommend not disposing of grease in the drains and to maintenance your main drain with the 5gal bucket of water in the upstairs toilet (I do this as well)

How to test your toilet paper, and it's NOT overnight in a bucket! Seriously, who leaves their shit and toilet paper stewing overnight before flushing?!
Read on and learn:
- Place 4 to 5 square pieces of toilet paper into a large jar or any clear container.
- Fill the jar about ¾ with water. Cover with a lid and shake vigorously for around 10 seconds. This is to mimic what actually happens to toilet paper after it is flushed down the toilet and makes its way through the pipes and into your septic tank.
- Observe. If the toilet paper has broken down into tiny pieces, it is a good indication that it is a viable choice for your septic system.
