Everyone is on his own to see if their toilet has enough water pressure to push this through the drain into main sewer line where there is river of water to flow them, if they are not dissolved, for recycling. If it clogs your toilet as many regular bath tissues, especially cottonnelle, also clog toilet regardless, then just for those not to flush. Simple as that. We don't need doomsday scenario narrators here

Sure, your high-pressure palace might yeet them into the wild blue yonder today. But downstream? That's where the party really sours. Those wipes team up with everyone else's "flushable wipes," plus grease and gunk, to form monster clogs called fatbergs, gigantic hairball-from-hell masses that jam pumps, burst pipes, and flood entire neighborhoods with sewage. We're talking millions in taxpayer-funded cleanup, raw sewage spilling into streets and rivers, and lift stations grinding to a halt like a bad sequel nobody asked for. Congrats, your "river of water" fantasy just became a community-wide enema bill.

- Kingman, Kansas, just last year: Flushed wipes caused a massive sewer main backup, forming a "fatberg" that snagged debris and cost thousands to clear.
- Michigan's 2018 whopper—a 100-foot fatberg of wipes, grease, and solids that choked a county sewer line.
- Even in 2025, experts like Consumer Reports are clear: These "flushable" labels are misleading; the wipes don't break down, clog pipes, and dump microplastics into waterways.
Your setup might push 'em through, but downstream, it's our shared pipes paying the bill (taxes) for repairs, backups flooding streets, and sewage spills nobody wants.Look, I respect the live-and-let-live vibe, but downplaying this as "just test your own toilet" spreads real misinformation that tricks folks into flushing stuff that wrecks shared systems. It's not doomsday, it's documented backups costing communities thousands. Your selfishness dumps the repair tab on all of us taxpayers when fatbergs form downstream. Not cool when your "experiment" floods the neighbor's basement or pollutes rivers.

"we don't need doomsday scenario narrators here."
No one is doomsdaying here. Here are some real-world examples:
