God no! lmao that's almost as bad as that podcast guy that admitted he'd catch his own poop and gently drop it in the toilet so it doesn't splash.

You can get plumbing-safe wet wipes (baby wipes, basically). They work perfectly well.

plumbing-safe wet wipes

That's usually a lie. But as long as it's a rent house, it's fine.

they also cause millions of dollars in damages by clogging large scale sewer lines

Oh yeah, definitely this. If it doesn't break down in water, it won't break down in the pipes.

What the actual fuck

There's no such thing as truly flushable wipes. They're the bane of plumbers everywhere... Actually more the bane of people having to pay the plumber bill at some stage. A quick google will confirm this.

Think of it... To be flushable they need to disintegrate in water. But they're wet wipes so they are always wet... Yet they're not disintegrating. Wipes which disintegrate in water is just toilet paper.
