Why aren’t baby wipers our default?
Because toilet paper can be flushed, but baby wipes should go in a garbage bin?
My roommate refuses to acknowledge that key difference. I just hope I’m out of the apartment before it becomes my problem.
Being in an apartment, good chance it gets to the building-wide plumbing before clogging, and so wouldn’t be traced back to you. Of course, that would still leave you (and the rest of the building) without plumbing for a while whenever it actually does clog
Flushable paper based wet wipes exist
Proof or gtfo; being labelled ‘flushable’ is not proof, they are lying
Tested against Australian standards for flushing AS/NZS 5328:2022

Very US-centric problem, we solved this in Australia
Update: After extensive input from public wastewater bodies and industry experts including Kimberly-Clark Australia (the maker of Kleenex® Flushable Wipes), Standards Australia published a new, AU & NZ-specific, Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022). The Standard details clear testing criteria that need to be met for manufacturers to use a “flushable” label in accordance with the Standard.
We welcome the introduction of the new Standard and are proud to announce that Kleenex Flushable Wipes meet and exceed the requirements of the Australia/New Zealand Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022)
