Is it okay to flush used bottom wipes down the toilet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Examine package: Items to be flushed will indicate on the packaging that this is safe. It really is a matter of the looseness of the structure of the material. Most 'bottom wipes' are designed to safely go into the sewage system.
