Quick answer
To introduce flushable wipes to your bathroom routine, start by choosing a gentle, truly flushable wipe, then use it after each bathroom visit for a more thorough clean. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and only flush the recommended amount.
Why switch to flushable wipes?
Many people find that using flushable wipes provides a more refreshing and effective clean compared to dry toilet paper alone. They can be especially helpful for sensitive skin or during travel when you want a quick, convenient refresh.
Important considerations before you start
Not all wipes labeled "flushable" are created equal. Some may not break down properly, leading to plumbing issues. Look for wipes made with plant-based cloth and water, like Little Flushables, which are designed to be gentle and break down in the system. Also, be mindful of your local plumbing system; older pipes may still be sensitive.
How to add flushable wipes to your routine
- Choose the right wipe: Select a wipe that is specifically labeled as flushable and made with materials that break down easily. Check for certifications or claims like plant-based or water-based. Not all flushable wipes are safe for all plumbing; always check the package for flushability claims and local guidelines.
- Use one wipe per use: After using the toilet, take one wipe and use it to clean yourself. Gently wipe from front to back to avoid irritation. Discard the wipe into the toilet. Avoid using multiple wipes at once to prevent clogs. One wipe is usually sufficient for a thorough clean.
- Flush only the wipe: Flush the used wipe immediately. Do not flush the wipe with other items like paper towels or feminine products. Only flush the wipe and toilet paper. Never flush wipes that are not labeled as flushable, and never flush multiple wipes at once. This is the most common cause of plumbing issues.
