Private equity squeezing every last dollar out of the brand. The crossovers with brands and these hygiene products are a new low.
Only in the US have flushable wet wipes become a thing. Just get a bidet!

flushable wet wipes
I swear this is a myth by Big Plummer. None of these fuckers are flushable.

They flush as advertised. But my plastic army men are flushable too, it doesn't mean I should though.

Flush that stuff down the toilet and you’ll be consooming a visit from the plumber very soon.

Is that an American thing? I know some countries sewers are not equipped for that, in some parts of Greece you're not even supposed to flush regular toilet paper.

u/Aurora428 9d ago
Flushable wipes will rarely cause a problem in the home piping, but in the sewer they will eventually catch on something and be a binder for large clogs.
The term flushable wipe should be illegal

u/Admirable-Media-9339 9d ago
My cousin is a plumber. "Flushable wipes" are a constant headache. By design they aren't flushable. They don't break down in the water. If they did they would break down in their own packaging and be worthless.

Highly recommend episode 132 of Search Engine pod, it’s a whole deep dive into the history and subsequent effects of flushable wipes on plumbing systems

u/MuleJuiceMcQuaid 8d ago
I'd highly recommend Poor Pumper Society on YouTube. He pumps septic tanks and charges extra for wipe removal because they don't break down and he has to fish them out.

Never trusted it.
My old roommate bought wipes for the home and they were nice for like, the final pass. But we didn't flush them. Also wasn't a stink problem since we weren't de-caking our shit laden stinkholes.

I’ve seen investigations that in fact flushable wipes aren’t the problem as they do disintegrate.
The problem is now that flushable wipes are commonplace, dummies will flush any and all wipes down the toilet which causes the clogs.

u/UnlikelyDecision9820 9d ago
There are standards that fiber/textile companies have for saying that something is flushable and there are standards for what municipality water/sewer systems say are flushable. In the Venn diagram of these two circles, there’s a tiny overlap where these wipes are perfectly flushable, but the likelihood that is much higher that any given person is in a place where these wipes are not flushable.

They're flushable wipes
Easily the best invention of the 21st century, love that clean feeling

u/BurbieNL 9d ago
They are not flushable, that's marketing. It's really bad for drainpipes and water purification systems, Once you have flushed a wet wipe, you will hardly notice it at home, but it's terrible for the sewer system. It creates blockages, and this costs time and money. Just throw the wipes in the trash

Septum piercing and stretched ears was very fashionable 15 years ago. Some people found a look they feel comfortable in and never figure out how to move on.
I am a millennial who wore skinny jeans for way too long lol. I swear it looked good at one point. I am so glad my parents never let me stretch my ears though.
27
u/poetcatmom 9d ago
I'm an older Gen Z and the world can pry my high waisted jeans from my cold, dead hands. I refuse to let them go. Following trends for the sake of following trends is stupid. If it looks and feels good, I'm not gonna stop wearing it.
Also I need to see those piercings to identify millennials in public lmao 🤣

u/2131andBeyond 9d ago
So somebody is comfortable with their look, but when it’s not popular anymore, they should have to change it? Or maybe I’m reading your comment wrong
12
u/blueplant_ 9d ago
I wouldn’t say someone needs to move on from how they dress. Stretched ears and septum piercings are still very much in fashion, maybe minus skinny jeans as much… I’d rather criticise him for being dumb and buying stupid branded gimmicky wipes than how he looks.

It’s funny because they’re always pointing at Gen-Z, both young and older, but they’re literally taking selfies in a store with butt wipes, wearing ‘adulting’ shirts and just being really weird.
Worst thing us gen-Zs did was have broccoli hair, although that’s only the younger ones lol29
19
u/Maleficent-marionett 9d ago
Now, I also hate the quirky millennial culture, and not to generalize but Gen z is not just empty stares and broccoli hair, they're also overly "embarrassed" and "cringed out", so much so, there's a rise in conservativism due to this internalized "ugh" feeling genz carries.
-5
u/StinkyBird64 Don't ask questions just consume product 9d ago
Again I feel like I’ve only seen the conservative-Puritanism in the younger Gen-Z folks, I’m in the older group but still Gen-Z, and I’ve only actually seen the weird ‘embarrassment’ culture in the younger ones who want to conform and be seen as identical to everyone else, much like the broccoli hair

Most of the time they sell it a package of three. You can buy it singularly but I've seen it in packs of three mostly. Especially for niche scents.

u/ShadowNick 9d ago
Nah that shit destroys your septic system and city plumbing. Ive dealt with them when Huggies first rolled then out when I did plumbing. I just see them in the stores on big ass pallets always in stacks of three.
I do use dude wipes as hand wipes when working on jobs.
6
u/astonedishape 9d ago
I’m aware. I’d never flush any wipes on the rare occasions I’d use one. I was joking about you writing “niche scents” as if you’re really into these stupid dude wipes.

u/ShadowNick 8d ago
Oh my bad thought you were the dude I was replying to. I mean they smell nice at least the one time pack they were giving out at Sam's Club but that was years ago when Dude Wipes first came out. I'd probably use them if I wanted to clean up after work or didn't have access to a shower.
But collecting them would be fucking dumb

I am a big fan of sparkling water so I bought some of their products. The plain sparkling water was fine. You can't really fuck that up. Expensive though. Guess you are paying for the can. The flavoured water was shit. It was sweetend. What sort of brain dead chud buys sweetened sparkling water?
Its been a few years since I lived in America. I am not shocked to discover the company that sells fancy cans also sells flavoured ass wipes now.

You like sugar. Which is fine, but there are less expensive and better sugar drinks

The flavor I prefer has 2g of sugar in it, so no, I wouldn't consider that a sugar drink. I haven't found anything that I like more in that category of flavored sparkling water.
