There's no such thing as flushable wet wipes. They might not clog your particular pipes but they do not break down in water. They can't because then they wouldn't be able to be wet. They contribute to massive clogs in the sewer systems that people have to go down and break up honestly it should be illegal to sell them

It shouldn't be illegal to sell wet wipes (I assume you meant the flushable variety), just make it illegal to flush it down

it should probably be illegal to falsely advertise them as "flushable"
