Baby wipes for cleaning poop?

[Lyfer]

A friend of mine uses them with normal TP. Sounds like a brilliant idea, why let babies be the only ones with clean bottoms?

You're not supposed to flush baby wipes. They can and will block your system.

 

[Newbian]

Wouldn't it get kinda expensive?

Plus I don't think they are large enough for adults other then to use for the last wipe to use as a wet wipe.

Baby wipes are awesome for cleaning all types of messes, never ever ever ever dispose if them in the toliet.

Also, they aren't cheap...

He has a separate trash bin for them. Though if it were me I'd prolly accidentally flush them.

You can't flush them. Bad things will happen.

I used to have a pack of baby wipes sitting behind the toilet. Didn't really use them that often. It's a nice thing to have though.

Nonsense. Many baby wipes are "flushable" at this point and say so on the box. Been wiping + flushing them for years now and not 1 septic tank or pipe problem. Welcome to the club OP, might have taken you a while to come to the realization but at least you got there.

Better check that package before you start tossing them in the toliet, I'm reading a 100-pack of BJ's brand (Berkley & Jensen) unscented and it says do not flush in big letters..

No problems yet, famous last words. I had a co-worker who was bragging about never getting his septic pumped, for 20 years..6 months later shit literally backed up into his house..

Damn flushable ones nowadays? I might have to get them again then.

/shrug go for it. My coworker just had his whole system backed up and he spent a better part of his Saturday 2 weeks ago removing his toilet in the upstairs bathroom to find a baby wipe had gotten lodged in the pipes.

I had a problem where it completely backed up my sewage system as well on multiple occasions. It was just so disgusting. When I moved I never got more baby wipes because of it.

If they have somehow solved that though I'm all ears. Just keep in mind that if you're using a septic system you probably can't use them whether they're flushable or not.

You don't flush diapers either. Wipe with the baby wipes and throw it in the trash.

 

[KidNiki1]

just get the flushable ones. i first heard of this about 10 years ago when i guy i was dating used the kid wipes.

whatever works for ya.

Exactly and that's not even considering the cost.

I would not flush them either.

[amdhunter]

They should make flushable babies instead.

Clever and super easy to install but would this not be COLD on your ass? Then you still need to dry it. How about the risk of spilling water, shitty water that is, all over? Do you personally use it?

Oh and $20 more expensive in canada.

The cold water doesn't feel bad at all and actually is soothing. You will need to dry yes but mostly water so you don't need much tissue. No spillage at all. You can control the flow too but at highest nothing will spray out of bowl.

Yes tried it a few years ago and was blown away at how backwards Americans were without them. You will be cleaner than you ever thought possible w/o shower.

Kirkland baby wipes

They are good as a final cleanup for my furry dirty man arse.

I tried the cottenelles, i think the bulk pampers baby wipes are cheaper off bj or costco.. I think they're like 1400 for like 22 bucks, ill check again. Making it cheaper than cottonelles

I wouldn't try to flush these down even those they're flushable.. you end up clogging somewhere and your sol

Huggies unscented baby wipes and TP. Been doing this for myself for 18+years. Great combo. And I flush em. Never had an issue. I also live in a NYC co-op so I guess we have better septic systems than most burbs.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Start with TP, use 1-2 baby wipes at the end, finish with TP to dry up.

Wrap wipes in TP and toss in garbage bin or get a garbage bin with a lid. Make sure to empty your garbage regularly.

Or just get flushable wipes, but even then, don't go overboard with them.

My suite at Aria in Las Vegas had one of these installed in the master bath.

Yes, it's expensive, and installation of the wall-mounted control panel adds another layer of complication... but let me tell you, warm water washing, with circular motion, plus heated air drying and heated seat... it's almost worth it, and I have seriously considered buying one myself.
