Re: sensitive question and one more

[Guest guest]

Hi Penny,

Just a heads up to let you know that we are on septic, too, and I

stopped flushing Cottonelle wipes since our plumbing got clogged up

by them. Of course, living in California we have low-flow toilets

with not as much pressure, so that might make a difference.

Cottonelle wipes are a great product, but can be a problem in the

loo.

Blessings,

Sue

Of course, living in California we have low-flow toilets >>>>>>>>>

most all new homes nationwide all have low flo toliets.....they are a joke

LOL We always end up flushing twice to get the dang things to go down!

(especially those huge piles of post opt poop!)

Are you speaking of cottonelle wipes or toliet paper clogging up the septic

system?

Hi Again, Judie,

When I asked my husband what the plumber said about our clogged up

lines, he said the guy told him there was a " whole bunch of cloth

thingies packed in the opening to the septic tank " and everything was

backed up behind them. It was definitely the Cottonelle wipes, not

toilet paper. Needless to say I was forbidden by both the guys from

ever putting them in the toilet again! I still use the wipes every

day and love them, I just wrap them in a lot of tissue and put them

in the trash. I use them for extra cleansing after I use tp, so

there isn't a lot of you-know-what on them to cause odor. I got

hooked on them after I had to have minor rectal surgery and have used

them ever since. And, yes, we do have to flush twice with our

wonderful low-flow toilets - so much for conserving water!

Blessings,

Sue

Hi Judie,

Actually, there isn't usually a problem with REAL low-flow toilets.

From what I understand, when our glorious leaders decided to mandate

the darn things, what most manufacturers did was to simply put a

smaller tank on the existing toilets, thus cutting down on the

pressure of the water in each flush. (Of course I found this out

after we had ours installed.) Real low-flow toilets operate on a

vacuum system and, although there is less water, there is more power

behind it to flush things down the line. Of course, I don't have the

REAL kind, so have to flush twice - just like everyone else who has

them! Which means we use just as much water as we used to. That's

government for you!

Blessings,

Sue

Thanks for the heads up, I sure don't need a backup here. LOL
