Flushable wipes?

[ourbabygirl]

Just wondering if you know of any brands (either at a B&M store or available to purchase online) that sell flushable wipes?
I'm currently using Huggies, so that's the style I like (a little sturdier & not as soft as Pampers), so if there's anything kind of comparable, that would be great.

Thanks!

We use Kandoo wipes.

No! Don't use them!! When we were paying $80 to have the main drain of the house snaked (after nasty sewer water had backed up into our utility sink), the plumber said that they are just awful for drains and he is called to unclog them a lot. We had been using Kandoo ones, fwiw. The Kandoo ones rate pretty badly on Skin Deep, which I later learned.

I think Cottonelle makes flushable wipes, but I don't think they're for babies.

Flushable wipes are not as thick as regular ones and they're smaller, they break easily and I found I was using more because of that. So I just look for biodegradable ones but mostly use cloth wipes, since we CD. Also when we lived in Chicago and were using flushble wipes and occassionally gdiapers, there was a big clog in the building and it turned out it was because of the wipes and gdiaper inserts! I felt so bad.

It probably has a lot to do with your plumbing. DD1 used Kandoo wipes for over a year & we never had a plumbing problem in the 4+ years since.

We've been using them since older DD potty trained (so 6+ years) and never had an issue with them. I use whatever is on sale/cheapest.

We use the Cottonelle sometimes, but my younger is 2 1/2, so not a baby. We have never had a plumbing problem, even when using multiple wipes at once (up to four). Of course, now that I've typed this, I'll be calling a plumber tomorrow, I'm sure!

I haven't checked the Cottonelle on Skin Deep. Maybe I should do that.

We started with Kandoo but switched to Target Up and Up. So much cheaper!

They were way, way down in the house's master drain. They opened it up and literally started pulling out the wipes. They had just collected pretty far along in the system. They caused no flushing problems or other noticeable things for probably a year. Just something to be aware of.
