Flushable wipes for adults are just baby wipes under a different name and thus they are able to charge more for them. I have for many years have used baby wipes after using the loo. Am paranoid about body odours. |

I suppose manufacturers get away with it because 'flushable' simply means it will disappear when we flush - out of sight, out of mind :-| |

The first time I went to France, I was about 10 (a school trip) and we had a bidet in the bathroom. We all thought 'how civilized' to provide a very useful foot bath :-D |

Cooper, surprised that this is the first time you have seen these on a CC site. They have been around for ages. One site we visit (not a club site) which has a soakaway has had them for over 20 years. And they are also at the Elsan points on many sites. |

Perhaps its time "Bidets" were fitted as standard in all Houses and Flats, or those without them updated. |

We had trouble twice a few years ago with the whole of the drain run being blocked up for about ten houses. Rodding the drains for each house revealed someone was putting disposable nappies down the loo. Only one house around the corner had a young child but the lady denied it was her. Well it couldn't have been anyone else as none of us had children at that time .All the houses clubbed together to pay the bill but the second time it was presented to the said lady and she was told its your bill. |

In several parts of Spain, & I believe other Mediterranian countries, the drains won´t even take ordinary loo paper. |

We had a blockage in the cul de sac drains and it was found to be caused by wipes. We asked our neighbour as she had grandson to stay a lot and she was using the children's ones for him,. The Anglian Water chap said it's a problem that's on the increase. The companies who produce these wipes and call them flushable should be made to pay the bills for the pipes to be cleared out, and shown the evidence! |
