Why aren't baby wipers our default?

Got one off Amazon for $35....wifey's like, "meh"....I say, "30 days, you'll wonder where it's been all your life!"....8 days later, wifey, "When I go at work, I wonder why they don't have..."

So true

Did...did you say toilet paper?
He doesn't know how to use the three seashells!

I hope we never stop referencing this.

-
Because "flushable" wipes really aren't and they are mode of plastic?
-
Mine are plastic free and clearly fall apart in water
-
Do they come on a roll?
-
-
They felt like paper to me?

bidet is the only green way

Some years back I was introduced to the CuloClean (https://culoclean.com/) - a side squirting cap that fits most any narrow plastic bottle, e.g. dish soap bottles. Super portable, I take it camping.

Because toilet paper can be flushed, but baby wipes should go in a garbage bin?
-
My roommate refuses to acknowledge that key difference. I just hope I’m out of the apartment before it becomes my problem.
-
Being in an apartment, good chance it gets to the building-wide plumbing before clogging, and so wouldn't be traced back to you. Of course, that would still leave you (and the rest of the building) without plumbing for a while whenever it actually does clog

Until recently, baby wipes were largely non biodegradable
-
And they’re still non-flushable, despite what the package says.
Most baby wipes and similar materials aren’t designed to be flushed—“flushable” products like wipes do not readily disperse upon flushing and actually remain in a solid state while traveling through the sewer system. They may clog your pipes at home resulting in costly visits from your plumber. They may get caught in the public wastewater system, which can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to regional pumping equipment leading to higher sewer bills for us all. While many of these products might masquerade as “flushable” and “sewer friendly”, don’t be fooled!

Toilet wipes have led to an epidemic of what have been colloquially termed as turdbergs, which are vehicle sized piles of shit held together by baby wipes that refuse to actually biodegrade and have caused sewer and plumbing issues costing taxpayers and individuals millions of dollars.

This shit again? Pun intended. But JFC Lemmy is fucking obsessed with TP & bidets.
Mandatory PSA: Baby wipes clog up the plumbing system. Please don't flush those down a toilet. TP was designed to break down.

Right there with you.
Damn kids act like adults never considered it. Motherfucking kids go read some got-damn HISTORY once in a fucking while.
Neither existed for my grandparents.
-
I can only imagine the confusion your grandparents must have lived in, having neither toilet paper nor history.
-
People in the past had to put up with a lot of shit we don't have to today. Doesn't mean we shouldn't take advantage on modern luxuries. Your hemorrhoids will thank you.

PSA Kleenex Australia sells flushable wipes
Update: After extensive input from public wastewater bodies and industry experts including Kimberly-Clark Australia (the maker of Kleenex® Flushable Wipes), Standards Australia published a new, AU & NZ-specific, Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022). The Standard details clear testing criteria that need to be met for manufacturers to use a “flushable” label in accordance with the Standard.
We welcome the introduction of the new Standard and are proud to announce that Kleenex Flushable Wipes meet and exceed the requirements of the Australia/New Zealand Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022)
