I've read that the controversy re: flushable wipes is a case of mistaken identity, both on the part of consumers (who might assume all wipes are flushable) and sanitation engineers (misidentifying baby wipes etc as flushable ones, which should be way disintegrated). If wipes marketed as flushable were such a clear and direct problem, the iron-clad lawsuits would have wiped (heh) them off the market by now. If you're super bored, you can watch videos of flushable wipes being tested. They disintegrate quickly, as designed.
