Didn't know how many of us here like to have fresh butts.

Am I the only one that's annoyed by this commercial? after a few recent bouts w/either food poisoning or massive general GI issues, I can honestly say that yes, this product is a necessity. having never used it (or any similar products) as an adult, I spent a couple days where I deliberately chose to forego solid food because it meant less pain later on. |

What I think is weird, is that they're now being marketed as an adult product. DH has had baby wipes in the bathroom for decades. We buy Huggies at Costco. My youngest child is 11. She was 5 when DH and I started living together. It took me a while to get used to buying/having them in the house again. I don't use them often, but(t  when I do, I must admit it's a lot easier. I wonder which is cheaper: Huggies or the "adult" versions. DH won't let me buy the Kirkland version. It's one of the few Kirkland products that are not up to par with the brand name. |

No idea if he is just a heathen that is overly concerned with plumbing at the expense of his tender tushie, but my septic guy warned us against them.  He said not only to buy only certain kinds of tp (some brands dissolve more quickly than others - even Consumer Reports makes notes of that in their reviews for septic owners), but never, ever use any other products advertised as "flushable." He said they do flush but take years and years to actually dissolve, so they accumulate and clog the lines in the leach field. He was a little gleeful when he talked about how many more jobs he gets replacing leach fields now (multi - thousands of dollar jobs) that companies now market "flushable" products. So although they sound quite nice, we haven't tried them. Now I feel a little deprived. |

The joys of city living and having sewer instead of a septic! ;D
They are quite nice when you get food poisoning and end up in the bathroom 20 times in one day. Or when months of high doses of NSAIDs destroy your GI balance.

I hope I never have to have a septic system! It will be bad enough having to live without a bidet...then to take my adult butt wipes away from me too? That is cruel!

You can still use them you just can't flush them. Just like when the kids were young and we used regular wet wipes on them and threw them out. It isn't as convenient but I keep a little can with a plastic liner next to the toilet and throw them in there. It gets taken outside every few days or if someone has one that looks like it should be outside. A new septic system would cost us at least $15,000 at least and swamp said hers would more.  |

No idea if he is just a heathen that is overly concerned with plumbing at the expense of his tender tushie, but my septic guy warned us against them. If you have a septic, absolutely do NOT use them (or at least don't flush them), unless you want to replace your system after the drain field clogs up. They're absolutely horrible, and I can't imagine they're great for regular plumbing/waste water treatment plants either. |

We have a package on the back of every toilet. Best invention ever IMO (we also use the Kirkland brand). Think about it - when you are changing a baby's poopy diaper would you use dry TP? No, because the wipes do such better job. Same with adult bottoms.  The wipes are also good for a quick toilet wipe down when I see my son hasn't been watching his aim so well. Much easier to grab a wipe, clean a surface and flush it away than to go get my bucket of cleaning supplies. |

Ok, well I hope my baby's butt looks a lot different than mine after a poop....I hope I don't have it all smooshed against my backside and in all the crevices....if I do....I've done a good job not noticing it.  Apparently Im missing out on something. I agree that they're good when you have GI issues...luckily, my IBS shows up only every few months. |

So Archie, do you leave the package in the office bathroom? Or walk proudly down the hallway holding the package? Or hide one in your hand on the way to the pooper?

Various (I wanted to say, depends, but I thought that might give the wrong impression). I have been getting better on recent vacations, but I bring chocolate exlax with me. If I don't go in the first few days I start chowing down until I feel some movement. |
