01
Why the pipe objects
Facial tissues are formulated to stay together when wet and do not disperse as quickly as toilet paper.
02
Do this instead
Put used Kleenex and other facial tissues in a lined trash bin.
03
Already did it?
Do not flush again to test your luck. If the bowl rises, drains slowly or gurgles, stop using the toilet and call a plumber before it overflows.
