01

Why the pipe objects

Makeup wipes are designed not to fall apart during use, which lets them snag and braid with debris inside sewers.

02

Do this instead

Place every makeup wipe in the trash, even when the package uses flush-friendly language.

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.
