01

Why the pipe objects

Diapers are designed to absorb and expand while staying intact. They cannot move through household plumbing safely.

02

Do this instead

Contain waste as directed, roll the diaper closed and place it in the trash according to local rules.

03

Already did it?

Do not flush again. If the diaper is still visible, do not force it deeper; call a plumber before the toilet overflows.
