01
Why the pipe objects
Paper towels are made to stay strong when wet, which is exactly what you do not want inside a drain line.
02
Do this instead
Put used paper towels in the trash or compost only if your local program accepts the material and what is on it.
03
Already did it?
Do not keep flushing. If the bowl rises or drains slowly, stop using the toilet and call a plumber before it overflows.
