01

Why the pipe objects

These products absorb liquid, expand and do not disintegrate like toilet paper.

02

Do this instead

Wrap used products and place them in a lined trash bin, following package directions.

03

Already did it?

Do not flush again. If the bowl rises, gurgles or drains slowly, stop using the toilet and call a plumber.
