If you can’t flush them, why are they called “flushable”?

Most people posting here have it wrong. There are flushable wipes that are actually flushable. Cottenelle makes some nice one and there are many other brands. Never flush baby wipes! Or their equivalent. You can tell the difference by trying to tear them, or do the most pertinent test of leaving them in a bowl of water overnight. Flushable wipes dissolve just like paper. Maybe a little slower but only a few hours slower, not several years slower like baby wipes.
