Answer 1

There are no rules about what you can or cannot say about your commercial wipes, flushable sells more than non.
Why are wipes bad?
Toilet paper breaks down when it gets wet, so it breaks down in your sewer system.
Wipes are designed to be strong when wet, so they don’t breakdown, instead they can clump together and cause blockages and other problems
