Cottonelle's wipes meet the IWSFG's standards for flushable products. They didn't always, and the change to their wipes was part of a settlement related to damaging a treatment plant in Charleston SC. But at this point they are actually legitimately safe for sewage systems.

It does seem that they're the exception though.
That’s good to know, thanks, especially since I do buy Cottonelle for spot washing. I’ve never flushed them, but it’s nice to know they’re not obnoxious like the rest.
