Can flushable wipes really be thrown directly down the toilet? A scientific analysis of the m

1. Differences in materials and formula design
Base fabric material
Disposable toilet flushing wipes: mainly made of virgin wood pulp (accounting for ≥70%), made by wet spunlace process, the fibers are soft and flushable
Ordinary wipes: mostly non-woven fabrics (containing polyester or polypropylene fibers), with a hard texture and non-degradable, easy to clog the toilet
Liquid ingredients
Disposable toilet flushing wipes: only contain EDI pure water or RO pure water, partially add plant extracts such as aloe vera and chamomile, avoid disinfectants Ordinary wipes: may contain alcohol, fragrances, chemical detergents

2. pH value and vaginal mucosal safety
pH value matching Disposable toilet flushing wipes: designed to be weakly acidic (pH 3.8-4.5), consistent with the healthy vaginal environment (pH 3.8-4.4), to avoid disrupting the balance of the flora
Ordinary wipes: pH values ​​are mostly neutral or weakly alkaline (such as pH 5.0-7.0), which may increase the vaginal pH value and induce bacterial vaginitis

3. Comparison of cleaning power and usage scenarios
Cleaning effect
Wet toilet paper: moderate water content (about 68%), can fit the perianal folds, and efficiently remove fecal residues. Ordinary wet wipes: too high water content, the skin is moist after wiping and needs to be dried again, and residual moisture is easy to cause eczema.

4. Applicable people and scenarios
Wet toilet paper:
Female menstrual period: can dissolve menstrual blood clots and reduce the risk of inflammation.
Hemorrhoid patients: relieve burning sensation and avoid dry wiping pain.
Travel/public toilet: portable package can be directly flushed without contacting dirty environment
