Question 1

Has anyone else notice difference in the recent batch of wipes--in terms of texture and smell?

Accepted Answer

YES!  Last two monthly subscriptions from Amazon (April & May 2019) have been different.  The package now has a harder plastic flap on it which isn’t too big of deal except possibly being non-recyclable (not sure but I put them in with the plastic bags recycling).  But the BIG change is the smell - musty or something hard to describe.  In April I thought maybe they had sat outside my house in the heat for a day but then again in May means something changed!  We used them to wash our hands sometimes and it leaves a musty smell on hands plus imagine on baby’s diaper area... This is SO disappointing because we have ordered a case of these every month for 5.5 years now!

Question 2

Can they be flushed?

Accepted Answer

You should never flush wipes, whether they are marked flushable or not.   The proof can be found in any plumbing industry chat room.  If you are staying in some night and need something to do, just browse through the plumbing industry chat rooms online. You will notice the word “softball” coming up quite a lot when describing clogs that are caused by a multitude of disposable wipes. Extracting these plugs from can be very costly and yet often necessary in your home drain pipes if you insist in flushing disposable wipes. But it dose not stop there, many cities are experiencing sewage clogs from disposable wipes. Many cities have been reporting a significant rise in sewage system clogs directly related to flushable wipes. Because this causes an increase in maintenance costs, they have requested that residents not flush them down the toilet. Some cities have placed disposable wipes high  on their list of “debris” that causes the majority of their sewage system backups. To help combat this situation the cities are now starting to pass laws making it illegal to flush wipes.

Question 3

How is this $.03 per wipe of there 120 wipes total and it’s $19??

Accepted Answer

the advertisement is 180 wipes (3x60) = 0.1125 per wipe. Something is definitely wrong with the calculation

Question 4

Does the whole box expire in four weeks?

Accepted Answer

Funny you should ask - I wondered that too when I purchased them in October of 2013 - the answer is NO! They do not all expire in four weeks. My individual packages all have expiration dates of August 2014. Although, for something like this, I agree with Anthony A. the dates are not really relevant as long as they stay wet. B
