I use TP and baby wipes. I'm crazy about keeping myself clean and I just don't feel like I've really done the job without wipes!

I agree. I have a septic tank system and we would NEVER dare flush baby wipes. They won't break down and the chemicals in them could kill the bateria in the tank - DON'T want that.

I usually don't like to use the statement "there's no way you can convince me otherwise", but in this case I feel it's appropriate. I can't even tear a baby wipe, so there's not much that will convince me that it will break down the way toilet paper does. Condoms, tampons and baby wipes do not belong in sewage and septic systems.

I often use special flushable wet tissues - they are similar to baby wipes, but they tear rather easily and are safe to flush as they break down easily. If I run out of them, then I will use baby wipes, but they are annoying to have to get rid of.
I can't just go with using only TP. Sometimes I'm lucky to time it right so my usual shower is straight after, but I still wet wipe too.

I'm surprised no one's yet mentioned using a bidet.

Knock on wood... I've never had a #2 that required a shower or anything more than TP lol.

Even people who work with septic don't always like every kind of tp. I know of one who says Scott tissue is the worst thing for you septic tank.

Personally I'm in the baby wipe category. I can't stand to think there might be a trace of fecal matter left behind by toilet paper *shudders*. And I also try to time it so I can take a shower, but of course that rarely works out. less

We're only human. I never got into the habit of using flushable wipes, always seemed like more waste than necessary.
