Plaintiff Arguments [Feb 5, 2010]

My husband uses flushable wipes and claims they changed his life. Well they also changed my life because they are clogging up our toilet. It doesnt happen right away but every fourth or fifth use seems to come flowing up instead of down. Im always lucky enough to get the one that backs-up. I asked him to either use the downstairs bathroom or stop using them and he says there is no way he can. I cant deal with the backups and the mess that comes with it. Please help Jury!

Defendant Arguments [Feb 5, 2010]

Women simply do not understand the effectiveness of the baby wipe. Unless they are neanderthals with a hairy bum, they do not know the comfort and cleanliness that a moist wipe can provide. The wipe has provided a solution to an age old problem and is worth any amount of inconvenience.

Our toilet has had problems long before the flushable wipe was introduced. It is being blamed chiefly because it is the first thing that is pulled up when plunged. Why? Because it does not dissolve as quickly as tp. However, it is not the cause of the backup.

Why should I be relegated to using anything other than my master bathroom and the comfort that my wipes provide?

describe "flushable wipe"

Runs- If you have not tried a flushable wipe you are missing out and need to hit your nearest grocery store immediately if not sooner. The flushable wipe is a moist towelette used for clean your bottom. It provides the user with the ability to have that just-out-of-the-shower feeling that you cannot achieve with paper.

I agree. There is no substitute for baby wipes.

man if you use baby wipes you have a vagina, aparantly even those with vaginas disagree so shit it and use paper like people with a "regular" asshole

flushable wipes, youre a disgrace

Zooks I concur, but I almost voted against you because your wife has such an interesting avatar which was kind of distracting me... I think she's using it on purpose. Just saying. Flushable wipes rule and they're flushable... It says it right there in the name.

Baby wipes are the greatest thing in the world and once you use them, you cannot go back. Get a new toilet if you have to! Or throw them in the trash.

To quote a friend "baby wipes are like chapstick for your asshole."

Zooks, hire a plumber and get the thing fixed so she'll quit bitchin about the loo!

Holy Crap! I would have expected intense mockery from the (sometimes) macho jury who frequently tell male litigants to 'man up' and take it. However, much to my surprise... many of the normally loud jurors admit to using wetwipes on their delicate tushy? Really? Does it also leave a nice fresh spring-time scent leaving you feeling fresh as a daisy?

you put lube on your asshole? Really? To quote another case "that is gay".

A grown man using baby wipes ?, is this real ? Years ago people used newspaper and pages from magazines, man up.

Taking a chance of the toilet getting clogged and overflowing is crazy. I'd say to compromise and continue to use the wipes but throw them in your bathroom trash can (of course, it must be a trash can with a lid).

...if you don't have room for a bidet, you can get bidet that attaches to the top of any standard sized toilet for $200+. Cheaper in the long run, no more clogs, hygienic and kinder to the environment than wipes.
