This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

When tested, there are big differences. None perform quite as well as normal toilet paper, but some perform closely. Cottonelle was the top rated in that test and broke down quite similarly to regular toilet paper. There are many brands of 100% cellulose biodegradable flushable wipes.

If there were standards, testing, labeling, and laws regarding this, it wouldn't be an issue.
