Me: fatberg! http://www.ediblegeography.com/sewer-watch/

Ciro: Horrifying

Me: I like that wet wipes are in there as a big problem! I had no idea, but it makes sense: they are cloth/filters that don't break down when wet and occasionally impregnated with solvents.

PS a lot of commercials on now trying to say that you should use wet wipes along with toilet paper every time you go to the bathroom, in a shameless attempt to make women buy more wet wipes. (All these ads targeted at women.)

Very douchey.

Ciro: Guh. Muh.

Me: Normally they involve one woman shaming another woman, being let down because the toilet isn't properly stocked. Oh you bad hostess, bad, horrible person.

I have literally never known anyone who uses wet wipes in this way, or if they do they are doing it extra sneaky

but I guess people are doing it extra sneaky! because fatberg

Old ladies of my acquaintance are very keen on the wet wipe thing. I feel that if it is that big an issue, a bidet or washlet should probably be employed.

I know a lot of parents who use the wet wipes for small children who are mostly toilet-trained. I'm told they're really useful that way.

Yes, the busy baby-changing parent on the go was the original market for these things, but the marketing monster is never satisfied, and of course for some reason it is perfectly acceptable to run television advertising telling women that they are unclean, unhygienic, and incompetent at wiping their own bottoms.

I have yet to see an ad of this kind targeting uncircumcised men.
