Cottonelle flushable wipes ruined our plumbing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Hard to reach Kimberly Clark and Cottonelle.
  • - Wipes flushable claims safety but damaged plumbing, caused sewage, and high repair costs.

Hello, Im writing because I am completely livid with The Kimberly Clark company. First and foremost its almost impossible to get in touch with anyone there or from Cottonelle.

We have used Cottonelle flushable wipes for approx 4 years. Prior to using them I had gone to their website to ensure it was actually safe to flush these flushable wipes. These wipes have literally ruined our plumbing and drain waste system. They have clogged up and stayed in our system for so long that our clean out waste pipe literally blew.

Raw sewage was pushed up through the clean out trap pipe out of the soil and grass. We have raw sewage and Cottonelle flushable wipes throughout our yard. I dont know if anyone can understand the gravity of having human *** and rotting wipes throughout your back yard. The stench is horrid, my partner and I are both disabled and on a very tight budget.

We had to dig *** and wipes up with shovels and rake *** and wipes out of our grass. The cost of repairing this in its entirety is astronomical. And every plumber and the city inspectors assured us that the wipes, although they say flushable, are what has caused this problem. Its disgusting and Im so upset because we trusted Kimberly Clark the makers of Cottonelle!

We believed them when they said, plumbers just dont know that there are different types of wipes, we assure you these are safe to flush.

I hope everyone will take note and not make the same mistake we did in trusting them. Sincerely, up to my ankles in *** and rotting flushable wipes.

Loss:
$12
Pros:
  • Smell nice and are gentle
Cons:
  • Not flushable will ruin your plumbing

Preferred solution: Cost to repair plumbing system!

User's recommendation: Don’t buy! Definitely not flushable!

This product is just about useless.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Used to be a great product. Now you can't even pull a sheet out of the container without it pulling apart, making them useless.

User's recommendation: Buy a different flushable wipe.

Cottonelle Wipes Less Quality

AI Highlights
  • - I have used Cottonelle wipes for years.
  • - They now fall apart and I am considering switching.
  • - I pay over $8 per pack and buy two 4-packs monthly.

I have been using Cottonelle wipes in my bathrooms for years. As of the last few months, the wipes fall apart, they do not tear right and are of less quality.

I normally buy two 4-packs twice a month.

I am thinking of switching products. Paying over $8 per pack and having the wipes fall apart is not worth it.

Loss:
$73
Pros:
  • Was good quality
Cons:
  • Now lower quality but no lower prices

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Don't buy this product until it is remedied.

Disappointment

AI Highlights
  • - Review says the toilet paper tube was enlarged and the old one fits inside the new, calls it deception, and may switch from Cottonelle.

I hope your company doesn't think people won't notice you enlarged your toilet paper cardboard tube. The old one fits inside the new one.

It would be more honest to raise the price a little bit than try to pull one over on the consumer. I have used Cottonelle for years, but I'm seriously considering switching brands because of this attempted deception.

Down there commercials

AI Highlights
  • - I have used Cottonelle products for years as a loyal customer.
  • - I will not buy Cottonelle anymore because the commercials are offensive.

Hi, in my family have been faithful cotton now purchasers for many years. That includes all of the Cottonelle products, toilet paper wipes, everything.

But I will no longer be purchasing any of these products from Cottonelle because of your disgusting down there commercials. Its been more than difficult trying to explain these commercials to my grandchildren. They are absolutely disgusting. I just wanted you to know why I will not be purchasing your products anymore.

Im only one person and it may not make any difference to you whatsoever, but I feel that I need to speak up when I see something that offends me, is untrue, or is mean spirited, unkind, or offensive. These are raunchy and totally unnecessary.

Pros:
  • Good product
Cons:
  • Disgusting

Preferred solution: Removal of the “down there” commercials.

User's recommendation: Let your feelings be known
