  Just like anything in the world, toilets were made for one reason only and it is to withstand the human waste. But of course, we always tend to make mistakes and do the things that are not supposed to be done, including flushing harmful items down the toilet. But then, we start complaining about how it got clogged and ruined our bathroom floor. So after you recklessly threw many things in your toilet, it is time to stop in order to avoid dealing with the mess of a clogged toilet in the future. Remember that there is a trash bin for a reason.  
 

#1 – Cosmetic baby wipes

Plus, they could terribly damage the septic systems. The wipes don’t break down easily, which triggers a crisis in the sewer system of the country and causes damages in the million dollars pieces of equipments.  
 

#2 – Feminine hygiene products

#3 – Paper towels

  © Boxed It might be very tempting to toss a paper towel in the toilet, but that has no positive impact. Instead, it will cause many issues because they are made with more durable materials than toilet paper, which means they don’t break down quickly, so there is always a risk of them not flushing safely.  
 

#4 – Condoms

The condoms contain latex, and it is used to withstand pressure and fluid. So obviously, that will not dissolve on its own when thrown down the toilet.
