Many people just use normal wipes without getting the flushable kind, as they are much more expensive:
Flushable Wipes 42ct for $6.27
vs
Non Flushable wipes 72ct for $2

The wipes need much longer than 10 minutes to start breaking down, which is all they gave it in the consumer report video linked earlier in the thread. According to cottonelle, it took 35 min before they started breaking down. Which is completely acceptable, just like leaves can't be biodegraded in 10 minutes doesn't make using them as compost a sham either. It's probably just due to people being cheap/not giving a fuck about the right kind. There's no proof that the wipes seen are flushable, as if they broke down all you would see is the non flushables bunching up. I highly doubt that the same people dumping used cooking oil down the drain are spending 3-4x the price on going out of their way to buy flushable wipes, instead of just assuming they're all the same shit.

Don't you still wipe first though?

Absolutely, but I only wipe once or twice to dislodge the larger caked bits, and leave the cleaning up to Poseidon. I've never had the problem of tissue-burn that so many people complain about; and I buy the cheapest value toilet paper too. :I

One money-saving monolithic wipe, and then I soap and douse my crack with pressurized shower water, sanitizing it fully and thereby eliminating the need for vigorous chafing paper-scrub.
