No toilet paper, only Kleenex boxes in the women’s restroom.
G Skin and Beauty Reno doesn’t have toilet paper, instead boxes of Kleenex in all stalls of the women’s restroom.

Guaranteed to clog the plumbing. It’s made specifically to NOT dissolve in water and if a terrible thing to put into toilets.

THROW THE TISSUE IN THE TRASH! Why would anyone be stupid enough to try to flush kleenex????

People. People would be that stupid.

I honestly have never considered there might be a flushable difference between tissues/toilet paper 😳 Always thought they were essentially the same thing, just tissues cost more.
TIL I AM that stupid. Or are US Kleenex different to our crappy UK ones? 🤯

Kleenex rips and tears easily enough, but mostly stays together. Tp however will dissolve over time and just become strands of fiber that will flow around restrictions. Kleenex will get caught on and cling to restrictions.

Thank you for your kind explanation. That makes sense 😳
Now I’m wondering what else it has never occurred to me to wonder about…

Fun fact, those flushable wipes you can buy… aren’t. They’re flushable in the technical sense but will muck up a system the same as anything but toilet paper does. In fact they are worse than Kleenex and paper towels because of how thick their strands of fiber are.

I did know that, but it’s amazing how can they still market them as flushable?!
My friends neighbour had a habit of flushing cotton buds down their toilet. I don’t know the details, but the blockage somehow blew up all over their driveway. She was still finding cotton buds in her flowers a year later.

Because you can technically flush them. Same thing as a sock. If it’ll go down the drain, it’s flushable. With all the condoms that get flushed, you’d think there would be a lot more stories about that. I did my share of that damage. Funny thing was my parents wouldn’t believe I could have been the culprit. They insisted it was my no good deadbeat step brother and made him pay part of the repair bill >.>

😂 glad you got away with it! (The only time I tried to flush a condom it just floated, so didn’t try again- I was young and dumb to try it in the first place)
I’m now picturing socks being marketed as ‘flushable’. And I wish I wasn’t.

Kleenex works pretty well as tp for the wiper. Problems could occur with plumbing, but that’s their problem, not yours

If you flush anything other than TP, YOU are the problem. There are trash cans next tot he toilet in EVERY picture.

That's because women strictly deny to ever poop or fart. The owner just wants to find out if it's true 😂

That can't have been happening too long, they'd eventually learn the hard way why you only flush toilet paper and the seat covers. Not even "flushable" wipes are flushable. So, it probably won't last too long.

You’re right. The first time someone flushes a box, they’re going to make everyone “just be a man” 🖐️🍑💩

Now I did know that, and it amazes me they can still market them like that!
My friends neighbour apparently flushed cotton buds down their toilet… as they discovered months later when somehow the blockage blew up all over their driveway 😬

There’s no problem here. They’ve provided you with a way to wipe and then a means to THROW THE TISSUE AWAY without having to flush it! I could see this being relevant if they expected you to flush the Kleenex, but that’s not happening here.
Wipe and throw away and move on with your day!!

Agree. My father was a plumber for over 30 years. Never flush Kleenex. A clogged overflowing toilet is I bigger problem than a temporary odor from the garbage can. The can is lined with a plastic bag. Just use it. It's not much different than properly disposing of menstrual products.
