Most personal wipes are soaked in alcohol. Anyone using alcohol knows it dries out the skin and can cause irritation. Simpleaf Lavender Flushable Wipes 25 count in a 4 pack, on it's package claims not to use alcohol, just natural products that do not irritate the skin. They also claim they are completely biodegradable, and break down in your septic system. They indeed feel gentle and I've experienced no irritation and my skin is sensitive to chemicals, so a good thing. As far as flushing them? Not for me. I don't put anything besides a single ply tissue down my toilet.
