We came home from camp this summer with thicker tissues and immediately had a sewer backup. A cousin of months later my son flushed a million flossers and it backed up again, and then shortly after again. The last time I wondered if it was because we were using different tissues than usual. And today it backed up again, after a few weeks of those same tissues.

I'm wondering (haven't had plumber yet) if will be something in the pipes again or its those tissues. We usually use laurel. Anyone know if those are really safe?

Keep a garbage can with lid for those flossers.

I'm not familiar with that company, but in general, tissues are NOT toilet safe.
It is recommended to use toilet paper.

Lol my son is 3... The garbage can was there he just thought toilet was nicer or something. I moved the flossers out of the bathroom.

Laurel is better for our system than Alpine. My mother has the same experience.
If you have a septic tank then I don't have enough experience to guide on that. I believe that can only handle toilet paper.
