Disposable wipes are not intended to be flushed and yes, they can clog the plumbing system. Unless the wipes are specifically intended to be flushed, do not assume your incontinence wipes are flushable. If they are, it will be clearly indicated on the product label. Flushing incontinence wipes or baby wipes down the toilet can cause blockage and require a plumber to fix. In some cases, it can even be a pretty costly repair. To prevent such an issue, never flush your incontinence wipes. Instead, dispose of them in the trash or in a leakproof, odor-proof trash bag to keep your home garbage from developing unpleasant smells.
