Dispersion
Dispersion Dispersion describes how a wipe loses structure and separates in water movement after flushing. It is one of the most important ideas behind responsible flushable wipe design. Plain-language definition A wipe disperses when the sheet breaks down into smaller pieces under water and agitation instead of staying as one strong cloth-like sheet. Better dispersion helps the material move through the wastewater path more responsibly when the wipe is flushed as directed. Plushwipes testing context Plushwipes breaks down like toilet paper - third-party slosh box tested. Plushwipes achieved 100% mean dispersibility after 30 minutes; a leading national toilet paper brand achieved 98.13% under the same conditions. Plushwipes also passed IWSFG PAS3 and GD4 flushability testing. Dispersion is not a magic promise A test result does not mean every plumbing system behaves the same way. Pipe condition, toilet type, sewer age, septic maintenance, and flushing multiple wipes at once can change real-world outcomes. That is why Plushwipes gives clear use guidance: flush one wipe at a time. Why shoppers care People searching for flushable wipes often want to know whether wipes break down, whether they clog toilets, and whether they are different from baby wipes. The key difference is design intent and testing. Baby wipes and cleaning wipes are not designed to disperse after flushing and should not be flushed.
