What to do if you accidentally flush a wipe?
While there is always the possibility of a single wipe clogging your toilet, it is unlikely. If you accidentally flushed one and do not see an immediate issue, don’t panic. If you can fish it out, do so; if you can’t, keep an eye on the issue and try not to do it again.
What did I drop in the toilet when I flushed?

Can a toilet paper roll be the problem?
