Default Septic System Question

Hello,

As a firm believer that the definition of true happiness is a well
working septic system, let me please ask this:

Have always used Scott toilet tissue.

Wife wants now to change to Cottonelle brand.
(please don't ask why)

Implication is that it has cotton fibers.


Implication, in this case, being erroneous.
"Is Cottonelle® Toilet Paper made with any recycled fiber?
No, it is made with virgin wood fibers."

I believe that I read somewhere years ago that this stuff doesn't break
down, and is bad for septic systems.

Anyone have any experience with, or opinions on ?
Would hate to mess up system.


The volume of paper will have more to do with creating a problem than
the type.
