Fluff Poll: Gross or Not?

I don’t know if I would use them, but a package of them wouldn’t gross me out.

Don’t we hear time and time again that flushable wipes aren’t actually flushable?
I don’t consider it “gross” but not necessary.

Is it gross because more than one person will touch the wipes?

To me, it’s the idea that someone has to dig for one in the package (they’re hard to get out), then they wipe their ass, then if they go back in for another one 🤢 You got errrybody’s poop up in there.

It’s how much you have to touch the package and dig inside the package for me.

good for people, bad for toilets

It wouldn't bother me seeing a package of them.

Personally, back when I had the need for them, I keep my personal items (pads, panty shields, etc...) in a cosmetic bag in my purse and took the cosmetic bag or my purse with me into the restroom. 
I wouldn't leave packages of personal items in the restroom for everyone to help themselves, for financial reasons. Happy to give and item or two, if an unexpected arrival happens but I am not going be the supplier of feminine and personal bathroom items in the workplace restroom.

Not gross.
You're in a toilet - that's the designated space for people to deal with their bodily/waste functions. It's going to have germs in it by default.
That's why people are supposed to wash their hands properly when they leave.
Seeing or using a packet of wipes in there is no more gross than toilet paper, or touching the taps, or open the sanitary waste bin.
You aren't going to 'catch' anything or get sick, unless you touch all of those things and then lick your fingers.
Germs don't leap out at you and cause life threatening infections. In most cases they are just general bacteria that everyone has anyway.
Do what you have to do, then thoroughly wash your hands...and these days pretty much everywhere also has hand sanitizer available...so use that as well if you want to be extra cautious.

All this "gross" about normal bodily functions - here's a shocker, everyone has them, and everyone has to deal with them, and if there happens to be a couple of e-coli that aren't yours on a surface, it really isn't the end of the world, and you won't die - just wash your hands properly.

Neither gross nor not gross. Not flushable though which means poopy wipes are going to be sitting in a container. So, maybe a little gross smelling

Not gross. But we don't flush them. We place in small bathroom trash can thar has a trash bag.

I’m voting not gross. My guess is that whoever put them there did so for their own convenience, to have a pack to use themselves when needed and not necessarily to share with everyone in the office. Even though some of the packages say they’re flushable they really are not and they cause HUGE waste water treatment issues further down the line. If the alternative is having a co-worker with an itchy smelly butt, I’d rather they left a pack of wipes in the stall to use.

I always bring a pack of those when I travel because ten times out of ten, hotel toilet paper SUCKS. And no, I don’t flush them. However, I would not leave a pack of wipes in a public restroom, even if it was at my workplace.

Not gross, but I also wouldn't presume they were for everyone to use (if the person who brought them told everyone they could use them I still wouldn't use them because it seems like too personal of a product to share). If I did use a product like that, I wouldn't want to take them into the bathroom every time I needed one, so I understand why someone left a package in there.

Well then, that explains a lot! If that is the case and I worked somewhere like that, I might have to reconsider my position on leaving a pack of wipes there. 🤣
