Septic Safe Wipes for Toliet paper?

The DW was asking if we could use the Toilet friendly Kirkland Wet Wipes we get at CostCo in our Motorhome. I was not sure so I did a search and could not find anything information. However I did find someone that said that spetic safe toilet paper was ok, and on the package of this stuff it says it is spetic safe. So would it be ok to use it? I also read some people use regular toilet paper, is that really ok, as long as you have enough water in the black tank prior to use?

    Ahhhh....NO!

    Per their website:

    Kirkland Signature™ Moist Flushable Wipes are NOT recommended for flushing in motor homes



    and if you read further about their 'flushable' wipes there are paragraphs after paragraphs with disclaimers about using it with septics and/or even flushing them down toilets connected to sewers. :R

    Their******shoot is that no one will read or look up the specifics.
