What toilets think of gDiapers
The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) tested the ability of a flushable inner pad of a gDiaper to pass through typical North American household toilet fixtures with the addition of a 60-foot length of four-inch diameter glass pipe attached to the toilet discharge. Observations were made of the travel and condition of the inner pad in the drainage pipe. Product samples were provided to NSF by Down To Earth Designs (DTED) Inc. Six toilets, representative of toilets currently in domestic use, were used in the evaluation (see table below). All toilets are considered low consumption models (approximately 1.6 gallons or less).
