I would like information on the wet toilet paper products:

1. What happened to the products that were launched? p&G Charmin Fresh
Mates, KC RollMates, others?  Who had products and when?

2. Why did they fail? 

3. Are there any still marketed in the US? In other countries?

The German toilet paper company Hakle, which is owned by
Kimberly-Clark makes a wet toilet paper named "Hakle Feucht" (feucht =
moist). It's available in Germany , Switzerland and Austria. They even
offer different versions and it seems very popular in Switzerland (at
least in our household!) Here's a link to the english version of their
Swiss site: http://www.hakle.ch/home.asp?lang=en . Let's hope a
bona-fide google researcher picks up on this for an interesting and
in-depth answer!

Possibly one reason why these products did not succeed in the American
market is that they were advertised as being "flushable," but they
could cause plumbing problems when flushed:

"Consumer Reports just tested Cottonelle Fresh Rollwipes and Charmin
Fresh Mates, as well as some moist wipes from Quilted Northern and two
store brands. All the products say that they're 'flushable' and most
say they're sewer and septic safe.

The tests checked to see how long it took for the wipes to
disintegrate. That's important if you have a toilet that clogs easily
or if you have a septic system. After three months, most of the wipes
looked just about the same as they did when they started out. Most
hadn't disintegrated at all. Only the Cottonelle Fresh Rollwipes broke
up. But it took about a day far longer than toilet paper, which
disintegrates in about a minute.

Consumer Reports cautions if you've had any problem with your plumbing
or if you have a septic system, flushing something that doesn't
disintegrate easily could spell trouble."
