Toilet paper possesses a different composition from facial tissues. Toilet paper is designed to break apart when wet so as to not clog drain pipes, although poorer countries don't have this luxury. Toilet paper is designed to decompose in septic tanks, whereas most septic tank manufacturers advise against flushing facial tissues into a septic tank.
