Please define: What's a sweetpaper?

[GrannieAnnie]

Have an argument going here in the States over the
meaning of "sweetpaper". There is a note in the bathroom
in a house rented out by some Scots and the note warns about
throwing sweetpaper down the toilet. Some say it is sanitary napkins.
I think it means candy wrappers though who on earth would throw those down a toilet?
So I said you folks would give us the correct scoop :D

In the UK ...

A sweetpaper is something that encases a sweet (candy), aka a sweet wrapper.

Usually made of cellophane or waxed paper, either way non-biodegradable. Individually they do-not flush down, and in quantity, easily capable of blocking a toilet

I'm a Scot & all I can relate it to is Papers wrapping sweeties ie candy.  It's never been used in connection with ST's in my lifetime.

Neither should be disposed of down the toilet particularly if the waste goes to a septic tank or passes through a chew n spit unit.

Hello USA, I'm a newbie to this site and not sure if you have received an answer to your ? If not, a Sweetpaper is a candy wrapper. Here in Britain they are normally made with cellophane which believe me does not flush and can block the toilet. From the map I believe you are somewhere in the Philadelphia area. I had a friend in Elizabethtown whom I use to visit. I enjoyed my holidays there and particularly loved the Farmers Markets. Hope you have a good growing season this year. Best wishes. Diana.
