My Response To The Question:
Yes, The Main Reason is that it isn’t Biodegradable. It doesn’t dissolve as easily as Toilet paper. And Actually, using just about anything other than toilet paper will cause a stoppage or problems in the future usage of your plumbing system.
And you will have toilet plumbing repair to deal with. When using a toilet, preferably, nothing should be flushed. It isn’t a trash can. And many items will cause the drains to back up.
These are some of the regular items I have found, like the following Items Tampons which can easily cause a toilet stoppage.
Another thing is Baby Wipes. I come across this regularly.
And even Q-tips can stop the plumbing and will have the toilet needing plumbing repair.
When Replacing a Toilet or just doing Toilet repair
That being said I would actually say if you get a two-button system (Duo Flush) is better to conserve water. There is a lot of waste in water when you flush a toilet if it’s unnecessary. For this, there is a Duo Flush Toilet. American Standard.
Also, the brand of the toilet is Important for instance some toilets will clog often when flushing the toilet. And if you flush several times because of the quality of the toilet?
I usually recommend The American Standard Toilet (Champion 4 Max) Toilet, the one that costs 198.00 at The Home Depot for the round toilet, although I also prefer the Elongated toilet. Costs a little more. Around 250.00.
But is an an excellent toilet reason is it has a picture on the box where a person could literally flush a bucket of golf balls.

Plumbing Repair Tips. To Check Before Replacing.
Most Problems or Water Leaks are caused by what is called a used or older water flapper.
And can also cause your water bill to increase the reason is because this leak is usually not very visible unless you are aware of.
This the part that usually has a rubber flapper. Sometimes it might look like a valve in the middle that turns on and off when flushed.
Anyways if it is the rubber flapper all you have to do is replace it.
Also another part to check to see if it needs to be replaced is the 400 A Fluid Master. Although I do recommend to get a professional for this.
Also check the toilet handle to see if this needs replacing.
