FLUSHABLE WIPES

What's the best head you guys use to shred these damn things. I pulled a wad a flushable wipes out yesterday as long and thick around as my arm. Do you guys know of a head that will cut through? My experience is that no matter what head we use, the flushable wipes end up wound all round the head and the cable. We just want to shred 'em.

The snake won't spin fast enough to shred them. You don't really want to leave them in there anyway. I use an extractor head to snag them.

How about these rubber gloves I pulled out of a disposer after the cleaners got done.
I had a garbage can on the front porch, but she left her gloves in my disposer.
