Without any problems if you live in a house that's 100 years old?

I've never heard of Charmin, but I'm assuming from context that it is a brand of toilet paper or some similar product.
I grew up in a house approximately 100 years old, built in the late 1800s. We had no problem with the plumbing system, and flushed toilet paper as necessary. Age isn't the only issue to take into account. If your house can't cope with more, you have to.limit it.

I don't think plumbing was around 100 years ago.
Our house is almost 50 years old. We only use toilet paper but even 6-7 tissues flush fine.
We did have a sewer backup 4 months after moving in.
I don't know if it was the regular tissues or the wipes.
We stopped using both.
Toilet paper disintegrates. So it should be fine unless you put in a huge amount for some reason.

Per google, indoor plumbing became common in America in the 1840s. So it has been around for more than 100 years at this point.
OP, all plumbers have told my family not to use Charmin toilet paper at all. We use the blue pack  .

You might need to get youe drains snaked. Our plumbing is from 1928. We use charmin and usually 6-8 squares is fine. More also sometimes fine. When my kids try to use 20, that usually needs to get plunged.

Tell me this is a joke. Please. Because if it isn't, you need to go back to school to learn some history.
Indoor plumbing has been around for a long time. To be sure not everywhere. I have a coworker with a hunting cabin in Middleofnowhere, VT, with no indoor plumbing or electricity. It's basically a wooden box --like a sturdy packing crate, in fact, only somewhat bigger and with a door and window-- where he goes every now and then to get away from everything and everyone and be a Neanderthal for a few days before heading home with a winter's worth of deer meat. Bringing in indoor plumbing and wiring would cost many thousands and it's not worth it to him for a week or two out of the year.
There are also migrant farm camps with no indoor plumbing, which is illegal and a disgrace, some shantytowns occupied by the homeless, and some shacks in rural outposts like the Ozarks where more people have TV than indoor plumbing.

It was a quote from an old and inane TV commercial for this brand of TP. They'd show customers, almost always women, in a grocery store squeezing a package of Charmin because it was so irresistibly "squeezably soft." Mr. Whipple, the owner or manager of the store, would ask them to please not squeeze the Charmin. It was an allusion to grocers the world over who plead with customers not to squeeze the produce to test its ripeness. If you think this sounds excruciatingly asinine and insulting, you're right.
