| Not sure what forum to ask this in but need help settling a debate. At home- do you flush used tampons? |

| No. Not unless you want to clog the toilet. Wrap it up and throw it away. |

| In a modern home in an area with modern sewage pipes I would, I think. Not in DC though. Our 1890s house was remodeled, but can still have an issue where it goes underground and meets DC system. |

| Yes- of course. Why is this a question? |

| I never knew there was an issue with flushing them. Never had a problem my entire life since menses. |

| No, of course not. They don’t break down and will eventually create a clog. |

| Never. Same with “flushable” wipes |

Never!
You aren’t supposed to. That is why every public restroom has that little white trash bin for them. |

| No! Most public bathrooms have signs saying not to flush them. I’m pretty sure they taught us that in school as well. |

| Seriously? Of course not! What idiot would do this? Same ones who pour grease down their kitchen sinks, I suppose. |

No! That’s for pads and tampon tube trash. |

Please ask yourself—why is it okay to flush tampons but not pads? |
