TMI Question Regarding Tampons

[Anonymous]

how do you dispose of your "used" tampons? flush or toss?

[Anonymous]

Flush

[Anonymous]

Toss at home, or anywhere the pluming seems a little "dated", flush if I'm in a modern building with commercial toilets.

[Anonymous]

if there's a disposal receptacle throw it there. Flushing is not recommend.

[Anonymous]

You should never flush tampons. Ever. Unless you want to put your plumber's kids through college.

[Anonymous]

They are not supposed to be flushed, just toss in the garbage container.

[Anonymous]

Flush.

Really? I had no idea you're not supposed to. Ack!

[Anonymous]

It never dawned on me to toss them. I have been flushing them for 30 years!!!

This is what I've always heard.

I can personally vouch that flushing tampons in a house with older plumbing will get you a plumbing call starting @ $150.

I too had been flushing for almost 30 years (unless the sign in the 1877 B & B said not to). Should've made that connection for my own home, I guess
