What about overnight guests? And... most people bring tampons with them.

If you know someone well enough to spend the night, surely you can mention that your plumbing is delicate.

This is what I did.

People might bring their own.

+1 We were shocked overnight guests tried flushing (clearly a lot) of wipes down our new construction/pipes home. Then clogged the toilet and never told us! People are bizarre.

I had a friend who carries wipes on her purse. I had to tell her not to flush that stuff down my septic. She still doesn't believe flushable wipes are not flushable.

We had a flood caused by clogged pipes after we had a party at our house for our 4 year olds birthday. It was a disgusting disaster. When they snaked the pipes they found tampons were to blame. I was furious. There were at least 10 women there, so one of them clearly doesn’t know not to flush tampons down the toilet. We have a sign out in the bathroom now whenever any guests come over.

I think I only found out a year or two ago (from DCUM) that tampons shouldn’t be flushed. Even then, I didn’t believe it, at first, until I had done further research. I distinctly remember that tampon instructions used to say to flush them. I’m 53, so I’ve been flushing them for years.

This. Any women should know not to flush feminine hygiene products.

I agree they *should*, but really an astounding number don’t. Would you just tell them?

Do people really flush tampons down the toilet?

Do not trust people to do the right thing! My adult 40 something cousin recently admitted that she flushes her tampons. This is a college-educated, well-read, worldly woman. I couldn’t believe it!

Same. And then I kept trying to put it in a trash can but it disgusted me so much and was a problem to not make a mess while doing so. And some people had open trash and. I now just use a cup and it’s been life changing. I’m shocked people still use tampons.

I thought when they said not to flush tampons they meant not to flush the applicator. I had no idea people took that nasty bloody tampon and rolled it in toilet paper and put it in a trash can.
