So how does that work in a public restroom? You can't wash your hands before you touch the door to get out.... |

A cup creates the same issues, as does changing a tampon for someone who bleeds a lot. Wipe off with paper and proceed to the sink. Throwing away the applicator and the tampon creates its own challenges. I don't flush them when there's a chance it could mess up someone's plumbing. |

| Appalled seems like an overreaction to me, OP. Take it easy LOL |

| Subject line is too strong. I was expecting something much worse. |

For sure! No big deal. |

| Good grief, find something else to freak out about besides someone else's vaginal maintenance related trash. |

Wash your hands before, use one hand for managing tampon, etc the other for door, flush, faucet. |

You do not use all 10 fingers to insert a tampon. You use one and maybe two to assist. How do you get out of the stall after pooping? That is much grosser than some menstrual fluid. |

I generally avoid looking in bathroom garbage, because there are bound to be things I don't want to see in there.. Tampons, condoms, ear wax covered cotton swabs, snotty Kleenex, etc.
Yes, I wrap my tampons ( OB gal here) and would wrap an applicator if I had one.. But maybe she's not that squeamish, or worried, or wanting to create extra waste. Rule of bathrooms.. Never check out the waste receptacle. |

OP here. There was blood on it. That, to me, is gross. Just wrap it up! And I wasn't in the master bath... it was the downstairs half bath. Yuck. |

Why then are you reading a tampon post? You're a douche. LOL! Just kidding. |

I have a dog...who thinks any feminine product in the trashcan is automatically a treat (whether it is wrapped or not), so no, I do not put in a trashcan that is out in the open. That being said, her house her rules. Kind of gross, but maybe she wasn't expecting company.
