You are gross and weird!

That made me laugh. I imagined myself trying to tell my DH he had to deal with that nasty mess. There is NO WAY.

It’s contained in a trash can, presumably with a liner. All he has to do is remove the bag of trash. I fail to see how that’s such a big deal and how nasty that would be.

Wtf. Menstrual blood from your partner is less gross than other things in a bathroom. It's not like he's touching it, just taking out the trash.

Some people on here are so bizarre.

We always have a covered trash can at home because we have dogs.

It always amuses me when I see posts like this. I am constantly explaining to my DD that just because her circle of five close friends does something, it doesn't mean "everybody" does it. This line of reasoning is the same....

I use OB tampons so they only have a bit of plastic around them, not enough to wrap the old one in. I use TP.

Same, love OB. If I travel, I do take a few extra biodegradable dog poop bags with me.

Why are you wrapping your tampon? You can just flush it.

Either way this thread is bizarre and I agree with the poster who said most aren’t wearing disposable pads anymore.

I don’t get it. Why can’t you take out the trash? I don’t see why bc it has tampons in it, that makes your DH responsible for taking it out. Whoever usually takes out the bathroom garbage does it. Why is this a big deal?

No, you most definitely cannot flush tampons, ever. Are you dumb?

Those five years on septic were longest of my life.

I'm steering my daughter away from menstrual underwear until there is more research on what's in the underwear. From what I've read, underwear like thinx are full of PFAS and other toxic chemicals. Definitely a concern for growing bodies. I think it's safer to use pads or tampons. And cups are just gross.

Google menstrual underwear and PFAS. Supposedly there are toxic free alternatives but I don't trust them.

I can’t imagine being married to such a ridiculous man-baby.

Tampons are absolutely flushable, it says so right on the box.
