Do you flush tampons?

Now that I own a house, no, never.

At a store or restaurant? It's getting flushed. Not my plumbing! The only exception is if they have a notice about not flushing like many older places in DC have.

That is pretty selfish and terrible of you. Is it really that hard to threw it in the bin attached to the bathroom stall?

I was a teen in the 90's. I am certain that in our school health classes we were told never to flush them.

I got my period in 1992 and was told from day one by my mother to never, ever flush them.

I think every one of those little receptacles I’ve ever opened in a public bathroom has been completely empty, save for a few. So despite the ire in this thread, I have a feeling most people still flush. Not defending it, just an observation.

Yeah, people are gross and lazy. I also see garbage on streets, full diapers in porta potties, masks thrown in parking lots, etc.

In college dorm, some girls would leave their dirty tampons in the shower. Not joking.

Never. Im also from a Country were we didn't flush toilet paper. I have little lidded step cans in all our bathrooms for tampons and wipes. Not that hard.

No, not all parents were uneducated clods.

I got my period in 1994 and was told from the day my mother first had "the talk" with me that I should never, ever, EVER flush a tampon.

DP. Why so rude?! If you really want this message spread for the greater good, maybe don’t be such a jerk? There are clearly lots of people didn’t know. (Myself included.)

It is common sense. Would you flush a sock down the toilet? A diaper? A pad?

No, but I’ve never had a tampon come anywhere close the size of any of those. Nor are they covered in a plastic barrier.

When I first started using them I did, I thought you were supposed to! Fortunately, it never clogged my toilet. Now that I know better I wouldn’t but I use a cup now.
