[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You keep saying "clogged toilet" when everyone above (myself included) are telling you the clog isn't limited to your toilet. Tampons can clog the main sewer line. You get sewage coming up every drain in your house.

All because you're too dainty to wrap a tampon in tissue and throw it away.[/quote]

A friend of mine moved into a home in Arlington.  less than a year later there was a sewer backup in her house.  The clog was halfway between her toilet and the street.  It cost thousands of dollars to fix. 
The plumbers told her never to flush anything but toilet paper.  Her story of what her house was like during the sewage back up convinced me to do the same.  [/quote]
I had to deal with those in houses and condos. None were related to stuff that was flushed: tree roots, pipe defect and a wrong connection to the main line by a neighbor. Plenty of fun experiences, with the tree roots issues during norovirus attack (it was jokes galore). [/quote]
