Those with menses in the 80s/90s were told to flush. [/quote]

[b]No, not all parents were uneducated clods.[/b]

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.  [/quote]

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.)[/quote]

OK, I apologize.  I suspect this is a social class issue, and it isn't your fault if you weren't taught the right thing.  Sort of the way some people were not taught healthy eating habits.

Now you know, and you can avoid flushing tampons and damaging plumbing.  [/quote]

Social class issue?! Oh my. No. Apology not accepted.[/quote]

I think it is a social class issue.  Girls who grew up in nice homes that their parents owned and proudly cared for and maintained were taught early about this basic hygiene/health issue.  You can see on this thread that people who live(d) in homes they don't own or care about much tend to flush and not care, or to not be aware.

It's trashy to flush tampons.  [/quote]

Agree. Not knowing and having parents that did this is definitely a social class/socioeconomic status issue[/quote]

Pretty sure families without disposable income for an emergency plumbing visit are pretty careful about making sure sewage doesn’t come bubbling up in their shower.[/quote]

Nope. [/quote]
