It’s funny, people are acting like[b] some of us who got our periods in the 80s and early 90s were a bunch of rubes for not having the common sense to avoid flushing[/b]. But if you look at that link, ads at that time were just broaching the topic of whether tampon users were still virgins or not. Common sense changes with the times.

Personally, all I remember about my introduction to tampons was the fear of TSS. We definitely covered that in health class and it made an impression. But flushing? This was the least of our tampon concerns.

My mom started talking to me about periods in the early 90s and she knew not to flush them and emphasized this to me.  When I got my period in 1994, I knew.  Furthermore, all my friends knew, too.

I do think there is a social class component at play here, and it isn't women's faults if they weren't taught the correct thing.  [/quote]

Agree, except it is there fault for not realizing that it is wrong someone along the way fairly quickly after becoming an adult.  My parents from the 80s did a lot of stuff I don’t do as an adult because I know better.  [/quote]
