It’s funny, people are acting like 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. 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.

I got my period in 94 and never flushed.  Flushable wipes still say flushable on them too- and most people (with sense) know you don’t really flush them.  So stop excusing your tampon ignorance.  It was known in the 80s and 90s you shouldn’t really flush them. And now- people STILL doing it and haven’t figured out they shouldn’t despite signs, despite the box saying DO NOT FLUSH in bold are...very simple minded.  [/quote]

The manufacturer said they were biodegradable and flushable, they no longer do.  Something has in fact changed. You can’t fault people for following printed instructions on A product  that is classified as a medical device.[/quote]

Ok but they haven’t been marketed as flushable for the at least 40 yrs now.  People used to use asbestos mats for rolling out pie crust, smoke cigarettes in their hospital bed, pass out cocktails to sick patients, give lobotomies to people with various mental illnesses, drain people’s blood to cure them from disease, put babies to sleep on their stomach covered in blankets,  eat Snackwell Fat free cookies to lose weight...I could go on and on.  It has been common knowledge for a very very long time not to flush them.   [/quote]

Just give up, you were wrong, multiple people have been trying to explain their recollections (not justify anything today) and you’re just on with your miss ‘94 sanctimony.[/quote]
