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]

I got my first period in 95.  I also knew not to flush.  Didn't help that my dad was a plumber and told me no matter what something says on the box do not put anything besides bodily fluids and tp in your toilet.  It's an expensive and gross fix if you have a back up.  There are flushable wipes today.  Everyone knows they aren't really flushable despite what they say on the box.  Didn't DC just have a huge sewage leak because of that a few months ago?[/quote]
