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.  [b]I suspect this is a social class issue[/b], 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]

Good God, you have hit the nail on the head, Bitsy!  Of course, the “upper class” is inherently more intelligent and environmentally conscious than the ignorant middle class or “upper middle class” (snort) who predominate these DCUM boards with their “new money” sensibilities.  "Uneducated clods" is a [i]perfect [/i]description.  We should all be as graceful as you and recognize, even as these women of a lesser social class flush their soiled tampons with impunity, that it is not their fault they were brought up this way.  In comparison, just think of how those annual charity galas for the Izaak Walton League helped to instill such a fine environmental ethic among the [i]better [/i]people in this country.  I’m sure it also didn’t hurt to have Mummies who were so much less inhibited about talking about uncomfortable subjects such as periods, due to all the day drinking (wink, wink).  And then of course, Consuela was also emtying the powder room wastebaskets twice daily, so that was also helpful.  You have explained everything.  Thank you for helping us to understand.

Then again, I suppose it is also possible that you were taught differently because your family compounds in Kennebunkport, Southhampton, Hyannis Port, Seal Harbor, etc. had really shitty plumbing.
