[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I flushed tampons for 30 years.  That’s what I was taught.  And it’s what was on the instructions throughout my teens and 20s, after which I was done reading tampon instructions.  My very environmental college taught me to recycle and bring my own bag to the grocery store, but never taught me to toss tampons.  I only stopped flushing them in my early 40s, and after only a couple of years or so switched to a menstrual cup.  I’m almost 50.[/quote]
Not flushing them is rather horrifying, gross, and inconvenient after doing it for so long. I may look into the cup option. [/quote]
Cups FTW.  I switched when I had an IUD that was making my periods super heavy, but I have kept it even after having the IUD taken out. My bonus was not having to worry about buying tampons or pads when there were paper product shortages in 2020.

And it’s cheaper. I just replaced my old cup that I used for four years. The cup itself was $40, so over four years I spent $10/year on menstrual products. [/quote]
