[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was taught (by my mom) to flush the applicator, but that's back when they were made of flimsy cardboard that would at least theoretically disintegrate in water. When I switched to a plastic applicator, I for sure put the applicator in the trash! Same with the wrapper - it used to be light paper that would immediately fall apart in water, now it's that shiny stuff I would never flush.

I will say that I flush the actual used tampon, and no one is going to get me to stop. I would never routinely put a used tampon in a trash can, that's disgusting, and I have a high bar for disgust. I will put it in a trash can if there is one of those signs saying "no feminine hygiene products in the toilet" - I figure those places have crappy systems. [/quote]

If you want to flush tampons at your own house (as a homeowner), then fine. But don't ever, ever do so at anyone else's house, or property if you are a renter. [/quote]

At home I put everything in the garbage. At work, I flush everything. I hate my boss and she owns the property, so it’s the little things :-) [/quote]

So to spite your boss, you will be a jerk to the planet. Wow.[/quote]
