[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I flush, so does my mom and sister.  We grew up in a house with WORST plumbing ever.  It was a well system, with horrible water pressure.

And lo and behold, we never had a toilet clog because of tampons.

As for sewage treatment workers having to fish them out, well, I don't see that as different from trash collectors having to throw them in a landfill.  It's what they do for a living.  And in the big scheme of things, I doubt that tampons are that big of a deal compared to everything else that ends up down there.

Whatever.  I'm going to keep flushing, because it's JUST PLAIN NASTY to put used tampons in the trash.

Me too - old house, three women flushing, never had a problem.

Tampons aren't made of kryptonite so I think they are ultimately, bio degradeable.

I also thought trash cans were for pads.

And the stuff that gets flushed, inc. condoms, I can only imagine.  I am not too worried about cotton tampons.  And isn't the whole filtering process for sewage largely automated?  It's not like there's a worker in rubber pants with a net fishing tampons out of sewage ponds.... is it?[/quote]
