[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every workplace restroom I've been in has signs asking not to flush tampons, pads or paper towels. I'd assume the same applied to home bathrooms.[/quote]
Never been to one with a sign. I only seen the signs in some old buildings that say: "our system is old, please don't flush pads". [/quote]

Sorry, I find it hard to believe that an adult American woman has never seen a sign saying not to flush tampons. You are being willfully ignorant to avoid shame for doing something wrong.[/quote]
I don't feel any shame :) I don't see it as wrong. It gets to the landfills anyway.  The only signs I see in the bathrooms is about washing hands in food establishments. My work buildings have no signs. I am thinking it's regional, just like seat covers in the bathrooms. [/quote]

It is wrong. Wastewater treatment facilities beg people not to flush tampons. What's the problem with just throwing it in the trash like a normal person? Why flush it, and force the treatment place to deal with it, and then send it to the landfill? [/quote]
Have you been to a treatment facility? The only problem if it clogs your private system. The facility is not "forced" to deal with it, it's designed to do so. What they have to deal with is money, they have to pick out and log them.[/quote]
