[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a flood caused by clogged pipes after we had a party at our house for our 4 year olds birthday. It was a disgusting disaster. When they snaked the pipes they found tampons were to blame. I was furious. There were at least 10 women there, so one of them clearly doesn’t know not to flush tampons down the toilet. We have a sign out in the bathroom now whenever any guests come over. [/quote]

I think I only found out a year or two ago (from DCUM) that tampons shouldn’t be flushed.  Even then, I didn’t believe it, at first, until I had done further research. I distinctly remember that tampon instructions used to say to flush them. I’m 53, so I’ve been flushing them for years. [/quote]

+1. Not only were the tampons flushable but the ones with cardboard applicators also said you could flush them. It was only the plastic applicators that needed to be thrown in the trash. Pads you wrapped in tp and went in the trash. Tampons you pulled out and flushed down the toilet. [/quote]

yes this is how i was taught... hmmm.. always flush tampons but trash applications or pads [/quote]
