[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]

I used to flush used tampons too until the plumber pulled them out of the pipes in front on my husband, and warned him I should stop. [/quote]

I double checked to make sure I didn’t post this. Same here. I had no idea you weren’t supposed to flush tampons until the plumber told DH. [/quote]
