[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Always wrap in toilet paper and throw in trash when at home or in a public restroom with a receptacle for that in the stall.

[b]Unless I'm a guest at someone's house.  Then I flush... twice.[/b]  Can't leave my bloody tampon in their power room trash.

Dogs that eat them are at risk of an obstruction. [/quote]

You’re awful [/quote]

How so? Less chance of a clog.  Also I am not putting their pet at risk.  [/quote]

I would be livid if I found out a guest was flushing their tampons at my house. Do you know how expensive it is to fix the inevitable plumbing issue that will arise? Flushing twice doesn’t do anything to mitigate this risk BTW[/quote]

Obviously people need to use their best judgment given the social situation.   Sometimes people have a trash can with no lid and no bag in their powder room.  [/quote]

No one and I mean no one wants a tampon flushed down their home toilet.  I would be so angry to find out someone did this and perhaps contributed to a major plumbing issue.  Wrap very well in toilet paper and toss, how hard is it?  Everyone has a trash can in their bathroom.  Whether it has a bag or lid doesn't matter--you wrap the tampon well and throw away.  You never flush it under any circumstance.[/quote]

Look, you are wrong.  Occasionally you have to use your brain.

I made the mistake of putting a well wrapped tampon in an open trashcan.  Host's dog sniffed it out and the spent the evening at the pet ER.

In retrospect,  I wish I had flushed that time, given the circumstances. [/quote]
