[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP 8:01 and I was curious! Found an eBay listing for a Tampax box (80s) and sure enough it’s what I remember-a flushable applicator!

Vintage Tampax Tampons 40 Super Flushable Applicator [/quote]

I remember that the cardboard applicators were marketed as flushable, but it seems to me that there was caveat not to flush the tampon itself.

Yes, I always learned that, while some applicators might be flushable (but really who cares about those), the tampons never were.  People just obviously misunderstood the advertising as it clearly states that the applicator is flushable.  I've never seen anything about a flushable tampon.  I think that would probably get them sued when people's systems backed up.

As a teenager in the 90s, I did once put a tampon, wrapped in loads of toilet paper, in a friend's bathroom trash, only to find it 15 minutes later on the floor in their living room, brought in by the dog.  I was obviously mortified, but they all laughed and said it happened all the time.

Now I use a cup, which really has been life changing.  [/quote]
