[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A little off-topic:  my five-year old was in a restaurant bathroom by himself the other day, and when I went in to check on him he was playing with a used plastic tampon applicator.  I COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT ON HIM and practically threw up all over the place.  It still makes me want to vomit just thinking about this, a week later.  It was the most disgusting thing ever.  He had seen it just sitting there in the trash while he was peeing and his simple little five-year old brain said something like, "oh look, a cool rocket".  GAG EWWW GROOOOOSSSSSS.  Anyway, I had him stand there scrubbing his hands for 15 minutes and we've basically recovered.

Back when I used tampons (now I'm a Keeper girl), I always flushed.  I usually used OBs so there was no applicator to mess with, but when I did use an applicator I would throw it in the trash.  My mom taught me to flush tampons, and it never occurred to me that I should pull it out and find a trash can to put it in.[/quote]

I know it isn't the focus, but I have to say it - please don't let your children go to public bathrooms on their own. I have a 5 year old boy and I am always worried about sexual predators hanging around public change rooms and bathrooms. in Toronto (Canada), a 4 year old girl was assaulted by someone when she went to a public bathroom on her own. I just thought it was unbelievable to let a 4 year old go to the bathroom on her own, but I guess people do it. I wish they wouldn't. ever.[/quote]
