[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wrap in the plastic wrapper the new pad comes in. Doesn’t everyone so that? You are presumably discarding a used pad/tampon and replacing it with a fresh one, yes? [/quote]

I use OB tampons so they only have a bit of plastic around them, not enough to wrap the old one in. I use TP.[/quote]

Same, love OB. If I travel, I do take a few extra biodegradable dog poop bags with me. [/quote]

Why are you wrapping your tampon? You can just flush it.

Either way this thread is bizarre and I agree with the poster who said most aren’t wearing disposable pads anymore. [/quote]

No, you most definitely cannot flush tampons, ever.  Are you dumb? [/quote]

NP here. Yes, you can.

Those five years on septic were longest of my life.[/quote]

As long as the toilet is strong you can flush everything, tampon, wrapper, and plastic applicator. There’s literally no reason to throw it in the trash unless the toilet is weak or you’re on septic. I’ve been doing it for 15 years, and taught my daughter to do the same.[/quote]
