Well, what do you do as a grown woman OP?

I wrap in toilet paper, or the wrapping the next pad comes in, and throw in the bathroom trash can.

Please explain the foil and sandwich paper, OP. This is insane stuff!

When I used pads in my younger days, that’s always what I did.

I also did this.

Same this is what I always do. It never occurred to me anyone else would do different tbh

When I had kids I started using the diaper disposal bags but I would like to simplify things if possible. what recommendation do you have?

How did this come up with your MIL?

Toilet paper and make my DH take out the trash. If I have to deal with this crap, so does he.

I'll dissent. Having grown up poorer, we could not afford to wrap in tp. That would be a waste.

I had "reading" material in my bathroom. Things like newspapers, or thick prospectus from some fund I have in my 401k, or whatever else ridiculously thick print material I get from companies. I tear a few pages out, and wrap the pad in them.

Actually, I'm now in menopause, and let me tell you, not having my period is the only thing I love about being in menopause.

Wrap in TP. Done!

Girl, what? Wrap it in a little toilet paper and toss it in the bathroom trash can. It’s not a biohazard!

Never heard of this! I just wrap in toilet paper and put in trash.

Never heard of this. Always just wrapped in toilet paper or tissue and empty bathroom trash outdoor at least daily.

Just…..why???? I don’t just carelessly toss them in the trash but I don’t go through some great lengths to hide the fact that I bleed. The most I do is wrap it in some TP.

TP! Never heard of anyone using aluminum foil. Do you carry it in your purse?
