Just leave them in the stall at your work bathroom.

I'm kind of grossed out at the thought of leaving them in my small bathroom trash and besides that, my toddlers are too curious to leave anything I wouldn't want in their hands or mouth in that trash.
You don’t know how to empty the bathroom trash?

Never. Just wrap with enough tp that the outside is dry, and then put in kitchen trash can or something else that you know is emptied every night for sure. Pretty easy really.

No I do not. I only flush human waste and TP. No wipes - baby, flushable, etc. I live in a 1940s house. The 1940s house we rented before our current house - the prior renters clogged it and the line from the house to the street had to be dug our and replaced. No way am I dealing with that for a problem I caused. Our neighbors just did the same repairs as well.
I sleep better at night knowing that the family who lived in our house for 35 years before us had 2 sons.

Once you've had a plumber come, and you see that dirty nasty thing the size of a rat come back to haunt you, you'll never flush one again.

The plumbing works, the sewage system works and sewage processing plants work. That's enough for me to know.

Why would you not flush it if you have modern plumbing?
It says on the packaging NOT to flush. Any public women’s bathroom you go into (yes, modern plumbing) has a sign saying not flush tampons or pads. It really takes two seconds to wrap and toss in the trash.
It must be East Coast thing. I never seen "Do not flush tampons" signs on the West coast. Pads - yes, but never tampons.

I flush even though I know you're not supposed to. I just can't bring myself to deal with them again once they're used. I tried using two different cups over two years and hated them. Luckily I'm in perimenopause so hopefully my tampon days are numbered, at last.
