When I was a teenager, I really didn't know you weren't supposed to flush tampons, and I was VERY private about the whole thing.
My family wasn't -- god know, my mom had such awful issues about her periods that it was all out in the open, but I was so mortified by the whole deal that I didn't even tell my parents I had started for a year. I just filched my mom's tampons from under the sink.
So of course the toilet got blocked, and it was a tampon, and my dad had to deliver a "Don't flush tampons" speech, and I was DED of the blush.
And then when I was about 14, the dog dragged a pair of panties out from my room, and chewed the crotch out. My dad found those, too. Embarrassing lecture #2.
How do people survive adolescence?! So. Touchy!
Jars, you only shouted 'arses!' a couple of times with us, and we found it, you, DH, and the kitten utterly charming and fabulous.
Oh, you.

Plumbers. And experience. Esp. if you use the supermaxisupernova-sucking tampons.
That's not the only toilet I've seen clogged by a tampon.
Yeah, you're really not supposed to flush tampons. Clog-o-riffic.
My friends who are sea-faring type people are very anti-flushing too. They all have stories about tampons getting caught in their wetsuits etc.
I switched to reusable pads...seemed like quite the initial investment, but you know, no more panicked drugstore runs, and washing them is not as gross as I thought...it's weird the things we just accept as normal, sometimes. Like, of course a civilized person wants bleached paper covered with plastic right up next to somewhere so personal.

I can't decide if that's better or worse than the Sexy V For Vendetta costume
