'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
You're really not supposed to flush anything that won't dissolve, like toilet paper does. I have learned this because I have finicky toilets that think they shouldn't have to work with anything that isn't liquid.
Disclaimer: I flush tampons and Kleenex anyway. So there, toilets.
I thought tampons in the toilet were verboten always.
I could use a quick beta on an application for a career fair thingy. Anyone up for it? It's 4 questions and short answers (under 100 words each).
Nora,
no! tampons are just fine in most toilets. applicators may not be (plastic ones especially), but tampons, yes.
Unless you have a septic system rather than city sewers, in which case they are a very bad idea.
At the car dealership where I have spent my morning there is a sign in the bathroom "please do not flush any feminine products". So.
Does this mean tampons? WTF?
That's a pretty common sign in the public toilets I use. We have it at the office, and I keep meaning to scrawl on it that anything that comes out of my nethers is a "feminine product". Well, "meaning" in the sense that it's never ever going to happen, but the semantic urges are strong in this one.
Then again, the idea that flushing tampons is bad seems to be more widespread than I'd thought it was, no matter what the tampon box actually says. I had no idea so many people thought that it officially was a Bad Thing.
I thought tampons in the toilet were verboten always.
I thought that their flushability was the main advantage to using tampons! (Apart from their supposed comfort, but I've never found them very comfortable.)
yeah because I cannot imagine taking a tampon out and...putting it somewhere other than the toilet.
25 years of tossing tampons in toilets would be a hard habit to break.
Flushability is a big reason I use tampons, but then I learnt that not everyone considers them flushable, so really, I should just stay home on my period, in case I fuck up someone's toilet.
Because *that* would be embarassing.
TCG and I are officially homeowners!
Wooot!!!! Congratulations!!! Welcome to your new home!!!
eta: pom poms didn't work. So, imagine pom poms.
