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.
Hooray! May your teacup home be a cozy and welcoming haven.
Woot! That is awesome news. Can you hide smelly cheese in the walls or something for the upstairs former neighbors to never find?
Funky old plumbing and/or septic systems have kept me aware of what was or was not flushable. The same goes for the not so flushable wipes too. Even the ones that claim to be flushable can be an issue in some plumbing circumstances.
