Why not flush Tampons down your Toilet?
According to research, 2.5 million tampons are flushed down the toilet each day by Australian women. Experts recommend not flushing tampons down a toilet. Toilet paper, pee and poo are all acceptable.
Although it’s not ideal, it is possible to flush tampons that are made from 100% cotton material with a septic tank.
However, conventional tampons that are made from plastic overwraps won’t break apart and should be disposed off in a different way.
This applies to all feminine products made of the same material. You can’t flush pads, applicators, pads or wipes down the toilet.
You must properly dispose of your tampon after you have removed it. It is possible to place it in a private bathroom bin so that it can be hidden from the public until you are able to properly dispose of it.
It will block the pipes or drains of your toilet, which can lead to a costly repair job.
How do you dispose of Tampons at home?
Relax your pelvic muscles to remove the tampon. Two fingers are needed to grasp the string or product. Then pull it out gently. To ensure that the tampon is not in your vagina, make sure you inspect it carefully.
Wrap the tampon in a piece of toilet paper once you have removed it from your vagina. This will prevent any blood from dripping from the product and keep your hands safe from getting into contact with the product’s blood. It is easy to conceal the tampon by wrapping it in toilet paper.
You will need to throw the tampon out with the toilet paper after you have secured it. To avoid any mess, you can throw the tampon in the garbage as soon as possible and dispose of it discretely.
If you leave tampons out for more than a few days, they can sometimes produce a foul odour from menstrual blood. You can store your wrapped tampon in the toilet cupboard or near the garbage bin for up to a few days.
How do you dispose of tampons in a public washroom?
