How do you dispose of used tampons

I'm sorry, but I said this in qual. There are two parts to a tampon. The actual tampon and the applicator. The tampon is flushable, the applicator is not. Unless you are using OB's tampons with no applicator, which very few women do. So do you mean the actual tampon that goes in your body or the applicator that does not? Anyway, I flush the tampon and toss the applicator, all the time everywhere.

Flush them at home, put them in the sanitary bin in a public toilet. Oh, what a joyous question.

I'm a guy and don't use them. I did like a t.v. commercial that used one to plug a hole in a boat though.

I thought it was a kinda funny, but strange question.

I try not to flush them, they can pluck up the toilet sometimes.

You know when i was 15 and knew less, I for a joke pulled a tampon out of my then girlfriends handbag (a new one, obviously) and dropped it into my pint of beer.................. man, this thing expanded and absorbed my whole pint???? amazing absorbency

We have a septic system so we throw them away.

Just don't flush em down the toiled girls. My crazy brother in law is a plumber who does a "wastewater pipe tampon un-clogger job" once a week, usually in homes or buildings which are 30 or more years old. The bastard likely makes more money that I do I may add, but I cast no onions on his profession, because when the sewer drain is clogged you really learn to love these guys in the blue coveralls who can stop by next Wednesday cause their schedule is booked solid thru the following week.

That's beer abuse man. Punishable by law.

hahahahaahah........... i learnt a bitter lesson never drop tampons in your beer

Cringeworthy question.. but.. ok.. I flush the things.

I flush them in public.... I throw them away at home.

I have a slight plumbing problem at home. Esther, my pin oak, likes to grow roots........ and with old clay pipes running underneath her, we tend to have problems. Sewage can easily get by..... tampons are better off in the trash.

I collect them and make statues out of them.

No seriously, I throw them out.

I ONLY use OB. I cannot stand applicators.

> clay pipes

Flush, unless I'm somewhere I know I can't flush them, in which case I just throw them away. But that's pretty rare.

I use OB, too. I feel good about cutting down on the extra trash, and they're much easier to fit in your palm if you need to get one out of a bag in public or something.

I don't use them

I throw them away. Only time I flush is if I'm in public and there's not a trash in the stall. While tampons are said to be flushable, I don't buy it. They can clog up your pipes. I learned this the hard way.

If they are my used tampons, which they wouldn't be because I don't use them, I would wrap and trash.
Would we be talking about someone else's used tampon? I don't think I would do anything with it unless they left it on the sink ledge, than I would knock it on the floor and drag it around on the back of my show.

I make an infusion and once I've finished sipping the infusion, I eat the tampon. I know it's kind of gross, but think how much better it is for the environment.

...unless you're willing to suck the tampon dry of beer.

I don't use tampons.

I have never had a problem with tampons clogging a toilet.

When I was a teen I knew this girl that didn't know you're supposed to take the applicator out. She'd been wondering why it was so uncomfortable...

Yuck! I kick them away from me.

I wrap them in a wad of toilet paper and throw them away. Flushing them is a very good way to flood the toilet. When I was in fifth grade, a girl I knew got her period, and she would ask me to look out for people coming into the bathroom so she could walk out of the stall and toss it in the big trash without being seen, since the bathrooms didn't have those tiny wastecans. Poor girl was mortified she got her moontime so early.

I know!

My dad plans to replace them for me this year. All the houses in my neighborhood had them... about half of them have been replaced now.

I just can't think of any circumstances where I would genuinely want to know what people did with their used sanitary products! lol

It is strange the things people want to know. You would not believe the things me and some of my friends talk about when we are drinking.
Last night it was "Which way does it hang?" Is it different for right handed guys then left handed guys? Funny things like that.

I did actually a little, but it had a slightly medicinal taste, of course my girlfriend thought I was gross

So, are you going to tell us? Left or right

It probably tasted like most American beers, then... BTW - that woman has no sense of Ha-Ha

I'm right handed and I hang to the left. Makes for easier reaching.

You are so right, I hate American beer.........everytime I am in the states I always ask for the strongest beer on Tap. usually they say samuel Adams. which is drinkable

Viva British beers, Canadian beers, Belgian beers (especially Belgian beers...hoo-ah!!!)

lol it's usually the beer fuelled converstions that are the most interesting!

flush

That is very true!

flush always

don't want to clog the crapter

I put the applicator into the plastic & throw it in the trash, but I flush the tampon.

The whole pint!?!?! I've got to try that some time.
