Off the topic just slightly, I wonder why there is a rule for dirty nappies but not for the female things i.i throwing away used tampons and pads, surely that has to be just as bad considering its blood??
Ive wondered the same thing. Often thought about bagging my used items up and going to a pulic loo to dispose of them in their special bins...but decided to go another way instead.

Would we then have to be anal about bandaides, toe nail clippings, snot in tissues and hair?? I know if sounds silly but its human waste....isnt it

But in the same token then, nappies have wee in them so why are we permitted to put that into the bin as it is a waste???
