I have just come back from NZ to see Dad and step mum and got AF while there.
A couple of days later Dads toilet blocked up and he had to get a plumber out to unclog it. Embarassingly the plumber pulled a tampon out of the drain along with lots of other charming stuff but Dad said "jokingly" that I had blocked the toilet with my tampons!! The plumber told him that "those things should not be flushed"
I have always flushed mine. I dont flush pads or liners obviously or even applicators when I use that type of tampon but I always flush the um - "used part"
My sisters were both there and I asked them what they did? One is on a septic tank sysytem at her place so rightfully so she doesnt flush, but the other one on a normal town system doesnt flush hers either. She wraps them up and throws them in the bin, personally I think this is a bit gross but maybe I am the one who is a bit strange??

So what do you do? Flush or throw?
