Do you flush tampons down the toilet?!


Question: Tampons are supposed to be flushable, but many septic systems cannot handle them. You can ruin some pipelines by flushing stuff that is not human waste or toilet paper.
Best to wrap it in toilet paper and toss it in the trash.

flush the actual tampon NOT THE APPLICATOR!!! (the applicator is the plastic part on the outside of the tampon)

Well if they say they can be flushed then flush them down. I personally just put them in the sanitary bin..

i flush them because they can get pretty gross in the trash can, just sitting there. the aplicator should go in the trash though.

Yea the tampons can be flushed but most applicators can't.

You can flush them if your plumbing can handle them.
