Yea you can because its your choice.
But when you clog the toilet that's
gon' be pretty embarrassing x]

Yeah they clog some toilets.
But just to be sure don't flush them.

It depends. Some places (If u go somewhere) they won't allow it or it doesn't matter! But I say just not too many times!!

depends on the plumbing. with modern plumbing, yes you can flush them down the toilet.

yes, especially the super plus tampons but make sure you flush immediately before it absorbs all the water and gets humongous lol

They can be flushed, but it really isn't a good idea. They have a tendency to plug the toilet or the septic tank.

Most tampon boxes will tell you if they're flushable or not. I flush my tampons and havent had a problem yet. However, if you have a sensitive plumbing system, or a septic system, its best not to. Otherwise, flush away! : ]

Most track homes have the cheapest toilets ever made. These poor quality toilets have ceramic burrs inside the main pipe and can catch tissue paper and other product very easily.

Industrial toilets, like in public restrooms use a good force of water and can handle most products.

It's just better to wrap up your tampon in toilet paper and toss in waste can or use the sanitary napkin slot for just those things.

i thought that's what you're supposed to do? uh oh.

yes pearls can

I would be on the safe side, if they do clog up the septic its a pretty expensive repair.
