We had to do something with our septic tank last summer and when the were cleaning it out I learned something very interesting!. Tampons aren't as biodegradable as you would think, and also there are filters in the septic system and tampons clog them up!. It takes a very long time for them to get clogged, although it can happen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm a mother of 2 daughters and 1 son!. Both of my daughters have disposed of their tampons in the toilet and we had problems from it!. I like to believe it is okay, and the box stated they are disposable, but we did have problems from this!. Sorry to say!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
