Question about disposing tampons?!


Question: Question about disposing tampons!?
Hey, i just started using tampons (I'm 15) and i was wondering, how do you dispose of them!? I wrapped mine in many layers of toilet paper and chucked it out in the open bin, but i was wondering, would it start to smell through the toilet paper!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I do exactly what you do!.!.!.!.and DON'T flush them!. I have lived in an all-female college dorm for the last two years and the maintenance staff put signs up in all of our bathrooms telling us not to flush them because they were clogging drains!. =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey, Well I Find That The Plastic Wrappers That Pads Are Wrapped In Are Great For Wrapping All Sanitary Items In, I've Had No Trouble With The Smell, But You Could Always Put Them In A Plastic Bag If You Fell Unsure, The Bin Gets Emptied At Least Once A Week, So I Wouldnt Worry To Much About It!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you may flush them or do as you said but its more practical to close the bin as they may smell or otherwise empty it often!. If you're not the only person using the bathroom i wouls suggest that you flush them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

u mean an open bin in ur home!? if its a common bin that is emptied almost every day, or at least 3 times a week then it wont have time to begin to smell!. so just remember to empty the bin and it will be ok!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i wrap mine in toilet paper and throw it in the bin, it doesnt smell if the bin gets emptied!. i dont think you should ever flush them down the toilet!. imagine if it gets clogged, how embarrassed would you be !?Www@Answer-Health@Com

the tampon should be flushable, check the packaging!. te applicator and the wrapper might not be flushable, it depends on the brand and the type you use!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
