How do I Dispose of Used Tampons, Pads and Pantyliners?

October 18th, 2009

You might wonder where shall I buy my used tampon, pad or pantyliner? Well the answer is, you should wrap either one of the three in toilet paper and then throw it in the trashcan. Filled pads and tampons can start to smell very fast, so you should make sure that you throw out your used tampons or pads in the trash right after you are done with them.

Do not flush a pad, pantyliner or tampon down the toilet. You might think that that is the cleanest and fastest way to get rid of them, but the truth is that flushing them down the toilet will actually cause more trouble in the end, since they will clog the toilet. Do not flush your used pads, tampons or pantyliners down the toilet in public places such as, school, work, malls, parks or any other place like that. You might think that since it isn’t your home that it doesn’t make a difference, but the truth is that it really does make a difference. Have you ever seen a totally clogged toilet in a public place that completely disgusted you? Well chances are that the reason it is clogged is due to someone flushing down a pad, tampon or pantyliner. Just keep in mind that you are not the only person that will use that toilet on that day and that there are other people out there. Picture this scenario, you have been having a terrible day and you need to go to the bathroom sooooo badly. The only available stall in the bathroom is the completely clogged stall. Now that would totally ruin your day even more, since you now have to go find a new bathroom. Just remember to be considerate of others and think what would I like others to do for me. You will feel a lot better about yourself and your actions if you keep others in mind.
