[pinned] this is the most shocking comment section on this app
flushing tampons makes me happy and i will continue to do it. i flush at minimum three a day even when i'm not menstruating
there is no way y'all are serious. we aren't supposed to flush tampons? isn't that the whole point of tampons? am i being gaslighted? i'm so confused
it's supposed to be wrapped in toilet paper and put in the garbage, just like the disposal of a pad!
but surely that smells
yk what else smells, shit covered tp, it's a trash can what else you expect
it really doesn't
you put your toilet paper in the bin...?
wrap them up put them in your pocket dispose in another bin it's littrally [literally] blood your acting like it's some biohazardus [biohazardous] substance
so u take it out an put it in the trash for everyone to look at?
i only flush mine when there's no trash
when would there not be trash? wrap it and put it in the trashcan in the bathroom?? or the trashcan in the house
i mean in public! some stalls don't have the little trash thing on the wall and some public restrooms don't. i've had it happen a couple times
yeah but isn't there always a trash can at the sink? or in front of the door?
there should be! just sometimes they aren't always there
sometimes they don't fucking have one
eh whatever i'm still flushing HAHAHAH
environment n animals :(
bc the animals in my septic tank will be in great danger
someone didn't watch finding nemo
oh yeah i love that scene in finding nemo where they choke and die on used tampons
lmao i just meant all drains lead the ocean but ok
my roommates pig would eat them lol
