Seriously though, yes, my gf had no idea why they were flushing the loving things. And I've opened the trashcan in the bathroom many times to put razors and stuff in, and I've never seen a disgusting bloody mess. It's always wrapped in some pouch or TP or whatever so you cant even see it. It's not a big deal.

Yeah and 'flushable' wet wipes are in the process of destroying the sewer systems of everywhere they're used. Just cause something says it's flushable on it's wrapper doesn't actually mean it's really safe to flush. Toilet paper is pretty much the only man made thing outside your excrement that belongs in the toilet and if you haven't l learned that by the time you're an adult you're probably functionally retarded.

Anything is flushable if you try hard enough. I dropped a glass of wine in the toilet while peeing once, and I just had to smash it up with the handle end of the toilet brush to get it to go down just fine, with zero repercussions.

I dunno why you keep trying to turn this into a specifically gendered problem, the same is true for wet wipes which are unisex. The reality is the number of things that can safely navigate their way from your toilet to a wastewater treatment plant is incredibly small, and the amount of renovations required to change this reality are staggeringly high. I dunno if you have even the most remote of grasps on just how vast plumbing networks are and what it would take to renovate them all but we're talking about a scale beyond your comprehension.There is also very little different in terms of ease of use between something flushable and something you have to throw away other than how often you have to take garbage out, all you have to do is not put it in the toilet; that's literally the only barrier here.

Also let's not pretend you're the progressive one here when you're the one who said

i don't think most women are as squeamish of period blood as you are. Personally I can't say I have ever minded throwing out my girlfriend's hygiene products.

The math in the OP seems a little fishy. I think they took a lifetime trash production and made it into a monthly measurement. Of ciurse it's late so maybe I'm reading it wrong.

Why aren't the little trashcan things in every stall? One place I worked at had 18 stalls, and only 2 of them (at the far end) had little bins. And so many restaurants just don't have one at all (and often no bin outside either because they have a hand dryer instead of paper towels, wtf are you meant to do with them? Carry a bloody tampon wrapped in tp in your bag the rest of the night? Hand it to staff to dispose of?)

It's like walking into a stall and realising there's no tp.

Lol at that article "The real green winner would seem to be menstrual cups, which you insert like a tampon"
Not unless you have a vagina that gapes open the diameter of a golf ball and have no sensation down there.

How about some 4' posts covered in tampon material? We put them in restrooms (and various public areas i.e. bus stops) and women can just grind on them as needed. Once a week a service will change the material.

I literally in real life had to shovel out 5 gallon buckets at a time, loads of tampon applicators that women flush down the toilet out of a digester tank so I can sandblast the pipes. Climbing up a ladder trying not to vomit hauling up that mess of tampon applicators, the ring portion of condoms, various seeds, mysterious globs, and being meshed together with pounds of hair. While dodging falling urine-esque crystals when sandblasting, that stuff hurts.

so ladies, when you flush your applicator. just remember the poor ol' guys like myself who have to manually shovel that out of deep dank multi million gallon tanks.


edit, the floor is slopped towards a jet black pool that can't be pumped out all the way.. don't disturb the pool...

An anaerobic digester? Definitely want to drink the black pool.

What women have you met that spray their menstrual blood? It's more of a steady stream of misery irl, just so you know.
The worst thing about periods is when the flow is too heavy to be contained, and you look like a horror movie victim from the crotch down. Bad times, my friends.

On a side note, how many of you men have earned your red wings? I ask because the thought of anyone/anything touching me sexually during my period makes me want to heave so I don't understand why men having sex with women on their periods is supposed to be a mark of manhood or some poo poo.

It sounds to me that the problem is the disposables, not the periods. You could just as easily blame diapers, or those little meat pads that the chicken is packed in (which are really just maxi pads when you think about it).

Yeah the pads are sticky backed so you can wrap them up in a little cylinder with the ladygoop inside and then just slide it in the plastic wrapper your fresh pad came in. same with tampon applicators.

Tampons themselves if the plumbing cant handle it you just wrap up in tp and then bury it down a little in the wastebasket like a cat hiding its poop
