Answer 1

roll them out in toilet paper and buy those small bags, the ones you use for dirty diapers and put them in there and throw them in the trash can thats what i do

Answer 2

TAMPONS SHOULD NEVER BE FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET.

Tampons are absorbent wads of material that expand both widthways and lengthways when they absorb fluids, this means they can easily plug up toilets and pipes within the building you are flushing them.
There are approximately 2.5 million tampons flushed in the UK alone (not sure on US statistics, but guesses are they are a lot higher), these all contribute to a huge problem for local water authorities as their pipes get blocked and damaged by anything other than human waste and toilet paper being flushed – it costs water authorities approximately $25 billion per year to sort this out, that could be put to better use.
Even the most advanced water treatment plants will still allow small debris through the system, this ends up in our oceans and on our beaches, per kilometre of beach you are looking at 14 tampons – so when you go walking along a beach remember when you see a used tampon it is likely to be one that someone carelessly flushed.

Commercial tampon manufacturers claim their tampons are flushable, common sense says otherwise, also remember commercial tampons are full of chemicals so that just adds to chemical pollution as well as waste pollution.
They say they are flushable because they like to emphasis the convenience of their products, although there are more convenient options that don't require as much changing or disposal such as menstrual cups.
There are no laws to stop tampon manufacturers telling people this.

Tampons should always be wrapped up in toilet paper or put into sanitary bags, this is what these things are made for, also why they have tampon and pad bins in women's toilets. You should be doing the same at home, if you don't have a bin with a lid already in your bathroom then buy or ask for one.

It's not 'eww' it's your period, most women have their periods, there is nothing negative about it, you really should think more about your attitude towards menstruation and how absent minded you have been regarding menstrual products/options - sorry to be blunt, but come on!

Answer 3

I was taught never to flush tampons or napkins in the toilet. I know it's unpleasant to handle the used ones, but your idea of wrapping them in the pad wraps is a good one. Or keep a supply of the small plastic bags in the bathroom, and just wrap in plain tissues, put them in the bag, and throw the whole mess in the wastebasket. I seem to recall there was one brand that was flushable, but I can't remember which one it was. Just be sure to wash your hands after wrapping and disposing of the used feminine products.

Answer 4

since my period is only 3-4 days long i just put them in a empty container like empty coffee cans or formula can something with lids just hold the can arm lenth away its better then putting it in the waste basket think who really wants to walk by the waste basket n see it plus it can also give the place a smell its really no more different then the disposing of the diaper geniue thing sounds kinda gross but i was embarressed to have company over n when they went to the bathroom they can see if you are on your period cuz they can see the tampon in the waste basket so i say an empty can works best its hidden n theres no smell but when you open it

Answer 5

that's technically attainable, yet after about the age of 8 it truly is going to develop into unnatural, as this isn't what nature meant for them. they're typically this way by using a clinical condition which incorporates a hormone concern that forestalls them coming up popular masculine features, or they're typically this way by using psychological issues brought about throughout the time of young children. which incorporates having a mom who needed a daughter and pressed female features on the youngster. the youngster will frequently be bullied. different little ones %. up on the very undeniable reality that they don't look coming up commonly and they have a tendency to %. on them as being an oddity (little ones clearly try this, it truly is not any longer fantastic besides the undeniable fact that it truly is fantastically a lot common effecting all societies and cultures). as a rule, that's proper to encourage the youngster to handle more desirable masculine features for his or her very own safe practices and happiness. in the different case they're going to be picked on and bullied properly into adulthood. Bullying will reason them more desirable psychological trauma than being informed to modify, and there is not any way that you'll preserve a baby from bullying 24/7 with out very almost locking them up of their room, which will basically warp them in diverse strategies.
