I've always flushed my tampons, and I haven't had any problems, so I think you're safe :)

They say it's ok to flush, but I think you're better off wrapping them and throwing them away, just in case.

I flush mine too and up until recently i was told you really shouldnt flush them. But the whole thought of wrapping it and seeing the bloody tampon grosses me out so imma continue to flushing them.

Flush the tampon, throw out the wrapper an dapplicator though.

I suggest throwing them away. If a plumber has to be called because of a stuck tampon it could be kinda embarrassing to you not to mention things like that sadly can make you're rent go up if they have to call for maintenance often.

no dont put them in the toilet because if toilet backs up and tampons might come up and the might have something not to nice to say to you. Unless they are the flush able kind

I have been living in apartments and I flush them and never had any problem. My friends who live in apartments too also flush them and never had any problems

Wrap them and throw them away. Flushing them will clog ur toilet and water pipes

I would say it probably would be safer to just throw them away...that is what I have always done, I mean think about it, if you have a stopped up toilet that you can't fix and you have to call someone it is going to be so embarrassing if you have to call someone, rather than just emptying the garbage....

Don't flush them. When your toilet gets plugged up and they have to come out and use the plumber's snake - they will pull them out and it's quite embarrassing.
