Flushing tampons

Am
So my husband has told me don't flush tampons they clogged the plumbing. But being stubborn and having never seen it happen before I did. Well paid the price tonight it happened. Had to call a rooter plumber and apparently pulled a wad of tampons out of the main pipe. Soooo not worth it just throw it in the trash can! Just a warning don't learn the hard way like me.
