Tampons

Julia • pcos cyster | pregnant #2

I dont use tampons so when i ask this, I genuinely don't know.

Are you supposed to flush them down the toilet or throw them in the trash (like wrapped in toilet paper)?

I ask because at my job, we have 1 bathroom. Its all women and there's a total of 6 including myself.

This is the THIRD TIME I've gone into the bathroom and have seen a used tampon in the toilet! Why wouldn't you check to make sure it went down?!
