Gross! Poor mom!
November 2, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Wow, I learned you weren’t supposed to flush pads or tampons before I ever got my period. I feel bad for your mom and the janitors in any public place you flush tampons, too!
November 2, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Cute mom, she’s even loving when asking her daughter not to flush tampons!
And Jeannie, lighten up, jeez!
November 2, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Your mother must be a saint.
November 2, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Oh COME ON. Who doesn’t flush their tampons
November 3, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Wow really? Where in the world are girls taught not to flush tampons? Pads no of course but tampons? I have never heard of this practice and I’m part really curious part disgusted at the thought of them going in the garbage. P

You learn early not to flush tampons when the toilet get stopped up and mom makes YOU clean it up!
November 4, 2009 at 9:30 am
DIVA CUP. Never worry about stopping up a toilet again.
December 5, 2009 at 11:53 pm
Tampons don’t stop up toilets! They’re itty bitty!
The only exception is the crappy toilet at my old place but we had bad plumbing and a slum lord! So I should say tampons won’t stop up MOST toilets…and invest in new plumbing if they do!
