what's that got to do with it? Please don't tell me they flush sanitary
products. THAT is a #1 no no.

Which is exactly right in theory, but you have to make *some*
allowances in
practice if there are women between the ages of 12 and 60 or so in the
house.


??? You aren't saying that they flush tampons, are you? Come on, all of
us females over the age of 10 know NOT to do that.

But the trouble comes when the manufacturer says they are flushable.

My house has a septic system and when there are barbecues or other
gatherings, females are embarrassed to put them in the trash pail next to
the toilet. I'm almost tempted to put a sign in the guest bathroom telling
female guests to not flush them.

Well, on airplanes, they used to provide a little stack of waxed-paper bags
to containerize things like sanitary products and used diapers- probably at
the behest of the ground crew that gets to empty the trash chute in the
cans. I imagine those bags are available somewhere to civilians.

I worked one semester in college as a night shift janitor on campus. The
ladies bathrooms were always the nastiest rooms on the list for the night.
