FYIYou are not supposed to flush tampons down the loo in any country (see also:condoms,cotton buds,sanitary towels).
Toilet paper is designed to disintegrate in water; these other items are not and therefore may not only block your toilet (surprise surprise!) but also cause problems further downstream.
Sewage plants are not able to handle these non-biodegradable items, which means they often block the system and have to be removed at great cost.
Additionally, many condoms, tampons etc end up passing into rivers and the sea, which is obviously not only disgusting to see but also presents significant environmental and health hazards.

Sorry to rant but people really need to think twice about what they are flushing down the toilet!
