Well, would you want to carry around used fanny pads in your bare hands?

Is it really that far to a bin that you can't carry them?

I need to wash my hands after going to the toilet,
and I can't do that if I have a fanny pad in my hand.

are they not flushable?

No, you're not meant to flush jamrags or tampons.

That wasn't my question,
will they go down if you press flush?
( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Sun 2 Dec 2007, 21:46, archived)

Yes, if you REALLY have to.
I have, if I can't get to a bin.

Probably,
but if the choice was between carrying it around and flushing it, then I'd carry it to the nearest bin, because it would fuck up the drains to flush it.

The thing is, almost all public toilets have bins in them, and common sense would dictate that Todd should have one next to her loo at home, so she wouldn't have to carry her jamrags about in her pockets.

No,
you can't flush jamrags. I think you can flush small tampons, though. I've never used them, so I wouldn't know.

Why don't you have a bin in your bathroom?

( Comma, Sun 2 Dec 2007, 21:45, archived)

We do,
but I think a collective bin of three people's jamrags is gross. I take mine away and put them in my own bin.
( Bob Todd whee, Sun 2 Dec 2007, 21:48, archived)

Not as gross as having them in your pocket.

There's a collective bin
of two people's jamrags in my bathroom. It is not gross. It doesn't smell, as all the jamrags are in disposal bags.

Why do you think it's any grosser than having them in your pocket?
( Comma, Sun 2 Dec 2007, 21:52, archived)

Because it's other people's jamrags.
I don't find my own ones disgusting.
( Bob Todd whee, Sun 2 Dec 2007, 21:54, archived)

Or at the very least a nappy baggie.

( Wicca'd Witch needs ideas for a new sig on..., Sun 2 Dec 2007, 21:48, archived)

They're already in a clean wrapper.
I don't put them loose in my pocket; that would be gross.
( Bob Todd whee, Sun 2 Dec 2007, 21:49, archived)

But there are bins in most toilets, and on the street if you were in public.
Seriously.
