Tampons areflushable
Sanitary towels are not - they contain all the plastickyness. Although Frank Zappa cautioned against flushing either if your plumbing's dodgy..

Thank you
Am not sure whether to have a go at my gf you see.

In light of this revelation I may let her off.

Edit: although if Frank advised against it she may have to suffer.

Hmm I never thought
flushing them was a good idea - but then if the plumbing can handle my titanic craps I suppose a bit of cotton wool isn't much of a problem.

Who's flatmate
left a used one on the bathroom sink? Don't let her do that. But if she's disposing of them properly (wrapped, in a bin) you must let her off now!

Incidentally, they're mostly pretty environmentally unfriendly - buy these instead :)

Edit: And yes, Frank did advise it, but he also said he was going to ram it up your poop chute. You gotta take all or nothing.

Meh
I say go back to using those washable towelling nappies they used in Victorian times.

I would
but they are GMO free, so they can fuck off ;)

oh and I don't have periods

Indeed
I wouldn't trust anything else that bled for 5 days and didn't die ;)

How many testicles do you have?

( Fenris temporary Lazarus, Thu 31 Mar 2005, 11:06, archived)

ones kept in jars
that you've ripped off blokes who don't meet your standards don't count ;)

There was a bit of a fad
amongst Pagan women for 'Moontime Cloths'

I'll leave that to your imagination, lets just say they were not unlike the washable cotton things mentioned above

I don't really care
it just fits with my pseudo hippy persona. Mine get flushed ;)
( Dekazer, Thu 31 Mar 2005, 10:54, archived)

Wristwatch crisco!
Don't kid yourself :)

Unfortunately it is floating in my toilet. If it was in a bin there would be no problem.
( Jay, Thu 31 Mar 2005, 10:58, archived)

Fish it out
and bin it. Be a man. It's been rinsed hasn't it?
( Dekazer, Thu 31 Mar 2005, 11:00, archived)

Hmmm
at least 4 times by now.

I'm not pissed off on a squeamish level, just that I was always fairly sure they aren't soluable and will end up being eaten by swans sparking a Blue Peter appeal.

Check the box
They should break down fairly quickly :)
( Dekazer, Thu 31 Mar 2005, 11:04, archived)

Haha
went to check the box in the bathroom and found that my cat has had a massive shit in the bath.

*new anger target acquired*
( Jay, Thu 31 Mar 2005, 11:07, archived)

at least it was in the bath
could have been worse.

unless there was water in the bath, and you didn't notice before you got in. in which case is possibly couldn't have been worse.

Last night she puked all over the Sopranos Season 2 DVD boxset.
It was lying open on the floor in front of the telly. It's not mine :(

Ahahahahahahaha
Cat female? You poor outnumbered sod!
( Dekazer, Thu 31 Mar 2005, 11:11, archived)

both mine are female
all three of them piss on the floor for one reason or another

I can't fucking win, I might as well kill myself now.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 31 Mar 2005, 11:12, archived)

Female indeed.
She's mine, gf has one too - he's a boy and has dug up my lawn most succesfully since they moved in.

Christ I wish I'd gone to work today.
( Jay, Thu 31 Mar 2005, 11:14, archived)

I'd wee on it until it's almost
gone round the bend and then flush it to send it on it's way.

I hold very little illusions about my female counterparts, and am generally happy to do things like scrub the toilet bowl down with bare hands - but fishing used sanitary products out of the toilet may be a bit above and beyond the call of duty!
