What to do with the tampon when your done?

When you remove the tampon you wrap it up and throw it in the bin.

Some tampon companies say tampons are flushable, although they will clear the U-bend tampons shouldn't be flushed as they can cause blockages in your plumping or further-up the sewage system so cause serious damage. Tampons can also bypass sewage treatment plants so end-up in waterways where not only are they an eyesore but they can also harm wild life.

Always wrap-up your used tampon in toilet paper or wrapping and throw in the bin - thus why they have sanitary bins next to the toilets in public bathrooms. In tampon/pad/cup isles you will also find scented disposable bags which can be useful when at someone's home and there's no bin available, these allow you to carry the tampons without blood or odour until you can find a bin to use.
