No. NO! Unless you like clearing stoppages (or calling and paying the plumber to do so), DO NOT put tampons in the toilet. Even if it says on the box that they're flushable. LIES! DON'T DO IT! EVER! i flush the tampon itself, but not the applcators..nothing has ever gotten clogged or stuck. but if you flush the applicators, it most likely will, even if it is cardboard.
Even if a tampon says it is flush able it is bad for the environment. Tampons take years to decompose and cause lots of Plumbing problems. Plumbers of America want you to flush them as it is good for their business. just wrap them up in paper and throw them in the trash.
Don't even get me started about condoms. These will never decompose and are bad for the environment. The best way it to empty the contents into the sink and throw away the rubber in the trash can. kylekeith knows all

∙ 7y agoNo, tampons are not flushable.
Tampons don't breakdown in water like waste and toilet paper does, instead they can expand to up to ten times their original size in water. Tampons can easily cause blockages either in your own system or further-up the sewage system leading to potentially very expensive and messy damage if pipes burst or flooding occurs. Tampons can also bypass sewage treatment plants so find their way into waterways or washing up on beaches via the sewage system. Tampons should never be flushed.

Can you flush tampons down RV toilets?
No, you cannot flush tampons down any toilet.Tampons don't break-down in water, instead they expand which can cause serious problems such as blockages i any toilet system. In normal toilets the tampons can also bypass sewage treatment so end-up in waterways such as in rivers and the ocean, where they are an eyesore and can harm wildlife. Tampons should always be wrapped-up and thrown in the bin, that's what bins are there for.
Can you flush tampons down the toilet when using a septic tank?
You cannot flush tampons down any toilet. Although tampon manufacturers claim their products are flushable they say this to make their products seem more convenient and don't care about what they can do to the sewage system: blocking the toilet or pipes further-up the system, which can cost billions per year for water authorities to fix. Furthermore tampons can bypass sewage treatment and make it into the sea. Always wrap-up your tampons and throw in the bin.
