Today, I was Skyping with a guy I'm really into. I'm not supposed to Skype at night, so when I heard my mum coming, I minimized the window. She walked in before I could mute my mic and started bitching me out for flushing my tampons down the toilet. FML

YDI - why would you flush them down the toilet? That's stupid and bad in so many ways.

Few things make me laugh. Kids trying to go behind their parents' backs and getting embarrassed in the process is one of them.

Your mother ever heard of knocking? FML for that. And for Skype being stupid and having no real push to talk. YDI for flushing down the tampons and skyping when youre actually not allowed to.

If the guy doesn't accept you for something that you can't control (periods) then he doesn't deserve you.

He can, however, not accept her for being a moron and flushing her tampons down the toilet.

actually thy make tampons now that you can flush

YDI x 2! You shouldn't have Skype at night when you know you're not supposed to and you shouldn't have flushed your tampons down the toilet!

I don't understand how she deserves it unless her family has a septic tank...maybe? I've flushed my tampons since I've started and there is nothing on the box that says don't flush them (just don't flush the applicator...but y'know, duh). Tampons don't just infinitely expand, that's why there are different absorption levels so I don't see it getting big enough to block a toilet pipe.

What kind of brand do you use? Because all packages I've seen have some sort of warning to not flush down, and it hasn't happened to you yet then you're just lucky.

I have also never seen this warning. In fact the ones I used to use actually stated you could flush them.

Exactly. The only thing I've ever seen instructions say to not flush is the applicator. The directions say that someone can either flush or trash the tampon itself- whichever one prefers. Septic tanks and small toilets will obviously be at risk of issues should a tampon be flushed, but that's about it.

shouldn't have flushed ur tampon ydi

YDI. Going behind your parents back and skyping when you know you're not allowed to, AND flushing tampons down the toilet? No sympathy for you whatsoever.

I stuck a tampon up my ass for beer money once, USE THE STRING!!!
