OK right away, I know I am in ethical living and you are all going to shout MOONCUPS!!! at me, but I am not going down that route, ok?
So, this is the problem: I have read a lot recently about how we should not flush tampons down the loo. Also, we have seriously dodgy drains and dh has often had to poke around at them with a stick and once fished out a whole load of tampons that has got tangled together in our drains so I know they are a problem. But I am quite a green person and want to do what is right ethically anyway.
So, I have started tring not to flush my tampons down the loo (sometimes they go that way because it is an automatic reaction) but I am not really sure how to dispose of them discreetly. Towels always get wrapped up in the next towels' plastic wrapper, but what do you do with tampons? I have been wrapping them in a bit of loo paper. Are there any other ways of disposing of them discreetly? And what bin do you use for the purpose?
