To panic about bathroom bins (or lack of)?

[likeacrow]

Always wondered this if at someone's house and notice they don't have a bathroom bin. What the fuck are you supposed to do with your used period paraphernalia if on the blob? Take it home with you? Make a little parcel and attempt to smuggle it into to another bin? Try to force it down the bog?!?
Why don't people just have a bathroom bin...? What do you do if you don't have one (and are a menstruating female)??

There's no bathroom bin at one of the sites I work at. It's all guys apart from me so they've presumably never had to consider it. It has given me the push to finally get a mooncup but honestly trying to figure out what to do before that was tricky at the best of times.
I've never not had a bathroom bin at home and I'm suddenly thankful all my friends do too

I'm an ex medic so not squeamish in any shape or form but I don't have a bathroom bin as I think they're rank . Nothing nice is going to go in or come out of one so we don't have one. I actually don't recall seeing one at any friends or family's home either.

I'm really bemused by that, butler. Agree, nothing nice is going to go in (sanpro, hair and used makeup wipes in mine, plus occasional nappies) but you'd have all that stuff anyway; what else are you going to do with it?

Nothing nice is going to go in or come out of one so we don't have on
So by that logic you don't have bins full stop.
Madness on this thread! Ha ha.

This thread is hilarious in how polarized it is.

I can't believe people get so worked up over having a bin or not having a bin (or having a regular bin AND a recycling bin).

I seem to remember a thread about whether people should take their kids nappies home with them after visiting friends or not and the was similar outrage from both camps.

I can't fathom why people get so angry about things like this.

My x inlaws didn’t have a bathroom bin and when I first stopped there on my period and didn’t know I was mortified at having to smuggle my used sts into the kitchen bin.

Now my dd has her periods it’s a struggle to get her to put them in a bin and not on the floor 🤢. She would never bin them if she had to come downstairs. Has made me realised I could do with a lidded bin for the bathroom tho.

I remember a bad incident when I was a stupid 13 year old at a family members house with no bathroom bin and I ended up leaving in a tampon for 12 hours. I didn't know what to do, I would have had to walk it past a bunch of extended family to get to the kitchen bin, the toilet was a bit iffy so didn't want to risk flushing and I just panicked and decided to leave it.

Aw Snuggybuggy. I think I def would have just flushed it in that situation!

'For anyone saying why would you fish it out of the bin. Imagine putting a new binbag in the bin and someone comes around and puts a used tampon in your bin. It needs removing straight away and normal people would not waste an entire bin bag on one tampon.'

Why does it need removing straight away? It's not radioactive toxic waste.
