No bathroom bin

[Veeveeoxox]

If you are at relatives house with no bathroom bins where do you put your used sanitary stuff? I've been wrapping my tampons putting in handbag and putting them in the outside bin. I would always empty the bathroom bin and my periods are very heavy so need changing frequently., SIL isnt menopausal even my dad who lives alone has bathroom bins ??!!

Actually now I've written that I realise how bloody irritating and disrespectful I find it for guests to have to carry used sanpro with them. You should never flush it!

I just wish people would think of their visitors.

I just can’t imagine making my female guests walk through the house with used sanitary protection. The mind boggles. They can flush it or use the bathroom bins, I would never ask. And the bin liner is simply picked up and emptied with the rest of the trash.

I’d prefer to miss a few recyclables rather than make my friends walk through my house carrying their used sanitary protection.

Exactly

A Pp makes a good point. As if you clean hair out of the drain during a shower and then have to go and find a kitchen bin.

While I'm here, can I say that not putting spare loo rolls in the bathrooms is equally as annoying as not having a bin.

I never knew this was an issue . It would not cross my mind to put a bin in the downstairs loo, but I also have a weird sewage system and cannot have sanitary products flushed down the loo under any circumstance as it will block.

I don’t have periods though, hence why this has never been thought of. I guess I had better get a bin!

How awful to make guests wrap san pro in loo roll and carry through the house! And the thought of san pro in my kitchen makes me heave.
Also, don't people floss or remove make up? Used up loo rolls? My bathroom bin is always full.

Omg how is it right to put used san pro in the kitchen bin!! We have bins in all the bathrooms, not just for sanpro but condoms, cotton wool, dental floss, hair from shower etc etc. and a huge seperate nappy bin for autistic ds who is in continence products. There is absolutely so way I would expect guests to traipse through the house with used sanpro or used continence products or have to put in their handbag 🤮. I empty them every feW days.

Wrap it in loo roll and walk through to the kitchen and put in kitchen bin. Not a big deal.

Ew. You non bathroom bin people are mingers.

I’m assuming the sanpro isn’t dripping with blood, seeping through the woman’s fingers as she trails it through the house! So it’s fine to roll it up in loo roll and pop it in the kitchen bin.

I have two bathroom bins, a small lidded one so no smell and a tub for recycling. I avoid having to change sanitary products in some one else's house. I wouldn't be keen to have to carry through the house to the kitchen bin

Would you expect visitors to do this? Really?

Eewww. Just get a bathroom bin.

As a guest either in a home or a hotel I put used sanpro in a tied up bag and take it home with me I know it's probably a bit OTT, but it doesn't smell if tied in a plastic bag (yes excess plastic but I only do this when away from home) and I just think it's nicer for my hosts, including any housekeeping staff in a hotel.

Years and years ago as a teen my mum bought me scented sanitary disposal bags. Since I only use them when away from home it took years to use them up, and I have no idea if you can still buy them? But I have a dog, I use dog poo bags these days!

I think sanitary wear in a kitchen bin is weird - especially in somebody else's kitchen bin!

I am NOT walking through a friend or relatives house carrying a wrapped used tampon and towel to put in the kitchen bin. Personally, I think it is much worse in the kitchen bin than a bathroom bin. If there is no bathroom bin I put it in the outside bin, or if just a tampax I would flush it.

@NichyNoo I can’t assume whether my guests may have a really heavy period or use continence products. As such I wouldn’t expect them to walk through house with these products. A bathroom bin does the trick and makes it more comfortable for everyone.

Do people not flush tampons.

Surely you just bag it up and take it with you to dispose of in your own bin? I’ve never left used tampons in someone else’s bin. Always took nappies home with me too, when dc were small.

@Blueeilidh I sometimes had to change every hour. I am not staying in the house when bleeding heavily.

@Cheesywhine

Do people not flush tampons.

I sincerely hope not.

@Cheesywhine no because they block the drains and cause havoc with water treatment plants.

Absolutely agree.

But then I have a loo brush as well.

This.

I would never ever let my guests feel like they have to stash used tampons in a flipping dog poo bag and take them home or try and hide them in my kitchen bin. That's beyond awkward. And I very rarely even have guests. Just get a bathroom bin FFS.
