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 ??!!

I have a bathroom bin but it doesn't really get used by me! Guests are welcome to use it for whatever and there are tampons, pads and disposal bags in the bathroom
Toilet rolls - recycling
Skincare/body/hair empties - recycling
I use reusable cotton pads and sanitary products

I know you could take plastic bags etc to other people's houses but I don't know why you wouldn't want to make your guests lives easier- especially teenagers.

I came from a strict house and would have been told off for disposing stuff wrong and I'm so pleased that some of the people on here weren't my friend's parents. I'd have been far too nervous to risk being caught putting a pad in the kitchen bin.

As someone who's had a gazillion periods. If you can carry sanpro, you can carry a plastic bag, zip lock or one you can put a knot in the end. You can put several changes in a single bag as they're air tight.

Bleurgh. What do you do? Stuff it in your pockets or your handbag and sit there with blood soaked sanitary protection in your bag till you get home?

I mean if you need to fair enough, but that’s so disgusting to have to. I can’t quite decide if its worse than having to walk through someone’s home with a was of blood soaked loo rolled covered sanitary protection.

I’m guessing sone men responding here.

I also had very heavy periods. No bin in the bathroom / bedroom at my mother’s house or at fil’s. Used to use a plastic bag and take to the dustbin at fil’s as his kitchen bin is tiny. Put it in the kitchen bin at my mother’s, which she complained about... of course.

I kid you not if I went to someone's house and they had no bin in the bathroom I would flush my san pro down their toilet. There's no way am walking with a wrapped up san pro, no matter how wrapped it is, it can smell so the humiliation of having to do so, especially when someone has a open plan kitchen, it's just vile.

The person that said they carry their dirty san pro even from hotels, your just vile, seriously don't do that, I can't imagine how a person like that could have a normal relationship, it's like a man carrying around dirty condoms til he gets home.

I didn’t have one until my daughter started her periods (I don’t have any). She needs it for used sanitary products.

In my family we wouldn't even throw baby nappy in to the kitchen bin, it's vile and offensive in a lot of house hold. Imagine someone came to my house and walked to the kitchen with their dirty san pro, I would go ballistic !!! And never invite that weirdo ever again

Are you at my mum’s house?! She won’t have any bins apart from in the kitchen. When l was a teenager she insisted any used sanitary stuff had to be put in the outside bin straightaway. Even at 3am . I refused repeatedly and then we would argue

I'm afraid I'll also flush a tampon if there's no bin.

@watchingrnfire I wonder if people saying they do this are trolls. It can be a fetish. Because it would smell.

I would like to correct my earlier reply to this post;

Ew. You non bathroom bin people and people who habitually carry bags of used sanpro around with you are mingers.

Wow. I'm usually very much Team Minger when it comes to household stuff but I am boggling at no bin in the bathroom.

I don't have periods any more but I wouldn't get rid of the bathroom bin. Expecting guests to carry used tampons through the house? It might be no big deal in your own house but in someone else's?

Bin is lined and lidded and I would sincerely hope that guests would use it rather than wad up their Pads Of Shame. Jeez.

I'm waiting for the poster who has a wicker basket of sanpro for guests to turn up on this thread.

@Cheesywhine

Do people not flush tampons.

Good luck to your plumbing system!

Feel really sorry for teenage DDs of those without bins in the bathrooms why make life harder for them

@Bluntness100 exactly, totally grim. Who squirrels used sanitary products about their person?! not envy = nauseous

No bin?
One is courting disaster.
Our drains were blocked TWICE by tampons...
A hideous ''Rat king'' of tampons was retrieved by the drain rod man.
These at least never reached the Oceans.

I have a bin, with a liner that gets knotted and chucked out with regular rubbish.
Any recycling goes elsewhere.

This drives me nuts at my ILs. I just take little freezer bags and dump them in the outside bin when i have a minute. Its not just sanpro though, its my cotton wool from toner etc. Not normal. My mum hasnt had a period since she was 42 but at 73 she still manages to have bathroom bins!

Weird that some folk don't have bins and think it's s normal to walk around the house with used sanitary products and then put in normal bin!

@limitedperiodonly

That would be my SIL - big decorative basket of sanpro. She's a nurse so I guess she's totally at home with body stuff. Love her!

This happened to me when we had to live at PILs for a few months. I use nappy bags and tie a tight knot, it doesn’t smell. Put it in my suitcase if I’m staying and bin at the earliest opportunity when out of the house.

I dont understand why so many people are so inhospitable to guests.

I don't have a twee wicker basket on show but if anyone wants any sanpro they can find mine in the bathroom cabinet and help themselves. And deposit it in the bathroom bin afterwards.

But then if you put pads/ tampons in a bathroom bin, it gets emptied afterwards so whoever does that is going to see the used sanitary products anyway.

We not only have bathroom bins everywhere but we have a small recycling bin too in the main bathroom for card tubes and used product packaging etc. Yanbu.
