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’m at my ILs at the moment and there is no bathroom bin. So so stressful. I use a nappy bag and store some up in my room and then take to the main bin in the kitchen when there is nobody around. But I can’t get over having guests with periods and no bin!

Incontinence is very common in post menopausal women.

Bins in every bathroom. They're for more than pads/tampons. I'd be embarrassed walking through someone's house with used sanpro.

Easier to take recyclables directly out of the bathroom as they're used up than to sort it later, anyway, imo.

No, I don’t have a bathroom bin - everything goes directly into the kitchen bin.

Even if I was at someone else’s house, no way would I leave used sanpro in their bathroom bin.

Yeah, let's make it more shameful for women. Ram that bloody tampon in your bag, you filthy cow.

Meanwhile, in the world of normal and reasonable people, it's fine to leave sanitary products neatly wrapped in other people's bathroom bins.

I hate indoor bins. Everything goes straight outside to the big bin. Only exception being when I'm cooking and I have a compostable bag in a container that gets washed after each use.
A bin is just something else for me to do 😂 I got rid of them all because nobody bothers to recycle when there's indoor bins. And I don't like rubbish indoors either. Smelly.

I can’t think of anyone I know that has a bin in their downstairs loo. We don’t have one either.

I’d never put a used tampon in someone’s bathroom bin.

What are you going to do with it then?

@Faretheewellmyfairyfay

Bluntness is right. The mind does indeed boggle. The way some people treat their female friends and relations...

My mind is boggled that some people cannot understand that the presence of female friends and relations in my house is so limited that I don’t need a bin.

When I do meet with female friends we tend to do so elsewhere.

Bathroom bins are gross. Do you really want your relatives emptying your sanitary products? What if they didn't empty the bin for a day or two. Yuck.

Somewhere there are bins in bathrooms hopefully?

If someone doesn't empty a bin for a day or two that's on them. I empty all bins daily, and I couldn't tell you what was in the bathroom one as it has a liner-I don't rummage about in it.

MIL and FIL have an entirely bin free house. I find it incredibly annoying to have to walk every used tissue, banana skin etc out of their back door.
And when they come to our house they shove all their crap into our recycling bin rather than the kitchen bin that has lived in the same place for five years

Oooh this is fun!. I thought it was just me who didn't have a bathroom.bin, wrapped my tammies in bog paper and threw them in the kitchen bin..🤣

I don't feel so common now- goodie. 😀

They really aren't , it feels so undignified to have to carry bloody sanpro in a bag trying not to be spotted go outside and put in the outdoor bin while trying to pretend not to be doing anything. Especially as I have to change my Sanpro regularly. I would change the bin regularly !!

In my workplace (nursing ) we have a Sanpro box with tampons in all different sizes , pads , deodorant and bins in a unisex toilet !! Why should we have to hide periods in the 21st century ???

I doubt it's done on purpose.

I wonder if the 'no bathroom bin' people think that the bins you get for sanpro in every public toilet cubicle are unacceptable as well? You'd rather stuff it in your handbag and take it home? Wrapped in just loo roll of course.

I’ve got a 12 yr old menstruating dd and I therefore have a bin, for her and her friends, so that they can avoid ever having to sneak it through the house and tuck it under the kitchen rubbish (as I had to when I stayed at my mum and MILs!).

They would actually be used. I have no need for one and it would be highly unusual amongst my friends and family not to use reusable sanpro. I would not remember to check a bin I didn't use.

They would actually be used

Why though?

@Sparklingbrook not particularly, public bathrooms are different. In my home I cater for me and my partner, we have a few female guests over in the year, but not that many to get a bathroom bin especially. I'm another one who sees their female guests out and about and when they come they pop over for a couple of hours and probably wouldn't need to change 🤷‍♀️.

@soapboxqueen

I don't have a bathroom bin and none of my family do. Never crossed my mind to have one.

I wrap stuff in loo roll and just put it in the kitchen bin.

All those times doing that, and it never occured to you getting a bathroom bin. 🤔😂

No bathroom bin in our flat either, I can't imagine the logistics. Do you throw away a plastic bag every day even if it is empty? Or do you check after every visitor, whether they put there something which requires throwing away soon?

We keep empty loo roll inserts at a shelf at the toilet (separate room here), as they don't do any harm on their own and we are too lazy to take away each one. As a result, any used san pro in a bit of toilet roll can be inserted into one of them and taken to the main bin in a kitchen as a discreet enough object.

Spat my bucks fizz out!

If we're hosting for the day then I make sure there is a bin in both bathrooms, with a fresh bin liner and then just empty it after people have left (without looking).

I hate it when people don't have a bathroom bin when I'm there for a few hours.

Do you throw away a plastic bag every day even if it is empty?

Why would you do that? Put out an empty bin? You can tell if there's nothing in it
