OK,

what do you do with yours!!!!

In my youth I flushed them with gay abandon, then had kids and didn't have periods foryears, then was single with 2 small kids and placed them in the bin and took them out once a week, when so required,

Situation today:

DP and I been 2gether 4 years

Living 2gether 6 weeks (taking it slowly)

First week together, the kids were at their dads and I was on so I was really aware and empted the bathroom bins all the time.

This time I am on and I am working PT, the kids are at school and life is back to its usual frantic self,

So today I went to work and worried all day that he would clean out the bins (coz hes on shifts and cleans the bathropoms on a Thursday)
abnd think that I am a total minger coz I don't triple wrap and seal my sanitary wear.

Help - he's not home ywt!!!

hehe that's nothing, I have a friend who uses washable sanitary towels and throws them in with the laundry, which her husband does

now that really WOULD kill your air of feminine mystery

Its part of life... maybe buy some nappy sacks for them? I roll mine up in the next ones wrapper and seal. Then wash hands

Perigrine · 16/11/2006 21:14

wash them

Buy special disposal bags for sanitary towels - Boots do them as do Sainsbury. They're like nappy sacs (i.e plastic/scented) but smaller.

perigruine... im lucky cause my 'work aspect' with a moon cup is at someone elses domestic house...

apart from that i dont ever empty my moon cup during the day anyway!

I wrap mine put in a nappy sack then throw in the main rubbish bag thats put out every day so they don't get forgotten.

I don't understand why it should be a problem for him.

slight disgression - a friend a uni used to drop hers in the small bin in her room in halls. she wouldnt even wrap them up - that was until the cleaner complained.

VoodooBanana · 16/11/2006 23:26

magicfarawaytree · 16/11/2006 23:26

or even fake!!

TheHighwayCod · 16/11/2006 23:27

anniebear · 17/11/2006 13:08

I wrap mine into the next ones wrapper then put in a nappy sack and into the bin

That would be fine. I would have no problem saying what they were , they are al wrapped up, he will only see little nappy sacks!!

He must know you have periods!!! lol.
