It’s time to face an uncomfortable truth: the habit of flushing period products is causing significant harm to our planet, our plumbing, and our peace of mind. Every day, millions of tampons, pads, and applicators are flushed down toilets, leading to blocked pipes, polluted waterways, and environmental damage. But the good news? Together, we can change this.
By understanding the impact of flushing and embracing better disposal habits, we can take a simple yet powerful step toward protecting our planet and waterways.
Let’s dive into why it’s time to flush away the flushing habit for good.
Why Flushing Period Products is a Big Problem
Flushing period products might feel convenient, but they aren’t designed to break down like toilet paper. Once flushed, they can cause significant issues, including:
1. Blocked Plumbing and Sewage Systems
Period products are highly absorbent, which makes them great at doing their job but terrible for plumbing. Tampons and pads can expand in pipes, causing blockages that lead to messy and costly repairs.
2. Environmental Pollution
Flushed period products often end up in waterways and oceans, where they contribute to the growing issue of plastic pollution. Pads and tampons are made from synthetic materials that can take hundreds of years to break down, harming marine life and ecosystems.
3. Fatbergs
Ever heard of fatbergs? These monstrous blockages form in sewers when non-biodegradable items like tampons, pads, and wipes combine with grease and oils. Fatbergs are costly to remove and highlight the devastating impact of improper flushing habits.
