Flushing period products may seem like the easy option, but the truth is, it’s causing more harm than you might think. From blocked plumbing to polluted oceans, every flush adds to a growing environmental problem. The good news? You can ditch the flush and embrace better habits—and it’s easier than you think.
Here’s how to break the flushing habit for good and why it’s time to make the change.
Why Flushing Is a No-Go
🚽 It Wrecks Your Plumbing
Tampons and pads aren’t designed to break down in water. They expand and cling to pipes, leading to clogs that can cost hundreds to fix.
🌊 It Pollutes Oceans and Rivers
Flushed products don’t magically disappear. They travel through sewage systems, often ending up in rivers, oceans, and on beaches, contributing to plastic pollution and harming marine life.
♻️ It’s Not Sustainable
Most period products contain plastics that take centuries to decompose. Flushing doesn’t just create messes—it’s an unsustainable choice.
