"I feel passionately that women deserve a hygienic, easy and discreet way to deal with disposal""A mind-boggling 120 million tampons are flushed into our sewage systems every MONTH, each one potentially destined for rivers and oceans. The cost to water companies is around £80 million each year. I used to be a flusher who felt guilty with every chain pull, then one day I decided I could not flush any more. But what was my alternative? It's not exactly environmentally friendly wrapping a used tampon in miles of toilet roll. Besides, it felt gross, especially on heavy days. Nappy sacks didn't fair much better either."
