Women’s hygiene products like tampons and pads are designed to absorb moisture. This makes them dangerous to flush. In water, they expand and can cause severe plumbing blockages.
These products do not break down and can stay in pipes for years. As they gather, they mix with other debris, creating large clogs that are costly to fix. Such blockages can disrupt wastewater flow and cause backups.
To avoid trouble, always throw hygiene products in the trash. Many places offer special bins for safe disposal.
