    Judging by the amount of make up removing wipes in the shops, someone must use them for that purpose. I've seen beach surveys which found heaps of used sanitary products along the shore. Of course women and men flush things down the toilet. Lazy people come in both genders. You can't just flush/throw things ''away.'' There is no ''Away''.

    One of the must unnecessary blockage I ever came across was a couple of hundred cotton buds with plastic stems flushed down the toilet.

    I find it hard to believe how anyone can be that stupid.

    I don't flush wipes of any kind or sanitary products down the toilet.

    The lads in the house do though, despite me constantly giving out.

    I'm not worried about the pipes, but the environment! Duh!

    At a wild guess, women with their high maintenance bathroom habits are likely the main culprits. And all you're left with to say, is condoms.

    I think it best if you just stuck with the biting one liners.

    Firstly you're not being very specific. You haven't mentioned environmental concerns until now.

    Secondly, not all women remove make up with wipes and/or cotton wool. There are cleansers that do that. And if they do they don't all flush them down the toilet.

    Lastly, don't attack me for trying to understand what you are concerned about.

    If they flush a lot of sanitary products down the toilet they might be lying about the "lads" part.

    I remember my younger brother having dreadful toilet etiquette. On one occasion he accidentally dropped a roll of toilet paper into the bowl and instead of retrieving it he attempted to flush it down.

    Utter chaos ensued.

    As a woman - i think its really disgusting. There is pretty much ALWAYS a bin in a cubicle you can use to dispose of tampons/pads.

    Lots of people seem to think its ok to flush tampons which blows my mind.

    Yes, there is usually a sealed bin in a public loo cubicle so no excuse not to use it, but what about at home? Surely you do not use an ordinary waste bin to hold soiled products.

    Why wouldn't you use an ordinary waste bin?

    For myself, my family and friends its never come up as an issue. If you are that concerned you could bring the item in question to your outside bin each time.

    I know there was a time when tampons were considered flushable, but it was never the case for pads - what do you think people do with them?

    I don't see why you wouldn't use a regular bin. Wrap them in loo paper, or if you still think that's gross you can use nappy bags.

    What? Even a small bathroom bin? I wouldn't bring it out to the kitchen bin or anything but stick a bin in the bathroom and put it in there.

    Are women the main reason behind work of what waste water treatment plants do with non biodegradable material? I am pleading with women to think about the environmental impact, when they flush something down the toilet.

    I think it should as important to have ads on tv to remind people of such, as is done for road safety reminders. So spread the word if you can... especially to working class women!

    Thanks

    Do 'working class' women flush pads down the jacks more than 'well heeled' women? If so,I'd be interested to hear how you came to know this interesting statistic.
