🚫 Please Don’t Flush Feminine Hygiene Products! 🚫

This blockage was caused by feminine hygiene products being flushed down the toilet.

Unlike toilet paper, tampons and sanitary products are designed to absorb moisture and expand—not break down in water. Once flushed, they can become caught inside the drain, collect other debris and cause a serious blockage or sewage backup.

The only things that should be flushed are:

✅ Toilet paper
✅ Human waste

Tampons, pads, applicators, wipes and other hygiene products should always be placed in the garbage—even when the packaging says “flushable.”

A small garbage can beside the toilet can help prevent an expensive and unpleasant plumbing problem.
