Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a resident of Lincolnshire, you may have wondered if flushing a tampon down the toilet can cause any issues with your drainage system. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we have dealt with numerous cases of blocked toilets and drains caused by improper disposal of sanitary products.

Tampons are designed to absorb menstrual fluid, and when flushed down the toilet, they can expand and cause blockages in your pipes. This is because tampons are made of a dense material that does not break down easily in water. When a tampon is flushed, it can get stuck in the pipes, causing a blockage that can lead to a range of problems, including overflowing toilets and sewage backups.

Flushing tampons can also cause problems with your drainage system because they do not break down like toilet paper does. Tampons can accumulate in your pipes and cause a buildup of waste, which can lead to bad smells and other issues. Additionally, flushing tampons can also harm the environment, as they can enter waterways and cause harm to aquatic life.

So, what should you do with your used tampons? The answer is simple: dispose of them in a bin. This is the most hygienic and environmentally friendly way to get rid of your sanitary products. You can also use a sanitary bin or a designated bin for menstrual products. This will help prevent any blockages in your pipes and keep your drainage system running smoothly.
