How to use a tampon does not include proper instruction to throw it in the trash!

Just came across this info on Tampax website "How to use a tampon" No wonder young ladies are flushing tampons down the toilet to dispose of them. Though the company may not have specifically stated " To get rid of a tampon flush it down the toilet" by not saying ANYTHING it sure does imply that this practice is okay. Shame on them!

Applicator Disposal: Tampax Pearl Plastic and Compak Pearl
Do not flush the plastic applicator or wrapper. After you have inserted the tampon, you can place the used applicator back into the wrapper and dispose into a trash can.
