The Dangerous Consequences of Flushing Women's Hygiene Products Women's hygiene products like tampons and pads are designed to absorb moisture. While effective for their use, this trait makes them hazardous to flush. In water, they swell and can trigger severe plumbing blockages. These items don't disintegrate and can linger in pipes indefinitely. As they pile up with other debris, they form massive clogs that are expensive to repair. Such obstructions can disrupt wastewater flow, causing backups that pose health risks. To prevent issues, always discard hygiene products in the trash. Many locations provide special bins for safe and responsible disposal.
