We&#8217;re talking tampon disposal and it&#8217;s a polluter of our rivers and beaches.<\/p>\n<p>Ground-breaking new research has uncovered shocking ignorance and angst about the simple question of how to dispose of tampons. Just 41%* of women surveyed know that tampons should never be flushed.<\/p>\n<p>Tampons are often considered &#8216;flushable&#8217; as they can usually make it past the u-bend, but the problems occur further down the line. Unlike toilet paper, tampons don\u2019t disperse, in fact they expand significantly when submerged in water; so they start to form blockages. Blockages cause overflows, with sewage seeping into homes and gardens and rivers; rivers lead to the sea&#8230;this is how used tampons (and other non-flushables such as wipes and condoms) end up being swept into the waterways, polluting our beautiful natural landscapes.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Ironically, many tampon users think they&#8217;re doing the &#8216;right thing&#8217; by flushing, as they hate the idea of adding to landfill. Instead, their tampons are hacked out of the sewers by the water companies and then driven to landfill &#8211; the same destination, just the long and much more costly way to get there!<\/p>\n<p>So how big is the problem? The majority of tampon users are flushers, a whopping 62%, which means an estimated 1.4 billion tampons end up in the waterworks each year. Even the enlightened binners are sometimes forced to become flushers, with 74% of women saying they would flush if no bathroom bin is available, a surprisingly frequent occurrence!<\/p>\n<p>Sanitary products offer ever more sophisticated design and materials, and yet when it comes to disposal, women are left to wrap their used items in a bit of sodden loo roll, or even worse, use the cheap nappy sacks which are not biodegradable and add negatively to landfill. It&#8217;s not very 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder that an eye-popping 84% of women say they find tampon disposal at someone else&#8217;s house embarrassing. And that&#8217;s assuming there is a bathroom bin at all! 52% of women say they have done the &#8216;handbag smuggle&#8217; (carried a used tampon in their handbag or pocket to find the nearest bin), at least once. While we salute their dedication to the no-flushing cause, there has to be a better way.<\/p>\n<p>Enter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalcollection.com\/shop\/fab-little-bag\/\">FabLittleBag<\/a>, the innovative sanitary disposal bag that is causing a mini revolution in the nation&#8217;s bathrooms!<\/p>\n<p>Designed to win over even die-hard flushers, FabLittleBag can be opened with one hand (rather useful when your other hand is holding the soiled item). It&#8217;s opaque, with no rustle, for welcome discretion. There&#8217;s a sticky strip to ensure it seals hygienically closed. That means even if there is no bin available, it can be popped in a pocket or handbag until later.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fablittlebag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/flb-usage-animation.gif\" alt=\"Fab Little Bag demo\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How to use your FabLIttleBag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Not only does it hygienically prevent the environmental pollution caused by flushed tampons, it is biodegradable and made from 35% recycled organic waste, giving it great green credentials.
