Sanitary pads

The Risks of Disposing of Sanitary Pads and Condoms in Drainage Systems Sanitary pads may appear harmless, yet they pose risks when disposed of incorrectly. Manufactured from latex and artificial materials, they do not decompose. They may expand and become lodged in pipes, creating obstructions that prevent water movement and cause expensive repairs. Condoms, also manufactured from latex, may create similar complications when flushed. They may expand with waste or water, increasing their likelihood of blocking pipes. Once lodged, they prove extremely difficult to extract and typically require professional plumbers. To prevent these complications, always dispose of sanitary pads and condoms in waste bins, not toilets. Safe disposal protects your plumbing and wastewater systems.
