The Hidden Danger of Flushed Hygiene Products

Feminine hygiene products present severe risks to plumbing infrastructure through their designed absorbency. Expansion within pipes creates total blockages that require professional intervention.

Trash disposal remains the only safe method for these products, preventing costly repairs and maintaining public health standards.
