i accidentally flushed a tampon!?

I accidentally flushed a tampon!

My period was heavier than I expected, and when I went to the restroom three hours after inserting it, the tampon just fell out into the toilet because it was so saturated. I flushed it, but now I'm worried it might clog the drain. Do you think everything will be okay, or should I inform someone about what happened?

no tampons are not flushable.

But it is possible that it will be fine- however you might want to mention it to.. Your mother? (are you a minor?) and let them know that you accidently did, so that if it does clog they will know why.

We had one get flushed once before- and we did have to have professional plumbers come clean out our plumbing

tampons are biodegradable. they are meant to be flushed so you don’t ever have to worry about the mess. most cardboard tampons are made so that the whole thing can be flushed, even the wrapper! (though i would not recommend that.) It says it right on the box.

don’t worry it will be fine.

tampons are flushable. Now it depends on the brand and type of tampon you get whether the applicator is flushable

Ive never not flushed a tampon.. but i throw the applicator away

its fine if you just flush one by accident, it’s flushing them all the time that will cause a problem (same goes for cotton buds)
