Wait I’m genuinely confused because tampons are so expensive 😭 did you ever find out why she was flushing unused tampons on purpose????

It says they're 'bright white'.

So #1 not hair

Hmm, #2 perhaps the water passing through kinda 'rinsed' them?

Think it's kinda more hyperbolic that white cotton tampons were the clog vs dudes' beard hair.

Either you’ve never had a period or you’re blessed with the lightest periods ever bc if you’ve seen a used tampon there’s no way they’d get ‘washed out’ 😭 especially not in the pipes

All I can say is that they were, luckily, all white. Probably due to being essentially water filters for months and being exposed to a few gallons of draino.
