An interesting question about bathroom habits.

I was reading this article about Mexico that said that its sewer system wasn't created to handle the flushing of toilet paper, which alluded at the fact that they would, instead, have to throw it away in the trashcan. It seemed kinda gross to me, but apparantly they live with it. I didn't know if maybe this was more commong than I assume.

So what is it - flush or trash?

FLUSH!

I flush it, throwing away sounds unsanitary and horribly disgusting...

flush, of course and i dont have a garbage can in my watshroom anways...

Yeah, we live with this fact, we only trash it, but after a little while, we go to trash it in the disposal actually, so we don't really have a great problem... but a lot of people here flush it, actually, since the sewer system in here is a little more strong than in the full country, buy yes, we trash it, I trash it

flush it. it would smell terrible to throw waste in the trash, even if my nose doesn't really pick up odors like an animal, lol. still...

I wouldn't like to be a bin cleaner in Mexico then

I wish girls could flush pads/tampons.

I lived with 7 other girls my freshman year and when we started getting our periods at the same time... man the bathroom was not a happy place.

Flush.

Flush. The only time I haven't is when I went to Crete and their system can't handle it either.

Toilet paper in the bin? Ugh!

Flush! I can't picture anything else. I'm accepting of other cultures, but dude, that's gross.

That's pretty disgusting. Eww. Flush.

Yeah, flush it man. Like Rye said, I'm also accepting of other cultures, but that's just downright gross.

My mind burns.

It's not a cultural thing, it's just the sewage and piping system in Mexico City can't handle wads of paper being flushed, at least when I lived there. By now I'm sure some improvements have been made to the sewage system.

It might be disgusting, but considering all the other disgusting stuff that gets binned, it's not THAT disgusting.

n.nU yeah, is not that disgusting, because the toilet trash is only a while in the bathroom and then we go to the disposal, and is don't really smell, if you don't left it there of course, and wow, until yesterday, I believed everyone trash it too, now, I feel like a freak

Don't feel like a freak. :)

I flush cause I'm American and have that option available to me.

I eat it.

Flush. Definitely.

Thanks n.n, I will

I flush it.

We have 2 types of toilet paper: one that you flush and the other to dry your hands in public toilets, that we trash.
