Never flush it. A two-minute guide to hygienic, considerate pad disposal at home, at school and on the go.

Changing a pad is easy. Knowing what to do with the used one, especially in someone else's bathroom, is where the awkwardness creeps in. Here's the simple way.

Step by step

• Roll the used pad up tightly, sticky side in.
• Wrap it in its wrapper or seal it in a disposal bag.
• Put it in a dustbin, never down the toilet. Pads block pipes and drains.
• Wash your hands, or use an intimate wipe if you're on the go.

Why we include disposal bags

Not every bathroom has a covered bin, and no one should have to hunt for newspaper. That's why every Moody Box includes 12 disposal bags, one for every pad, so changing is clean and discreet wherever you are.
