Can you tell me if tampons aren't flushable, why do mine say they are?

Not sure: Most tampons should not be flushed down the toilet - your's may be made from a material that is safe to flush. Take care.

Different material?: but still do not recommend flushing or you may still have to pay a plumber to unclog your drain.
