What to do with used shields and pads

DON'T put them down the toilet. 

There's a strong possibility these pads will block the drain. Put the used pad in a plastic bag; wrap it up in paper and dispose of it in a rubbish bin.

You may have seen disposal systems in unisex toilets where special containers are put there for women to dispose of sanitary pads.  On rare occasions you may see one of these containers in a men's toilet - but it is very rare. 

So here's a thing, how about we all put some effort into getting these disposal systems into men's public toilets and progressively into 'work' toilets.  One way to get the process moving would be to have men put used pads down the toilet and jam the drain.  That would get some action.  But it would also be irresponsible.  Rather, lets take the lead and ask councils and employers to 'do the right thing' and provide these disposal containers in men's toilets.
