Disposing Condom

[H.ricky]

Does anyone wrap their condoms in tissue when throwing them away? I never have but its been mentioned that it’s a thing to do and now I’m wondering.

For me, I don’t really see the point to do that. You just put in the trash and keep it moving

I either flush it down the toilet (city sewer) or throw it in the trash. No reason to wrap it in a tissue unless you're trying to hide it.

If depends. If you live alone and you know you are the only one thats going to see it,?don't worry. If it was me I'd wrap it to tissue because i wouldn't want it sticking to the sides of my garbage bag lol...

Wrapping them in tissue prevents them from sticking to the bottom or side of the trash can. Not a fan of peeling a cold, wet rubber off of the bottom of the trash.

Don't flush them!! I used to flush them, and then had the main drain (city sewer system) from the house back up during a rain storm, when Roto-Rooter came out to clear the drain, there was a bunch of tree roots with a few rubbers dangling from the mess that he pulled out of the drain. He said it was best not to flush rubbers because they don't break down easily.

Flush only toilet paper. Everything else goes in the garbage. Not even facial tissue breaks down completely in sewers.

Not the best way, in fact city sewer departments tell you not to do it:

Dead fish, condoms, brown foam: Sewage chokes Black Rock Harbor

A gay resort I frequent in the Palm Springs area has big signs over all the toilets, warning you not to flush condoms because of what it does to their plumbing. (Of course, there is a lot of fucking there...)

However, be careful about disposal in the trash if you have a pet-- dogs have been known to pull condoms out and swallow them, with potential adverse consequences. I remember one night visiting a trick, we lost the condom (no, not inside him, afterward when I rolled it off). He was in a panic until we found it, because of a previous incident with his dog.

Myself or my wife just puts it in the garage. Never wrap it up in anything. Not really too worried if someone sees a condom in there

Tie a knot and drop in the bathroom trash. Never ever flush. I always use a liner in the trash can so sticking to the can isn't an issue.

If I think I might be having guests over for whom I'd rather not explain, I just empty that trash can before they arrive.

I tie them off and put in the trash. If i'm traveling I'll wrap in tissue so the hotel maid doesn't have to look at or accidentally touch them.

IDK why people do things like flush rubbers ...

This is what i love about lpsg. Thanks for the information.

Put it in the trash can after wrapping it in tissue, especially if you have children in the house or you may have some explaining to do earlier than you want. It is just common courtesy for others to not have to see a used condom in the trash.

 

[gaboon12]

I just throw them in the trash can. Pull the bag out and off to the dump they go.

 

[dlbijock222]

I dunno... My technique has always been not to buy them to begin with ... I am eco-conscious.

Who doesn't already know that? It's common sense.

Are you actually asking or are you asking statistically? Because the answer to the first is i don't know. And there's no way i could ever know how many people don't in fact know that. I can though guess accurately that statistically speaking there are people out there who don't.

Makes sense. I guess my approach has always been that sex isn’t a secret so what’s “wrong” with seeing a used condom that’s in the trash it’s normal

I really hope that this is a typo...

 

[svrocks]

I wrap it only when I use tissue paper to clean up afterwards. If for whatever reason I take it off and go straight to the shower then I just tie a knot and bin it. No reason why I have to waste tissue paper.

I guess it's more of a sarcastic statement. Ir's unimaginable to me that there are people on this Earth who are so ignorant to the world around them and how it works - that they would think it's ok to flush things like condoms. The only logical answer is that they just don't care.
