hmm I guess I never thought about that. I always flush floss. I don't want that nasty stuff hanging around in the trash.

I just throw it into the bathroom trash. It's the same as having used tissues in the garbage.

Because I have a septic system I am always careful of what I flush, and I have never flushed floss, and never will. I didn't know that people flushed floss and don't see why they would.

I have always thrown my dental floss in the trash, never down the toilet. For obvious reasons to me.

If hair can clog a shower or sink drain, and dental floss is like an extra large strand of hair, over time it seems like enough dental floss could clog your toilet drain too. So I never flush the floss.

I've always thrown it away. I can understand why you would flush it though, it seems as desposible as TP.

Unless you're a woman, you need to hand over your mancard like NOW.

TP is designed to break down when it sits in water for a few minutes. Try it out. Put some TP in a toilet and come back in an hour. Should look lik egg drop soup... you gotta add the yellow though.

Dental floss does not break down. It can stop up a drain worse than hair can.

Tissues don't breakdown as fast as TP does. You shouldn't flush them - put them in the trashcan.
