7 reasons why I would NEVER FLUSH a CONDOM down th

So let's get this straight. I have never - ever - tried to flush a condom. In my recent post I was quite clear an ex, years ago, tried it, and my Mum later found it "floating", having not disappeared around the U-bend.

I do not condone flushing condoms. I did not know he'd done it, before he did it. And to make that VERY clear, here's SEVEN REASONS WHY I DON'T FLUSH THEM:

The latex properties in condoms are reportedly like kryptonite for sewage treatment plants. These guys do a good job for us, let's not make it harder.
Used condoms cause blockages, sometimes referred to as 'Johnnybergs', and that's just bad. Real bad.
If sewers and drains become blocked as a result of condoms, it can result in a back-up of foul-smelling waste which can even begin to "bubble up" into your bathroom. Imagine that? Just gross!
'Only the three 'p's should be flushed - that's pee, p*o and (toilet) paper.
The more money the sewage & water companies have to spend unblocking our drains, the more our water rates will go up - so if you chuck your condom in the toilet, we all end up paying for it.
Blocked sewers can even end up spilling into rivers, the sea and on beaches. Again, that's gross, and really horrid for wildlife too.
And lastly, I don't flush them, because personally - I choose with most partners not to use them. And that's a personal choice.
PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH CONDOMS.

Thank you x
