How do I hygienically dispose of my adult incontinence products in public?


I am so embarrassed. I'm an attractive 54 year old, profession woman active in sports and have a fairly high income however suffer terribly from incontinence. I am happy with my absorbent products but haven't found one way to discreetly and hygienically dispose of them!! HELP ......

My mother puts them in the hygiene box, that is in the stall.
When there isn't one available, she wraps it in toilet paper & throws it in the trash, then puts her papertowel over it.
Sometimes she carries a plastic bag in her purse & puts it in there, just incase there isn't a disposal area avaliable.

I don't know, what about the sanitary disposal bin, most public female loos have them.

That's a hard one have you tried the pose pads, they are not much thicker then a maxi pad, and it would be just like throwing away a used pad while in public, which is no big deal for us women.

i would probably bring a plastic bag, rap it up and throw it in the rest of the garbage, i've been through it i know...good luck

use plastic bag for disposal its a better idea.
