Again, so you walk through house (leaving bathroom with!) a dirty pad/tampon (yes, wrapped) in hand, to kitchen where there is food, you open garbage, touch garbage, rummage and put “under” something in said garbage (to add to the smell in kitchen), then walk back to bathroom to wash hands or… wash said hands in kitchen sink… Oooookaaay.

Sorry… unhygienic, demeaning, unsanitary. Etc…

Why, pray tell?

So simple to put a small garbage can in the bathroom and let all have dignity.

Even if you haven't until now, maybe time to rethink it.

Or don't.

Just IMO of course.

Best.

You said it so well. Dignity in indeed the key word.

So clever! IDK why I never thought to do this, when I always pack a similar bag for dirty laundry.

Every bathroom in my home has a covered trash can, with a liner, and extra liner bags at the bottom of the can.
I hate when there's no trash can in the bathroom when I am visiting someone. I prefer to dispose of any trash and wash my hands before I exit the bathroom.
