I used a tampon yesterday; and after inserting it, I flushed the cardboard applicater. ( The package said to do so) But today, the applicatior is in the toilet, unraveled, unbroken down, and the toiled won't flush. Am I not supposed to flush it? I really don't wanna tell my dad about this, hah but what should I do?

I wouldn't plunge it, it will go further down and probably plug the toilet more. You'll have to fish it out and throw it in the garbage, make a curve or a hook with a wire coat hanger and sort of scoop it out. Sounds gross but it is better than calling a plumber or telling your dad. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]

Just tell your dad, don't risk breaking the toliet mostlikly it just needs to be plunged. Next time wrap it up in toliet paper and throw it away.
