For the same reasons of the items on this list, condoms should not be thrown down the toilet. They are made of a material that can cause countless issues in the sewage system. The condoms contain latex, and it is used to withstand pressure and fluid. So obviously, that will not dissolve on its own when thrown down the toilet.

The diapers that come with flushable inserts are never meant to be disposed of within the toilet unless you want to deal with a flooded bathroom and a dirty apartment. After all, diapers have to be thrown away in the trash to avoid many other issues than a messed up flooded bathroom.

The cotton swabs are tiny, so we all think that they could easily pass through the drains. But never underestimate their small sizes because they have the power of being lodged in the easiest way there is.

So next time you are done using them, toss them in the trash.

Scooping the kitty poop into the toilet seems like the logical thing to do, but it is not. The cat feces are extremely bad for the environment and the drains because once they are mixed with water, they expand and become impossible to move through plumbing. Moreover, the feces are known to spread very bad bacteria in rivers and oceans.

#8 – Hair
