fleaLadies, it's really quite simple:
Pads and pantiliners are not biodegradable. They include plastic bits. Therefore they do not go in the toilet.
Tampons are generally biodegradable. They are designed to go in the toilet. Exceptions may be made if the facility expressly requests that tampons not be put in the toilet, or if you are a country where the practice is not to put anything but human waste in the toilet, not even toilet paper (Greece, I'm looking at you.)
Plastic applicators? Not biodegradable. Not in toilet.
Anything you don't or can't put in the toilet (AND FLUSH, let's not forget that little step, shall we?) should be wrapped in toilet paper and put in the trash can, so that I do not have to look at it.
Signed,
Exam week is always the filthiest of the year, and I haven't even gotten to my Chik-Fil-A in the library rant yet.
