Green Discovery #1: Sani Sac Degradable Feminine Disposal Bags


Sunday morning. I heard my son screaming in his room, I then rushed upstairs only to find out that the toilet he and his sister share was flooded. I was really mad because it could mean additional strain on our budget. I’ll be charged $120 for the services of the plumber again. This isn’t the first time that this happened, in fact before the plumber used to see feminine wipes and hair blocking the pipes! The culprit this time? A feminine napkin! It’s been a constant problem in our household, with three daughters - it can never be avoided until I think of ways to actually help them secure their used feminine items secretly. That same day I called the plumber and yes, there goes my $120.

I brushed off the incident but lectured my daughters about this for the nth time. At the back of my mind I need to find the solution to the existing problem otherwise I’ll be shelling out $120 monthly for plumber’s services.

That same day my husband and I dined at a hotel in Manhattan and I noticed a different kind of thingie beside their toilet paper slot. Goodness, feminine disposal bags! I can’t believe I was actually seeing the answers to my prayers! I checked their products online and found that it’s $79.85 for a 10 roll case and each roll has 125 Degradable Double Ply Sanitary Disposal bags making it less $0.065 for each bag, not bad huh? Most importantly, it is “green”, meaning its environmental friendly! It feels good that buying products such as these I am helping not just my family but the environment as well.

I said, “Finally, the solution to our needs!” I’ll be ordering the Sani Sac™ Box – Case of 36 white boxes with 28 bags each so I can carry them around. It is important that we have disposal bags like these in a handy because we never know what’s we’re gonna be throwing, right?
