I'm not surprised.
had to do something similar on my last ship in female berthing.
Underway we have to separate paper and plastics. And before the plastic trash goes down to the plastic waste disposal room it has to be sorted out.
Shampoo bottles have to be rinsed out, that kinda stuff. And used feminine hygine products have to be taken out too. Applicators are fine, as long as they're clean (no giant stains) but... the girls kept trying to throw their used pads in the thing too.
The plastic waste gets pulverized and melted, and ... well i'm not sure how they actually dispose of it. my first ship melted it into giant disks but i'm not sure what the last ship did
either way... no one wants to melt down used pads. they smell bad enough already, there's no need to heat them up too.
(oddly my second ship declared them hazmat and they could only be taken to the hazmat office for disposal)
