You cannot flush tampons down any toilet.
Although tampon manufacturers claim their products are flushable they say this to make their products seem more convenient and don't care about what they can do to the sewage system: blocking the toilet or pipes further-up the system, which can cost billions per year for water authorities to fix. Furthermore tampons can bypass sewage treatment and make it into the sea.
Always wrap-up your tampons and throw in the bin.

Maintaining Your Septic System?
Performing routine septic tank maintenance will prevent your septic tank from backing up and flooding your yard. If a septic tank backup happens, it could cost you thousands of dollars to fix. Use a septic tank kit that you can pour down the toilet once a month. It will contain the necessary enzymes needed to breakdown solid waste material inside the septic tank, keeping fluid flowing freely through the drainpipe. Avoid disposing of materials such as Q-tips, tampons or excessive toilet paper, as these items will clog your system and are hard to break down. Consider using septic system safe toilet paper.
