24. Girls !!!!!!! It is sad that these slides even have to be made. The bathroom is disgusting and unacceptable! We need to do better. Next time there will be names attached to the photos.

25. GIRLS!!!!!!! Please begin or maintain good, clean habits when it comes to getting rid of your used sanitary pads or tampons. Used sanitary pads and tampons should be wrapped in toilet paper or a disposal bag, and disposed of correctly in the sanitary bins provided. You must never put pads or tampons down toilets as they can block them and cause terrible damage, leading to expensive repairs and DON’T leave them lying on the floor. When putting a used pad or tampon into the bins, it's important that you wrap it in lots of toilet paper first. Unwrapped pads might stick to the lid of the bin and that's just horrible for everyone else. If there are no special bins, you will have to put your used pad into the bins by the washbasins. Again, please make sure that they are well wrapped. Never leave used sanitary pads or tampons lying around on the floor, which is quite disgusting and really unpleasant for other girls to find. Some tampons have outer cases. Please put these in the bin too and don't leave them floating in the toilet.
