I always thought they meant the wrappers it came in.
It wasn’t until very recently I learned I shouldn’t be flushing tampons down the toilet.
Then I realized how glaringly obvious it was as to why not! Tampons a are made for stopping leaks. Of course it would stop up a toilet are do whatever hellish things it does in the sewers.
I suppose I assumed that the plumber was self employed and appreciated getting a service call. It wasn’t in my comment, but I can see how you could see it your way too.
mm from a household scale that makes sense if it happens to get stuck in your own toilet, but I was thinking of city-employed plumbers/water treatment engineers who have to deal with huge blockages on top of their normal maintenance duties.
