tale of two moms with teenage daughters, in conversation

Mom number 1: Provided a replacement we didn't know we needed

We're letting you know that you find a spare (unused!) plunger and toilet brush in the bathroom. My daughter wasn't feeling well on the drive from the airport, so I stopped and picked up some medicine for her and a plunger and toilet brush. We didn't know if you would have those, and even if you did, we wanted to use our own, bag it up and throw it out, so you didn't have to deal with it. It turns out it was a minor thing, and we didn't even use the toilet brush or plunger and didn't want to bring them on the plane with us. So, we left them behind. We hope you store them and use them when yours are ready to be replaced. 

Mom number 2: Mother of the cause of replacement. 

I had to turn the water off to the toilet and plunge it.The water didn't run out of the toilet. It's all good now and working just fine, but we're going to need another plunger as the handle came out of the one that's there. She flushed her sanitary items and clogged the toilet. Running out to the store now to pick up some supplies for her.

Good thing I had a spare plunger. 

Do we really need to place a sign in the bathroom not to flush sanitary items? Do you all have these signs?

@Nash-Cottages-LLC0,

I have it listed in my house rules that only bodily excrement's allowed to be flushed down the toilet, and explicitly state, "items that are not allowed include, but not limited to: condoms, feminine sanitary products, flushable wipes, medication, food, cloth, clothing, string, paper towels, napkins, sponges, and hair/weaves/wigs".

After finding staining in the bathroom sink, I also have a house rule that disallows dying hair and clothing.
