I do not know how it is in other states but in CA every bathroom stall has either small trash can placed in a corner or metal trash receptacle attached on stall wall (inside). Multiple big trash cans in general bathroom area. If there are none in a stall, take bunch of paper napkins from the wall dispenser, go in the stall, change, wrap the wet pad in paper napkins and throw that in a garbage can. If they see that you hold something that resembles bunch of hand paper tissues nobody will even pay attention. We ladies have to do that kind of stuff our whole lives. And I mean who is asking "what is in your trash bag" ? - honestly, I would ask that person if he/she needs some mental health counseling, or what ? 😵‍💫

@diverjer Change in a stall and then walk out with it folded and throw it in the trash like the man you are and go about your day and be thankful that you haven't had to do it for a lifetime. All of the young and middle-aged men in my wife's office team knew of my cancer and couldn't have been more supportive of both of us. My sports official crews knew of my cancer and understood when I had to bee line to the rest room between periods during my urgency days. Many of us had in-depth discussions as a few had it themselves and a couple of others were high heredity risks. All were supportive. Many said nothing. Viewed it as an opportunity to educate and demystify the disease. We need to lead, not duck.
