Disposing of menstrual pads

Q: Is it ok burn the menstrual pads? Is there any gunaah for doing so? People say that this act creates nahoosat in the home. Is this right?

A: This is superstition. Superstition has no basis in Islam. However there is no need to burn it. One may dispose of it in a place that is concealed from people. 

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
