Loved these as a eco-friendly and truly flushable pads. I've been using them since they wanted Beta testers a few years ago, so I've seen the investment and improvements into a great idea and product.... See more
Company details
Written by the company
We're Fluus, the creators of the world's first fully flushable period pad. We're on a mission to stop harmful chemicals against our skin, microplastics in waterways and permanent waste caused by period products. As well as being fully flushable, Fluus is the first truly microplastic free period pad in the world (we know because we built the world's first microplastic free, high speed manufacturing line). As well as respecting our planet, this means that there's no sweaty plastic against your skin. Made from cellulose plant fibres, Fluus is hypoallergnic and has passed skin and vaginal sensitivity tests, making it perfect for even the most sensitive skin. To make Fluus both absorbent AND flushable, we created our patented technology called Flushtec®. It is a combination of materials and first-of-its-kind manufacturing process which makes Fluus pads naturally absorbent, but they only start breaking down once they're fully submerged in turbulent water. Want to know how it really works? The volume and hydraulic action of the flush tear the pad apart. It breaks down even further as it travels through the drainline. The disintegrated pad arrives at the water treatment centre, having broken down into cellulose plant fibres half the size of an eyelash. Here it can safely pass through the screens where it is treated and converted into biogas and fertiliser, creating a circular product lifecycle. Conventional pads contain 90% plastic and take over 500 years to degrade. We believe companies should take responsibility for the complete lifecycle of the products they create. Flush and forget.

Hi there,
I'm really sorry to hear that you found the pads uncomfortable. Whilst our pads are hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested, we fully understand that they won't be the right solution for everyone. We appreciate your feedback and please do reach out to us at hello@wearefluus.com if you wanted to speak with a member of the team about how we could improve.

Great pads
Great pads. I would love panty liner options and larger options for nighttime in future but so far they worked well. They need to be cheaper as i can get £2 for about 2 packs more in Costco and other places. They’re double the price so price needs to be less

Hey Charlotte,
Thanks for your review. It feels like you're one step ahead of us here as we've got two exciting product launches on the horizon!

Amazing, truly absorbent and flushable
These pads are amazing, I was skeptical about them, expecting their absorbency to be terrible and for them not to flush. Wrong on both counts - they work absolutely brilliantly, feel great on my skin and flush down easily. Total game changer.

Great idea unfortunately need tweaks
I love the idea of this product and the sustainability behind it but unfortunately for me the pads was no good I felt the sticky pads was to rough against my skin and didn't stick well I suffer with adenomyosis and have a very heavy flow so was hoping the pads was a little longer and wider at the back for better protection if little tweaks can be made I think this will be a great for any period

Hey there,
I'm really sorry to hear that Fluus didn't work for you. We know that our Medium Pad is not best suited to heavy flows. We will be bringing out a new longer and more absorbent pad early next year. I would love to send you some to try when they launch! Please drop us an email at hello@wearefluus.com and we'll be sure to send you a pack to try.

Amazing
Amazing product, easily flushes, great company values.
Absorbent, comfortable & all
The only con is that you can't really stock up because the adhesive will lose power with time but that's understandable

Hey Simon,
Thanks for taking them time to share your experience. I'm sorry to hear that Fluus didn't work for you - this is well below the standards we expect.
We know that everyone's bodies and flows are completely unique, and that we need to develop more products to cater to this. We are working on this and I hope that we'll have a microplastic fee solution for you in the future.
Thanks again for trying Fluus.

Amazing pads, 100% recommend!
Amazing pads, as someone who is allergic to a lot of adhesive products and normal pads- these have literally been life saving!
Really comfortable, great that they are 100% flushable and extremely convenient to take anywhere!
Will continue to use them for as long as they’re available! 🖤

Hey Chandell,
This is absolutely brilliant! We've heard from lots of customers that Fluus is super gentle and doesn't cause the same irritation or allergic reactions they get from other pads. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. We love hearing stories like these!
All the best,

I received these to review and very disappointed, the pad had literally disintegrated by the time it came to change my pad & the coverage was not great as the pad leaked. The one positive I did find was that they were comfortable to wear & were non irritant like some can be,

Hi Geri,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. The flushable nature of Fluus does mean that it is designed to break down, but it definitely shouldn't disintegrate or leak. I'm sorry you experienced this.
We are developing Heavy Pads that are longer and more absorbent, and I'd be happy to send you some to try as it sounds like they may be better suited. If you'd be open to giving us another go, please do reach out to us at hello@wearefluus.com, and I'll arrange for a pack to be sent when we launch them in the new year.
Thanks again for trying Fluus.

Great idea....but..
Great idea....
Very uncomfortable, don't stick at all.
All round not comfortable and don't stay in place.
Great idea though.

Hey Molly,
I'm really sorry that you had issues with the adhesive and found the pad uncomfortable. I can see that your order was from over 4 months ago, and we've subsequently made improvements to both the adhesive and overall comfort of the pad. I would love to send you a box of our latest pads to try free of charge if you'd be willing to give us another go? If so, please send us an email at hello@wearefluus.com, and I'll arrange this for you.
Thanks again for giving us a go.

So thin and comfortable
So thin and comfortable, also with the entire wrapping of each sanitary towels and the towels themselves being flushable, it made for such an easy, hygienic and convenient process.
I have a fairly heavy flow and these were fantastic.

We're delighted that Fluus perform for you - especially with a fairly heavy flow. Thanks for the brilliant review Em!
its a great thing to have flushable…
its a great thing to have flushable pads and completely plastic free, but when it starts falling apart while you wear it as if i had cotton wool there - it's not great. the whole concept is amazing and i wish i could continue my subscription, but i am not going to until you make the pads more durable, so they stick better and mostly don't start going apart as i am wearing it.
thanks

Hi Maryam, I'm sorry to hear that Fluus didn't work for you. We know that everyone's bodies and flows are completely unique, and that we need to develop more products to meet different flows and body shapes. We're working on this and I hope that we'll have a microplastic fee solution for you in the future.
Thanks again for trying Fluus.
Finally - flushable period products
So good to have genuinely flushable period products available. Keep up the great work Fluus!
