FAQ – Fluus

Remove all three peel papers and stick firmly to your underwear — they adhere best to natural fabrics like cotton or bamboo. When you’re ready to change your pad, roll it up and flush it away. You can flush the wrapper and peel papers too!
Some fibre or adhesive residue may remain — that’s normal and it washes out easily. Fluus pads are made to break down after use, not stick around for centuries.
Yes, you will notice a difference as soon as you take them out of the box! Our biodegradable materials have a more natural feel than regular plastic pads.
Once you have put the pad on, it may initially feel a little stiff, but it will loosen up and conform to your body within about 30 minutes.

Wear for 4–6 hours with light to medium flow. Change more often if you're exercising, it's hot, or your flow is heavier.
Yes, Fluus pads are made of plant fibres so they are not designed to last forever. To get the most out of your Fluus pads, use them within 12 months of opening. Fluus pads will remain safe to use after this time, but may not work as effectively.

Yes. Fluus pads have passed a rigorous tests following an internationally-recognised flushability protocol. Tests simulate the conditions in the toilet, drainline, sewage network and wastewater treatment centre to test whether they are broken down sufficiently at each stage. Tests were conducted by an independent lab and we’re proud to say Fluus pads passed.
Yes. While flushing is best for the environment, Fluus pads are 100% biodegradable and much better than conventional pads, even in landfill.
Follow the sign and bin it. Although these signs are usually to prevent non flushable products being flushed, it may be that the system is not well maintained or is often abused by other users. And - many places just don’t know truly flushable pads exist — yet!

Septic tank: Yes, though the pad may take longer to break down.
Macerator: We don’t recommend flushing — bin it instead.
If your toilet can handle 12 sheets of toilet paper, it can likely flush a Fluus pad. Avoid flushing in weak, old plumbing or where signs say not to.
Many wipes which have claimed to be flushable in the past have, in fact, contained microplastics and acrylic-based adhesives which make them tough to break down and harmful to the environment.
Our pad has 0% microplastics and water-based adhesive so it starts to break apart as soon as it is flushed.

Plant fibres, biodegradable polymers, and a water-based adhesive. They’re soft, safe, and microplastic-free.

The pad needs 100x more fluid and movement than your period provides to break down. It holds together during wear, then breaks down in water.

They break down when flushed and transform into clean water, renewable energy, and fertiliser at the wastewater treatment plants — unlike pads that last 500+ years in landfill.

Yes. They’re completely microplastic-free and non-toxic and they will never bio-accumulate.
