Enter Flushtec®, an innovative technology. Flushtec® makes our pads 15% more absorbent than the market leader, yet it only breaks down when you flush. That’s because of the motion and the amount of water (100x more liquid than the average period).

Flushtec® is the technology that makes our pads fully flushable. We use plant fibres and natural adhesives, which makes Fluus pads strong and absorbent when you wear them, but 100% biodegradable when you flush them down the toilet.

Abso-flushing-lutely! They’re made of the same material as our pads. Feel free to flush one pad, one wrapper and three peel papers in one go.

This product is 15% more absorbent than the category leader - designed and tested under lab conditions. But we’re a bunch of scientists, and tested by 1,500 members of our community pre-launch.

There are three parts to our pad:

1. Our super-soft topsheet is made of cellulose plant fibres (no plastic against your skin!)

2. Absorbent core and barrier are made from biodegradable polymers and plant fibres.

3. Bottom sheet is made from plant fibres. We use a non-toxic, plastic-free adhesive derived from tree sap.

Fluus pads are manufactured in Italy. We’re looking at moving manufacturing back to London by the end of the year!

Our pad is equivalent to 12 sheets of toilet paper, so if you can flush 12 pieces of paper, you can confidently flush our pad.

Whilst our pads are certified flushable in the UK, our materials are fully biodegradable and water dispersible anywhere in the world.

The motion of water breaks the pad down, pulling the layers apart and loosening the plant fibres as it moves through the pipes. The pad is then treated along with toilet paper and sewage breaking down, turning into clean water, renewable energy and fertiliser at your local water treatment centre. Most period waste will hang around in landfill for over 500 years. Our pad is gone in a flush.

We’ve worked closely with WRc (Water Research Centre) to get our UK flushable certification - the WIS 4-02-06 certificate, if you want to get technical. This is an independent, internationally-recognised certificate that gives manufacturers and consumers the confidence that our products are fit for purpose. 

We are septic-safe. We act like toilet paper if you flush us into a septic tank. The septic tank would require more frequent emptying with more mass introduced into the tank.

Yes. They are microplastic free, so will never pollute waterways or harm aquatic life.

We’d rather you didn’t. Fluus pads are designed to break down through flushing, and so a bin may not provide the right conditions for them to fully biodegrade. By flushing them, you know they will break down into clean water, renewable energy and fertiliser at your local water treatment centre.

Absolutely. Our pad has been tested for skin and vaginal sensitivity (in the same vegan lab used by LUSH), so is great for anyone with sensitive skin.

The pad itself is made from plant fibres and biodegradable materials with no added fragrances, harmful chemicals or plastic glue.

Yes. There are no animal products in Fluus and we never test on animals.

We recommend changing your pad every 4-6 hours. On heavier days, or if you have been active and sweating, we recommend changing your pad more regularly.
