Absorbent and flushable
Protection you can count on, with a sustainable twist. Our pads lock in moisture when you need them to, then break down completely with a simple flush. It's a thoughtful design that works for both you and the planet.
Flushtec®
Smart design meets
A unique, microplastic-free technology that makes our pads fully flushable, breaking down completely in water with zero waste left behind.
Certified Flushable
Our pads are powered by Flushtec® technology and tested to meet an internationally recognised certification for flushability. It is serious science, so you can flush with confidence.

Toilet Bowl Clearance Test
Our co-founder Dr. Olivia Ahn puts the Fluus pad to the test. One flush is all it takes for the layers to separate, starting the breakdown process as it travels through the drainline.
Flushing FAQs
-
Yes. Fluus pads have passed a rigorous suite of 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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Septic tank: Yes, you can flush though the pad may take longer to break down.
Macerator: We don’t recommend flushing — bin it instead.

What happens to our pad
Our pads are 99.4% flushable in the lab, but we wanted to see it for ourselves. Armed with a CCTV camera, we followed their journey through the pipes to uncover what really happens after you flush.
Not Sure Yet? See for
We know it sounds too good to be true, so put it to the test. Grab a sink, a vase, or even a showerhead, and watch how Fluus pads break down right in front of you. No microplastics, no landfill waste - just a product designed to disappear. Try it at home and see how easy it is to make a change that works for you and the planet.
