Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 27 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers are generally pleased with the product's concept, particularly its flushable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly nature, appreciating the absence of harmful chemicals and plastic. Many find the absorbency to be excellent and enjoy the comfort and breathability compared to traditional pads. The convenient and discreet packaging also receives positive remarks. However, some people were dissatisfied with the quality of the product. Several reviewers found the pads uncomfortable, describing them as stiff, raspy, and feeling like cardboard. There are consistent complaints about the pads lacking sufficient stickiness, with the adhesive often remaining on underwear or failing to hold the pad in place. A significant number of users reported that the pads tend to disintegrate or break down within a few hours of wear, especially with regular or heavier flow, leading to discomfort and mess.

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.

Sustainable queendom

Love using fluus. Been using them since their first test and won’t go back! Love that they keep upgrading and getting customer involved with testing!

My bathroom waste is basically nonexistent now so feeling like a true sustainable queen! I definitely recommend!

Fluus have changed my life

Fluus have changed my life, the zero waste element makes me feel so proud and confident. I am also alerting to most other pads on the market so I was nervous to try but so glad that I did, I am always happy and comfortable with my Fluus. No irritation what so ever. I highly recommend Fluus.

Never going back!

Made a huge difference for me! No matter what pad I used, it always made my skin sore, and I hated using non-biodegradable pads all the time. I’ve been using Fluus for months and I’m so much more comfortable now!
I love that they’re completely flushable. It makes it so much easier to dispose of used pads and their packaging.
I only wish the subscription either came with an adjustable amount of pads, or an option for heavy flow pads. I get 8 day long periods with at least 4 of those days being heavy flow. I go through my subscription box pretty quickly.

Long time customer

I have been a customer for more than a year now. Love this product. I can’t go back to ‘normal’ pads anymore. These are guilt free when disposing.

I do have heavy flow so on some days I struggle with Fluus pads. But I can see team working on improvements and testing new variations to adopt to that too.

Overall super happy.

Great compromise

I like the quality as they are more paper like than plastic. I like that they are better for the environment. They absorb really well. The glue sometimes is not the best but once its on it doesnt move anyway! A small price to pay for less impact on the enviroment

Amazing & Sustainable Period Care

Amazing! Super absorbent, not bulky and made with no plastics (unlike pretty much every other brand!) I have been using these for just over a year and can honestly say it’s worth the change as they’re a more sustainable option for the planet as they are flushable and completely disintegrate in water so they don’t end up in land fill. The brand is very transparent about the materials they use and their sustainable ethos. And they are also made from plant fibres, so no harmful nasties! Will continue to purchase :)

Wow. I am impressed.

All I can say is...wow...I mean this is a sani pad revolution!!! :-) Finally, technology used in a right direction. I am very happy with the Fluus pads and their brilliant flushing idea. No more bins stuffed with used pads. I tried flushing the pads in number of toilets over the world and it really flushed everywhere :-). I would love Fluus to go even a bit further and greener by producing unbleached pads if that's technically possible... I am never coming back to unflushable products.

We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying using our pads. It's great to know they have worked well for you. As a general guideline, if you can comfortably flush 12 pieces of toilet roll, you can safely flush one of our pads.

The plant fibres in our materials go through a chlorine-free process to wash away any impurities leaving just the plant fibres. This makes the fibres more absorbent, and as a by-product also makes them white.

Honestly they’re amazing

Honestly they’re amazing!
However everyone makes mistakes especially when they’re more natural products - such as not being sticky enough under the pads (rarely one pad has no adhesive!) But I do love Fluus, they’re awesome flushable pads AND packaging and organic materials within!
When you first try them your body may have to adjust and you may think you’re reacting to them but you’re not, you’ll see if you use leading brand ones again after these for a bit.
But do what you gotta do, I still recommend to everyone to try Fluus :)

Zero waste sanitary products that perform really well!

I trialled these after seeing some of their products in a "help yourself box" in the ladies toilet at a local restaurant. I looked them up online, read about how they said their product was made, and how it was completely flushable... I couldn't believe that this was true, or if it was I doubted that they would perform as well as regular sanitary towels. But I signed up to satisfy my curiosity, and I can happily say that all their claims were 100% met! The pads are as comfortable as supermarket own-brand... a tiny bit 'papery' at the very edges so not as soft as the big names... but then they're not filled with plastics either. They perform well for my medium flow, I used the same number of pads as I would normally, and they were even suitable for overnight on my lighter days. And.... they really are totally flushable! Every single part of them. I have subscribed now, and will never be buying any other type of sanitary pads. I've told all my friends too :)

Gamechanger!

Such a groundbreaking product. It feels great to be free bleeding without the cringey plastic feel of pads made of plastic, wrapped in plastic 🤮 They are comfortable and not too expensive. I use them alongside washable pads so that I always have something convenient on hand if I haven't managed to wash and dry my pads (I have two small kids!) Overall love them, and would only stop using them if they were no longer affordable, which I'd be gutted about. Well done Fluus👏

Great product

I feel great using fluus because I've been looking for a sustainable way to manage my periods. Menstrual cups don't suit everybody and period underwear loses its effectiveness in 40 washes, so this feels like the best solution to all the problems!! When they come out with a larger pad size I'll be the first to buy it

Incredible customer service

Incredible customer service - especially Lewis. Very prompt and any queries answered well. For example, I asked whether they were planning to reinstate 15 packs and unfortunately they are not but I was assured my feedback would be noted for if / when they decide to make bigger packs.

Could do with some longer night time pads but otherwise fab for daytime use and I use my period pants for night :)

Feels great against skin!

I was delighted to discover these! I made a review straight away and found that they had remedies the issue by the time my next batch arrived. My 1st daughter is heading to start her periods soon and so relieved I can give her safe non toxic sanitary towels to use from the start.
