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.

Very happy customer.

I purchase Fluus for my granddaughter, she absolutely loves them. The fact that she can just flush them away without worrying about any effect on the environment is a big plus for a sixteen year old. She is very happy with them.

Generally very happy with the product and I love that it helps me reduce my environmental impact. The only flaw is that the pads leave glue residue on my underwear. But it does go away after I wash them

I am in love

I just got my first delivery it Fluus and it flushes just okay.
I am actually in love with the idea and how well the pads turned out. I am looking forwards to having them in different sizes (night pads, panty liners, …)

Such a breakthrough product.

I absolutely love Fluus!

Besides being better for the planet and for my body, I feel so much more freedom to flush it away whenever I am. Not afraid of uncomfortable situations like a toilet with no bin, or simply to have used pads in my own bin.

Really great pads that are fully flushable, even the wrapping. They are always trying to make the pads better so continue using them even if they are not perfect. They will be some day.

Excellent product

Excellent product, I have been buying these pads for a year now. The sizing is better and it gives a much cleaner feel than the usual plastic ones. Every part of the packaging and the pad is flushable so it’s good for the environment too. If you are conscious of water quality and plastic pollution I recommend you give these a try!

Amazing zero waste idea but not comfy...

The truth is that I really appreciate the idea about these flushable pads. It is absolutely fantastic way of saving the Planet. Unfortunately they are not very comfortable and soft like the other non flushable ones. I did use them for more than a year and now I'm gonna try the washable ones. Thank you very much.

The glue is so terrible

The glue is so terrible it sticks to my knickers and never comes off. I have to try picking it off with my nails, but it just breaks apart into small pieces and the glue remains on the knickers. It doesn't wash out, no matter how many times I wash my knickers. It has ruined my favourite knickers completely and it also sticks to my fingers and is really hard to remove from skin too. The very first box I received pretty much had no glue at all, but that was better than this useless new glue. Whilst I don't like Always, their glue sticks to knickers with no issues and easily peels right off without leaving any residue.

I liked these pads because they seemed like they would be much more convenient and disposing of them would be easier, but after the first ones which were pretty great with the non existent glue; wearing these new pads takes so much unnecessary time. This is because when I open the packet and peel off the papers over the gluey parts, I have to stick those gluey parts onto my old linen sofa or whatever clothing I'm wearing or paper towel to remove the excessive stickiness. I can only stick the pads onto my knickers after my time has been totally wasted removing the excessive glue. When I peel off the paper on the gluey parts, the glue itself breaks apart and just makes a mess.

I've never experienced such a thing with Always or any other pads, but I am really trying to support Fluus because the concept is so amazing and I have even shared some of my pads with my friends and family so they can discover the joys of flushing a pad away, but I'm starting to regret it. If the glue wasn't so terrible, these pads would be absolutely brilliant.

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. In order to make a truly microplastic free and fully flushable pad, we use a non-toxic adhesive derived from tree sap. It does not perform in the same way that plastic-based glue does, and I'm sorry to hear that it hasn't performed for you. We are constantly striving to improve - and our adhesive is something we've been busy working on in the background. We appreciate your feedback and I'll make sure it is shared with our internal team. If you have any further feedback to share, please do reach out to us as hello@wearefluus.com.

Thank you for giving Fluus a go, and I hope we can make it up to you in the future as we continue to improve.

Best,
Team Fluus
