LONDON , June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- We've all been there - feeling uncomfortable about how we navigate basic personal hygiene - but despite the advice against doing so - flushing pads is happening (an estimated 1.5M daily go down the toilet) - causing blocked pipes and microplastics to enter waterways.
Traditional pads take up to due to the plastic, glue, and absorbent polymers they contain, but 86% of people want flushable period products that solve the problem.
Aside from the flushing issue - 68% didn't realise period products often contain chemicals like PFAS and microplastics but Boots is leading the way, stocking FLUUS in 150 stores.
Inventor and Scientist Dr. Olivia Ahn wanted to create a better way, saying:
FLUUS is using pioneering Flushtec® technology, so pads fully disintegrate in water, leaving zero microplastics and zero landfill waste, with the equivalent of over 2 million plastic bags already diverted from landfill thanks to FLUUS customers.
59% would choose flushables when travelling, 33% want flushables for privacy especially in public environments, 86% of period product users want environmentally friendly, biodegradable alternatives and 46% would switch to flushable options to reduce their environmental footprint.
Dr. Ahn said:
FLUUS pads and liners are available at Boots.com and wearefluus.com:
