"This is why fluuus has created a pad that disappears entirely. It’s the only period product that breaks down in the toilet, similar to loo roll.

With the power of the toilet flush, Fluus pads break down into plant fibres and biodegradable materials, which means no permanent waste is left behind, as opposed to the microplastics and chemicals left by other period products.

“Our waste should not outlive us. A pad that is used for 8 hours should never stick around for 500 years. We spent the last 5 years developing the only certified flushable pad that is 15% more absorbent than the market-leader, and breaks down in days, not centuries,” Aaron Koshy, co-founder of Fluus, says."

New research shows at least 80% of savings from the #TamponTax ending have been retained by retailers; the price of #PeriodProducts has failed to fall with the removal of the tax.

Please consider signing this change.org petition calling on retailers to lower the prices of their period products to reflect the abolition of tampon tax and pass on the benefit to customers.
