It's hard to believe these haven't existed for years, but flushable period pads have finally arrived. Fluus offers completely plastic-free, fully biodegradable pads that are made from plant fibres which are fully absorbent and then break down when flushed in the toilet. Yes, no more awkward sanitary bins needed, and you don't need to feel guilty when you flush. While most period products can be stuck in landfill for over 500 years, these are broken down and turned into clean water, renewable energy, and fertiliser when it arrives at the water treatment centre. Order the non-toxic Flushable Day Pads (£5 for 15) as a monthly subscription or a one-off purchase and halve your carbon footprint in the proces. Pure genius!
