Guaranteed to break down immediately, these Natracare Safe To Flush Moist Toilet Tissues are infused with antibacterial Witch Hazel and are designed to cleanse and refresh intimate skin.
Natracare natural, flushable moist tissues cleanse and refresh delicate skin. Made of 100% paper and an organic and natural formula. Each tissue contains soothing aloe vera and cleansing witch hazel to help you feel extra clean.
What’s more, they are certified flushable! Natracare Safe to Flush moist tissues are third party, independently tested to the specifications of both International Water Services Flushability Group (IWSFG) and Water UK. This means they are guaranteed to break down safely after flushing, and will also safely biodegrade in both marine and fresh water.
Many wipes contain viscose or even conventional plastics such as polypropylene or polyester – these have often been falsely marketed as flushable! There are over 366,000 sewer blockages in the UK every year, and over 80% of them are avoidable.

Are safe to flush tissues okay for sensitive skin?
Our gentle cleansing formula is designed specifically for use with sensitive skin. The moist tissues have been dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested on human volunteers.
Is the paper sustainable?
Yes! The paper for the flushable moist tissues is sourced from certified, sustainably managed pine forests. The paper is FSC ecologically certified and bleached using the eco-friendlier Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) method.
Why are the Fine to Flush and IWSFG flushable standards different?
Robust flushable standards are needed more than ever as wet wipes can create widespread damage.
The Fine to Flush standard follows UK Water Industry Specification (WIS-4-02-06). It is the only flushable standard approved by Water UK and all UK water authorities!
The IWSFG specification documents, developed by a coalition of national water services associations in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Spain describes the criteria that a product should meet to be compatible with being flushed down a toilet, and are intended as a Code of Practice for manufacturers to adhere to label a product as flushable.
Natracare Safe to Flush Moist Tissues undergo independent testing to ensure they meet or exceed the criteria for flushability:
- environmental protection – the tissues do not contain plastics or release harmful by-products in nature
- toilet and drain line clearance – they can travel successfully through wastewater pipes
- disintegration – they will break down or weaken within set conditions and timeframes
- settling – they sink in water
- biodisintegration – the tissues can biodegrade and separate into smaller pieces
Can I compost Natracare pads, panty liners, tampons and wipes?
Yes, Natracare products are compostable.
Do Natracare products contain corn?
Natracare use corn starch for the leak-proof layer on the back of our pads and panty liners. The film is suitable for those who suffer from corn allergies. The protein or allergen is entirely absent from the starch films. They use GMO-free corn, which is sustainably sourced as a waste by-product from growing crops.
Do Natracare products contain gluten?
Natracare tampons, pads, liners and wipes are gluten-free and produced in a gluten-free environment.
Do Natracare products contain latex?
Natracare products do not contain latex. Natracare don’t state “Latex Free” on their packs because of USA packaging requirements. Latex is used to make the wings on a sanitary pad more flexible. Often you won’t know if there is latex in menstrual products, so if you have a latex allergy you could experience rashes and irritation when using a pad. Natracare does not use latex and they have a full ingredients list printed on the packaging.
Do Natracare products contain super absorbent polymers?
Natracare products do not contain super-absorbent polymers (SAPs). Super-absorbent material (made from petroleum) is used to prevent leakages and absorb moisture. These materials are effective and cheap but they are harmful to the planet and our health. Natracare pads are made from only sustainable natural materials, which are biodegradable.
Do Natracare products contain plastic?
Natracare products do not contain any petroleum-based plastics. Most conventional pads contain plastics like polypropylene and super absorbent polymers (SAPs). These materials are effective and cheap but they are polluting to the planet and harmful to our health. Natracare pads and panty liners are backed with a home-compostable plant-based plastic made from renewable materials.
Do Natracare products contain resorcinol?
No. None of the Natracare products contain Resorcinol. Resorcinol is an ingredient found in some adhesives and is a chemical of concern. They use a medical grade synthetic rubber as the glue in their pads and liners.
Who certifies the cotton?
Farmers growing organic cotton used for all Natracare products, are certified according to international organic farming standards as well as to the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) Regulation. These cotton farms are audited annually by Control Union, an accredited organic certifier, and out of precaution, the cotton is also tested for the absence of pesticides and GMOs. Transaction Certificates follow our organic cotton from the field to processing.
All of the cotton used for Natracare products are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). In their case, also by Control Union.
- The Soil Association certifies Natracare tampons and wipes.
- ICEA and Ecocert IMO certify the oranic cotton used for Natracare pads and panty liners.
What does “cotton-like” mean on packaging?
Cotton-feel or cotton-like are ways of falsely tricking you into thinking something is made from cotton without actually breaking the trade description laws. These “cotton-like”, “cotton-soft” covers use synthetic materials and do not contain any cotton fibres.
Do Natracare products expire?
Yes, our products are biodegradable, so over time they will lose quality. Natracare wipes have an expiry of two years. Natracare tampons, pads and panty liners have an expiry date of three years. You can find the expiry date printed on the packaging. Storage: Please store Natracare products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or high humidity. This will help ensure you are getting the best performance and quality.
Is Natracare packaging recyclable?
