Totally awesome. I can see the government subsidizing them for locals for that reason.
For that reason, imported menstrual cups and locally or homemade reusable cloth pads are quite popular. However, both of those require more work and are messier than disposables. That's a big barrier for Muslims, who tend to be fastidious.
The moment women hear about the flushies, they'll mob the imams wanting to know if such use is permitted. Any imam with a brain will think for three seconds and say, "That which is clean is pleasing to Allah" and then go look for scripture supporting it. The principle pervades the whole faith -- things coming out of the body are unclean. If there's a safe way to stop that from happening, it's a good thing and will make Muslims enormously happy.
Some traditionalists will probably choose not to adopt the new technology, but I suspect that most will want it.
