DESCRIPTION

Conventional disposable period care products can contain plastic and chemicals that you don’t want next to one of the most sensitive parts of your body.

Organic Day Pad, reusable menstrual pads, will give you a comfortable feel during your period days and help you get rid of a whole bunch of plastic waste! Reusable pads are good for you and good for the environment. They are washable pads, which means that you’re not contributing to excess disposable waste, made of biodegradable reusable fabric pads.

Reusable cloth pads replace a mountain of pads and tampon menstrual products. Like menstrual cups, these are period products that can be used again and again–sanitary pads that are eco-friendly.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

GladRags pads are washable menstrual pads, reusable for years helping you reduce your environmental impact.
Eco-friendly, plastic-free, no artificial fragrances, adhesives, or chemical gels.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

How to use GladRags cloth pads?

GladRags Day Pads consist of one holder and two inserts. This ensures thorough cleaning and allows you to make them mini or maxi by using one, two, or even three inserts.

The pads have wings that snap around the gusset of most styles of underwear. This holds them in place while you go about your day--no adhesives necessary.

Place the inserts inside the holder. Snap the pad around your underwear. The smooth side of the pad goes against your skin, and the wings wrap around the crotch of the underwear to snap together.

Change the complete pad (holder and inserts) every 2 to 6 hours or as needed. You'll want to change your cloth pad about as often as you would change a similar disposable pad.
How to choose the right GladRags pads?

When you're deciding which style of cloth pads you need, the most important factor is the absorbency level.
When do I get GladRags Day Pads?

Choose Day Pads if you typically use standard absorbency disposable day pads or you have moderate flow. Choose the Day Pad if you prefer standard size maxi pads, Day Pad Plus if you prefer a longer and wider coverage area.

All Day Pads come with 1 Day Holder and 2 Inserts that allow you to customize the absorbency of the pad according to your flow.
Will GladRags cloth pads leak?

GladRags are designed to be highly absorbent. The flaps that snap around your underwear act as wings to protect the sides of your panties.
How many GladRags cloth pads do I need?

Menstrual cycles vary greatly from person to person. Consider how often you renew your period protection throughout the day to get an idea of how many GladRags products you may need to cover your cycle. You'll want to change your GladRags cloth pad about as frequently as you would a disposable pad of a similar absorbency level.

We recommend having about 6 to 12 Day Pads, 1 to 3 Night Pads, and 3 to 6 Pantyliners, however it all depends on your flow and how often you do laundry.
Are GladRags cloth pads comfortable?

Organic cotton GladRags are soft and breathable, which is so much better than plastic pads that can chafe and irritate your skin. You will experience the comfort and breathability of cotton.The soft flannel conforms to your body without the twisting and bunching up that can happen with disposables. And because there is no plastic backing you will have less chafing and irritation.
How long will GladRags Pads last?

With proper care they are designed to last at least 5 years.
Do GladRags work for people with vulvodynia, vaginitis or allergies?

Yes! Many folks dealing with these conditions find the pads helpful during their cycles. Some sufferers of these conditions have noticed that tampons and disposable pads can be a source of vaginal irritation, and most are unaware that disposable products are highly processed and may contain chemicals to "keep you dry" or cover up odor. Vaginal irritation, allergies, burning, itching, and frequent yeast infections can all be exacerbated by disposables.
Are GladRags good for postpartum (after giving birth)?

Yes! The Night Pads are especially great for postpartum.
