I love Glad Rags!

These only took me one cycle to perfect. I think it's important to share experiences so we can learn from others' mistakes. Going through one cycle will also help you know if you need to buy more pads and what types.

1. I recommend washing the rags several times BEFORE your first use. This makes them more absorbant.
2. I would use a towel underneath me in bed the first few times with overnights. Until you have washed them enough, they tend not to absorb very well. I'm sure it also depends on your sleeping habits. I sleep on my back which means I usually have a mess no matter what type of pad.
3. Don't forget to change your soaking water daily if you're not going to wash pads daily.
4. Don't be afraid of stains. Especially if you have the white/off-white organic ones. They *will* stain and discolor.
5. Wear well-fitting panties. I would not opt for tiny little sexy things during my period. Tight-fitting, well-covering panties seem to work best with the Glad Rags.

Despite these issues, I would never go back to regular disposable pads. There is a learning curve anytime we try something new. These are worth it!!

super fine

A purchase worthy of making, eventhough its slightly weird at first. My boyfriend used to be anti-reuseable sanitary products, but now even he sees the benefits. It's helpful to put liquid detergent on them before throwing them in the laundry basket, just to ensure a clean return. They are totally comfortable as far as pads go but, the keeper is still my preferred tool.

A Review for Women

Glad Rags are cloth menstrual pads that are so comfortable and clean-feeling. It feels great to be a non-contributor to the landfill. Many women dispose of hundreds of pads and tampons a year, but with Glad Rags, we are keeping the earth clean. It is also very healthy and makes that time of the month less stressful. No artificial products or chemicals on my body! Try them. You'll love 'em.

Menstrual cloths worthy of your moon

I began using Gladrags in the first year they came on the market. Maybe that's 15 years now(?); I NEVER went back to throwaways. Gladrags were the first to figure out how to make washables really practical: by separating the layers so that you choose how many layers to insert depending on your blood flow. This design also means they dry quicker to wash & wear. Gladrags come in unbleached organic cotton and other colored and print brushed cotton and are available in all good natural food stores

Go Organic Down There

GladRags cotton pads are the answer to what used to be my conundrum of using organic tampons during the day and then switching to toxic, synthetic, rayon pads for sleeping. These organic cotton pads are not only pretty (I bought the emerald green ones), but they absorb much more than a synthetic pad does. I use the day ones for nighttime and they are still super-absorbant. I highly recommend these!
