long time user..

I've had my 2 glad rags for close to 10 years!! -And they're still going strong. At first my girlfriend made fun of me for using them, but that's ok because now she is even more of a crunchy earth-girl than I am! Yay! (Maybe it was the glad rags that did it.) I just bought their "Keeper" which is this reusable rubber cup that you put up there and it catches the blood. It's pretty cool but I'm still not entirely used to it. it kinda hurts but that could be cuz I'm a wee bit petite down there.

I am happy with this product

At first I wasn't sure if I'd like this product. I made the leap of faith and bought 3 regulars and 1 over nighter. Now I have 3 overnighters and 5 regulars. I love how easy they are to use. I love even more that I'm not polluting the earth so much. I still use conventional pads on occassion but have found the brand Nature Care.

Save landfill space every month!

Every month, women use disposal menstrual pads that are made with chemically-based products and end up in landfills. Glad Rags changed all that! These cotton pads have a unique and effective design that allows women to customize the thickness needed to deal with their monthly cycle. There are smaller pad inserts that can be inserted or removed from an outer cotton envelope that snaps around your underwear - similar to pads with "wings". The soft cotton comes in several colors and even an organic version that allows you to pick colors you prefer or ones that don't show stain as easily. They clean by simply washing them in the washing machine. I use an extra soak cycle at the beginning and have never had issues with discoloration until after years of use. I also use a pad "pouch" they sell with a zipper to store extra pads in so I can change throughout the day. And contrary to most thoughts, they don't smell! I love them!
