Glad Rags have never disappointed since the day I had to buy one in an emergency at a hippy natural food store in 1998. After one day of using cloth, the traditional plastic pads just felt uncomfortable. I still have that one an more of them now. That one has washed clean and soft every time and is still comfortable. The overnight is soft, comfortable and doesn't shift or leak. Really happy with organic cotton pads.

3.5 stars. I have been using reusable pads for years now. Honestly, this product is a little pricy, but does seem justified given it's a small brand who offers unique patterns. When it comes to organic cotton, cotton in general is very resource intensive (primary its water usage), and the term "organic" has become somewhat greenwashed in the sustainability space. So if you're purchasing based on either of those factors, do consider those points and further research. As for actual product experience, I air dry these, so I find they don't end up feeling as soft as when put in the dryer. I have a medium-light flow and can usually get through my period with just pads and period underwear. For me, one of these works well overnight (7-8 hours) with period underwear. I would consider buying again, but will probably look at alternative options as well.

Glad rags are great. I like the new designs.

These work amazingly well!
They are truly very absorbent and have full coverage!
They wash like a dream after a few hour soak in the sink.

so much coverage!

I have very heavy periods and these are the best option I’ve found. On my heaviest nights, I can use extra inserts (I can even fit 5 or 6) and pull some inserts a few inches to the front and some a few inches to the back to provide even more coverage when lying on my stomach or back. No more leaks.
I’ve had mine a few years and they’ve held up great through many trips through the washer and dryer (not sure if you’re supposed to dry them but I don’t have time to separate and air dry this many pads - it has not affected the absorbency).

I bought five of these for postpartum lochia. Not at all absorbant enough! I ended up having to use disposables for a week, very disappointed. The design is horrible compared to the pocket pad design I've ordered from glad rags before. If these were the original design I'm thinking they would have worked better. Sometimes the inserts fall out because there only held in by the middle strip of fabric.

I have a very heavy flow and love the extra long protection this set offers! I feel nice and secure overnight, too. And of course my skin feels great without having adhesive and plastic rubbing me wrong all day. Bonus--you can snap the insert underneath any other pad style in a pinch and bam, extra protection when your flow runs longer than expected.

These are amazing! Fantastic absorbency. No leaks while sleeping. Very comfortable. I'll definitely buy more!

Night pads are the first time I have been able to sleep through the night with no leaks. I used to have to use 2 disposables at night, sleep in only certain positions, and I still leaked all the time. My sleeping position only influenced how much I leaked.
It is much more comfortable to wear a night pad with inserts than it is to try to wear two disposables. I was able to sleep comfortably on my period for the first time ever. It didn't matter what position I was in, the night pad caught it all. Looks like I will not be getting period blood on my underwear, sleep wear, or sheets anymore. I'm not complaining. Thank you for a good night's rest!

After a couple children and several years of nursing, my period went from being not a big deal at all to extremely heavy. (I also am over 40 and have a non-cancerous uterine fibroid that I am trying to manage without surgery under my doctor's supervision.) I am now in need of large maxi pads to back up my my menstrual cup and organic tampons. I've tried using my kids' leftover cloth diapers (prefolds and flats) and they work, but I wanted something that secures to my underwear. I gave the Night Pad Plus a try. Comfort is vastly superior to any disposable pad, but I've realized I need a cloth pad with a waterproof layer. On my heavy days, I soak right through this pad and the booster within a half-hour. I do like the comfort and quality, so for now, I'll save it for moderate to light days.

I started using GladRags about 15 years ago. Once my first batch wore out, I just slipped back into using disposables again. But with the advent of perimenopause, I found myself using more and more and was less and less comfortable with the amount of plastic and waste I was generating. So I ordered a batch of new glad rags.
These are HUGE, just what I want for nighttime use. They are soft and don't make the crinkly sound of disposables. Easy to clean. Glad I started using them again.

I don’t know why I haven’t bought these before! They are incredibly comfortable, plus you save the environment AND money! If you’ve been thinking about making the switch, go for it! You will not be disappointed!

I love the Night Pad Plus! The longer inserts give me the security of knowing that I'll be covered even if I wiggle around, and they're so soft and comfortable! I originally got the Deluxe Kit Plus, and I gave some of my day pads and liners to my sister, but I couldn't give up the awesome night pads. I ended up getting her the 2 pack of night pads later because I felt guilty about keeping something so useful from her!

In addition to them being very effective and what they are meant to do (highly absorbent, no leakage), there is something very comfy and cozy about wearing these to bed. They are SO soft and fit so well. Plus they are so cute, its nice to know I will use them month after month. I have also used these pads postpartum when my son was born- and I will again in a few months! And I cannot say enough wonderful things about the comfort that these provided after birth- they were wonderful!

I suffer from a lot of nighttime leaking from my cup during my heavier days. During my period, I often find myself up in the middle of the night, changing underwear and cleaning sheets. I decided to give the night pad plus a try.
Once it arrived, I was a little put off by the size. This thing is HUGE. It’s definitely not something I would want to wear all day. However, I must now say that my nights of cleaning up after leaks are over.
The night pad plus provides very thorough coverage and comes with two very absorbant inserts. The inserts are actually so thick that I only wear one and switch to the other insert to use for the next night.
Since getting the night pad plus, I’ve been able to enjoy more restful nights on my period!

Traditional pads left me itchy, irritated, and hatingthat time of the month. I almost never slept because I was so uncomfortable. Switching to GladRags has been great! The night plus are all I use since I need big pads (in fact, I wish a slightly longer size was available - us big bottom girls still get leaks). But despite still leaking a bit in the back, these are SO comfy, easy to care for, and they really do last. Thanks so much!

This was part of my sampler kit. I had the hardest time with this one. I did leak..but with heavy/very heavy flow and a history of epic leaks overnight ( really, up to my waistband!) I expected the possibility. Because this is so much longer than the liners and day pads, it extends front and back quite a bit. As such, your legs aren't preventing it from moving a little bit the way they would with the others. So if your panties are even a bit loose in the back leakage is likely because it can shift a bit at the end. This was part of my issue. The plus has more insert coverage than the other ( a good thing), and seems enormous just laying flat but if you need this, you get over that! I would order this again.

These overnights are seriously awesome. They do take sometime getting used to them but I'm happy I bought them. I'm planning on purchasing more. I love that they're environmentally friendly and save me money on pads and tampons. It's a win-win.

I love the design of these pads and that they are quick drying, with extra layers of more protection is needed. Despite following the washing instructions (and only line drying) the pad shrunk in length by over an inch after only a couple of washings. Not as much, but also a significant amount of shrinking in the wings. So I guess order larger than you think you will need to allow for shrinking.

This is my favorite pad from the Gladrags website! I love the fact that it is super long and I don't have to worry about leaks and I can still feel comfortable at the same time. It's good on light days and heavy days and the inserts allow you to change the absorbency of the pad. I wear these on my heaviest days to bed, during the day when my period is heaviest, or when I just want the added security on a lazy day at home. You can wear the pad on your light days without the inserts or you can use more inserts on your heaviest days. This pad is the most convenient and versatile in my opinion and I will definitely buy more! If you want more security and to keep the pads in place you can cut off the legs of stockings to keep the pad in place and keep the bulkiness down. I'm glad I don't have to worry about chaffing and irritation from plastic pads. Love these!

These overnight pads serve their purpose well for overnight use... but they do have a few issues.
(1) They leak on the sides. For some reason, the wings on these overnight pads are different than the wings on the day pads, and that means that, as I toss and turn in my sleep, I don't have as much side coverage protection. Without fail, every single time I've used these pads, I end up with a small amount of side leakage.
(2) They're really, REALLY thick. While that's not terrible for night wear, I certainly wouldn't want to wear them in the daytime. Trying to walk around with this pad on feels like I'm wearing a diaper.
(3) The insert coverage is smaller than the pad base coverage. To get proper coverage, I need to stagger the inserts, with one further forward on the pad, and one further back -- and that stresses me out that someday I'll forget and end up with length leakage too.
Good news is that these pads are super absorbent and they don't cause ANY chafing or itching. Hooray!

As someone who is approaching menopause, my cycle has definitely changed the last couple of years. I have a heavier flow, and due to the type of work I do, I can't always get to the bathroom as frequently as would be ideal. The night pad works great for those couple of really heavy days.

I had a horrible, itchy, scaly red rash all over my nether regions that every time I got under control, I would catch my period & it would blow up again. So I looked on my bag of pads for the ingredients to see what was doing this & was horrified to find NOTHING on the package. For all I know, there could be wood pulp, arsenic, & ground fire ants in there. That's when I started looking online for an alternative & I found out about Glad Rags. I was skeptical - I have a flow that just goes everywhere. I was worried that I would bleed through so I got the overnight plus which I use as my daily pad (I have a couple of normal size ones that I use as my liners for "light" flow) & it's been a few months now & I'm pretty happy. It takes a little bit of planning to make sure your pads are ready when you are but well worth not having an embarrassing & uncomfortable "problem" down there anymore.
