This is my second time buying Gladrags pads. My first time was wayyy back around 2010, and I still have some of those pads! If you take good care of them, they last forever.
The 100% cotton is a must for me: with polyester/"bamboo"/minky fabric pads I get so much irritation (much like I would with disposable pads), but none of that happens with the cotton Gladrags. I like this set in particular because it lasts me my entire cycle and I don't have to worry about running out of pads. As a bigger woman, the plus size fits me perfectly and they stay in place in my underwear. The pads are, as always, well constructed, soft, and absorbent.

I used them for my incontinence, they work well, I don't get irritated down there for these pads. I am going to be ordering more soon

I had my doubts about cloth pads because I have a rather heavy period. But i had been wanting to switch to something more comfortable and environmentally friendly for a long time so I decided to take a big jump and got this big kit. I was AMAZED immediately. These cloth pads are ten times as comfy as their disposable counterparts, plus even on my heaviest days i never once leaked through! They held so much more than disposable pads!
I do wish there was a night pad with a longer, wider back. I always leak in the back. But I'm going to try pulling an insert back further at night next time I have to use them.
All in all, amazing. I'm so happy with how comfortable and absorbent they are! I cannot rave enough, I will never be going back to disposable pads. Thank you so much, GladRags!

I am highly pleased with this purchase! I did feel a bit like I was wearing a diaper on my heaviest days with the full Plus Night pad... but I also had no stains on my underwear for the first time in years. Overall, I feel great about using these and reducing my plastic waste.
Also, the customer service is fantastic. The stitching of one of my pads came loose during the first wash (before using), and the team was super fast in sending me a replacement.
Would (and will) recommend these to all my girlfriends who don’t like cups.

My only question is... WHY did I not get these sooner? These pads are amazing quality, and with five daughters in my home I have already saved exponential amounts of money!

I'm really glad I made the switch from disposable feminine care products, to Glad Rags. I'm 40 years old so having my period is nothing new, but traditional pads irritated my skin and I hate tampons. I got one pad to 'try out' and chose to go for it and make the switch. Even just one period in, I felt more comfortable, and there was minimal stains after I washed the pads. Tip - in your soaking bucket put in some of your usual laundry detergent, and a half scoop of OXY Clean. That helped keep the stains at bay. Good luck! You won't regret your purchase.

The "curse" ain't such a bummer anymore. I feel more at one with my bod. The colors are groovy; material's sooooooo soooooooooft. The plus size is righteous! Right on to the beautiful people at Glad Rags. I gave disposable pads the kiss off and now I can lay back and go with the flow. To all you cats who aren't sure I say lay down that bread and get some Glad Rags because they are outta sight! Can you dig it?!

After developing an allergy to disposal pads, I discovered Glad Rags and I couldn't be happier. The pads are soft & comfortable to wear, such a relief(no more itchy rashes). I got the pad plus kit for the extra length & to have enough for the whole period. My only complaint is not enough pantyliners in the kit. But will be ordering 3 more. There are plenty of liners, I only use one at a time.

Likes: In addition to having cute prints, I like the fact that with GladRags you have some control over the thickness and absorbancy of the pads with their use of the inserts. This kit has most of what you need to get started.
Minor Dislikes: I don't care for the size of the carry bag, I like how it is designed, but I feel as though I scrunch my pads in (especially if you need to carry 3 or more). I also agree with another review stating that I need a few more pads to get through my period without washing.
Overall: I like the GladRags, and this kit is a great way to get started with a cloth pad collection. To those who haven't had cloth pads before, I understand any hesitation you may have; however I have found cloth pads to be less irritating to my body and smell a lot better (even my wet bag of used cloth pads don't smell). I have found I have to change them just as often as a disposable, and they have about the same level of absorbency.

So clean so pain free so happy that I did
This product

This was my first experience using reusables and I knew from the first use that I would never look back.
I was honestly a little angry with everyone that I had previously discussed period products with before for not knowing/telling me about cloth pads and menstrual cups. I realized later that the anger is irrational because many people still have no idea that this "alternative" exists. I'm working on changing this; I've already had one sister-in-law make the switch and I will not stop until the majority of women I know begin to think of the "normal" menstrual products as the alternative.
I want to thank you and everyone within the reusable community for creating such life-altering products! No longer do I feel wasteful or dirty during my cycles - I feel fantastic.
As for the actual product: wonderful. No leaks, easy to clean, and a perfect size for those with a bigger frame or those who desire a little more coverage.

I love love love love love this kit! It provides the extra coverage that I need. I have been using cloth pads since high school....over 10 years! I just bought a new set. The others lasted me well over 10 years and probably could last more, I just wanted a change. Gladrags has changed my life! Periods are not an inconvenience anymore. And I love knowing that I have cute designs in my undies.

This kit is a great intro to cloth pads. I'm so glad I purchased it. They really don't smell as bad when full as disposable pads do, and I've found them to be much, much more absorbent. I rarely actually bleed through the second liner in the day pads, but keep it in for extra insurance. The longer length is really nice for those of us who usually leak toward the front or back of a 'regular' size pad. Had to buy a few more to get me through my entire cycle without doing laundry, but I love them. Love love love them.

I love my gladrags! I'll never go back to disposables. The colors are cheerful, they wash in the machine well, there is no smells while using these pads, I regret not ordering these sooner. Love these pads, I've told my friends about them, even took a picture of them as soon as I got them in the mail to show my friends.
