The washing instructions worked great for preventing stains! These are comfortable, cover what I need throughout the day, and give me lots of options.

I purchased these because I have allergies to regular pads which I use at night for incontinence, I needed a cotton pad. These are working great, They don’t make me break out, like i used to with other pads. Thank You.

I purchased the cotton flannel multipack, and I'm very happy with how absorbent these pads are! The cotton was so soft and breathable, and nothing leaked through the layers onto my favorite underwears! I was so comfortable this week!!

I ordered GladRags back in the beginning of 2020. Ironically, I didn't know I was 3 weeks pregnant when I ordered them, and it was about a year before I was actually able to use the pads I had ordered. Here's what I've found I like and don't like about them in 3 years of use.

Pros:
They work! They absorb a surprising amount of blood, so I have been able to change my cloth pads during the day at what I feel is a reasonable rate for period care.
They don't get smelly while you're wearing them like disposable pads do, even with sweat and heat.
They are soft and don't chafe my inner thighs or catch on pubic hair.
Well-made; been using them for three years for every period and none of them have broken or come apart at the seams. I look forward to seeing how long they keep it up.
Versatile absorbency; I can layer two or three pads and/or inserts on the first days of my period and nothing soaks into my underwear if I keep an eye on it, but on lighter days I use just one pad at a time safely.
Fairly easy to care for once you've gotten used to adding them into your laundry routine. Nothing complicated about laundering them.

Cons:
Sometimes a pad will slide out of position and get wedged at the back or front of my underwear; I have to surreptitiously wiggle it back into place or just go into a bathroom to reposition it if I'm out in public. Doesn't happen every time I wear one, but it's frequent and could use some design innovation to stay in place. Possible the newer pads with a different shape don't do this as much, but keep in mind I'm reviewing the pads made in 2020.
Using reusable cloth pads while traveling can get a bit messy and takes a lot more work and preparation than using disposables. It's not impossible by any means, but it's certainly more difficult when you have to think about how much space they take up while traveling, whether you'll take the time and materials to hand wash and air dry them on the go, or if not, how you will store dirty smelly pads until they can be washed.

All in all, they've been wonderful reusable pads, and I've recommended them to friends and family when commiserating over the woes of our monthly scourge. The pads make some aspects of my period a little better. And that's worth it to me.

So far I’ve had a great experience with the pads I’ve purchased from GladRags. They seem so much better quality than I expected. I’ve used them through two cycles, I think they will last me a really long time with as durable as they seem. I’ve soaked/ rinsed them and rubbed them with the stain remover sold on the website (seriously that stuff works wonders) and then washed them in the machine, with an extra rinse cycle, and air dried them. I’m shocked at how much they seem to hold and how well they’ve washed up. I was shocked that the stain removed cleaned them up so well, my husband said they still look brand new. Very happy with my purchase.

Love them. Great quality. Easy to use and wash

I have been wanting to switch to cloth liners as a back up to use with my cup, and I am so glad I finally switched! These pads and liners are so much more comfortable than even the thinnest disposables. Florida heat and humidity would contribute to heat rashes and embarrassing sweaty odors with disposables, but I have not had that issue with these. Now the hard part, not buying them in ALL the colors lol

I'm so glad I purchased the value kit! I am working on reducing my trash production, and I would feel bad every time I used a disposable pad. I decided to get the organic pad kit. The pads are super comfortable and stay in place, even when I go running. The bag that comes with the kit is cute and well-made. The quality of the products is worth every penny. Very happy with my purchase!

I have had this set of pads for over a year and I love them. I bought them as part of a broader effort to reduce my trash creation. They have many more benefits, though, including being much more comfortable than the disposable kinds and they have really felt like an investment as well as I have been able to stop my repeat purchases of disposable pads.
My one important, albeit seemingly obvious piece of criticism is that the light-colored ones get more visibly stained over time. There simply should not be light colored ones at all. My favorites are the black and maroon ones because they look as cute now as when I bought them. I also noticed that if I scrub them too hard, they eventually become less soft. If they were darker colored, I could be more gentle with them while not having to worry about them accumulating visible stains.

I bought the Light Flow set in Dark Colors after getting the pantyliner promotion to test out cloth pads. The cloth pads are so much more comfortable than disposables, even in the warm summer weather. They are easy to clean and the dark colors don't show stains. I am still getting used to rinsing my pads out in the public restroom at work, but it's so worth it. I like the variety of shapes and sizes so that I can use what I need on any given day. Highly recommended!

This is my first time purchasing and using cloth pads. I wanted to wait until my period before I wrote this review, and now that I have experienced what a period can be like with cloth pads, I am HOOKED.
I will not go back to the plastic diaper-like wasteful pads of the past because these adorable flowered marvels are the future. The best way I can describe the difference between these and disposable pads is to compare sleeping on the ground versus sleeping on a tempurpedic mattress... No more uncomfortable pad-rash and chaffing from the plastic rubbing against the sensitive inner thigh. These pads were easy to clean and the little bag to hold them looked like a purse and was not embarrassing to carry to the bathroom. The best part? Nothing leaked. These are perfection. Even when there was an issue in delivering my package, Gladrags fixed the problem and sent me a personal message apologizing for the inconvenience. I will be buying again in the future.

This is exactly what I needed to get me through my period. I already cloth diaper my babies to changing to cloth pads myself was easy and I wish I would have done it sooner as they are much more comfortable, less smelly, and better for the environment than disposable products.

Before making the switch to reusable products, I did a bit of online research. Gald Rags kept coming up as being one of the best companies. I am so glad I tried them. I am very happy with my products. They are very comfortable and I like the various different sizes provided.

I've wanted to switch to reusables for a while, ever since I've switched to a cup I've often found wearing backup pads to be a waste since my period is light, it just made economic and ecological sense to invest in these. After receiving my package and trying them out, I was very impressed and surprised by how soft the pads are. I've only washed them a few times, but they seem to be very well made. I ordered the floral ones and got the pre-soak set for discreet soaking. (The biokleen smells amazing btw) The florals are so pretty I almost didn't want to use them, but they are manageable to get clean again as long as you soak them promptly. (If you really don't want to worry about stains though, go with black) The most impressive thing about these pads though is how breathable they are compared to disposables. I was skeptical, but since they don't have a plastic liner trapping all the sweat & moisture, it makes it much easier for it to bre
athe, making them unfathomably comfortable.
