These pads have changed my life. The first couple days of my moon cycle are pretty heavy. Using store bought pads always left a mess as the absorbency is very poor. It made me feel like I couldn't take care of myself properly, that there was something wrong with my body, & that I had to keep using tampons. Switching to GladRags changed everything. I don't even cramp as much because I can allow my body to flow instead of stopping it up with a tampon. Plus it feels good to not be contributing to more plastic waste!!! I will sing the praises of these pads forever! Love you folks at GladRags, thank you so much for existing.

I love the concept of reusable pads. I've significantly reduced my menstrual product waste, which is a relief! The pads work great. I even hand wash them during my nightly shower, let it air dry and repeat.

I am now almost 62-years-old. I have used GladRags since the company first started. I used them for menses and now for….well….incontinence. I absolutely LOVE
their products!

very comfy to use and easy to clean

I am in the process of transitioning to zero waste periods, so this review is coming from someone who is still looking for the best, most comfortable solution.

Some info: my preference is period undies, as they are most comfortable, but I need extra coverage for 1-2 days in addition to even the most absorbent undies, especially overnight. This is where the gladrags come in. Also, I am small both in clothing size and height :)

I bought a night pad after trying a regular day pad and being dissatisfied with the small area of coverage even for daytime. The night pad definitely has enough coverage for laying down and tossing and turning, and the long, base piece of the pad is actually thicker than the regular liners, so I was happy to see that. However, after using the night pad once and now looking at the night pad plus in comparison, I'm not sure why I bought the regular night pad instead. The insert pieces, which are the real absorbent pieces of any gladrag, are surprisingly small, only covering about the area of the built in liner of your panties. I suppose if you have a light period (but somehow need a lot of absorbency overnight?), this is not much of a concern, as the long piece of the pad does have some thickness to it, but for someone like me whose body thinks it is a competition to see how much blood I can lose without passing out, I should have bought the nightpad plus that has inserts in a similar size to the rest of the pad. For that reason, I would not purchase again, although I will probably buy a night pad plus.

Also, I found the night pad to be quite uncomfortable to wear (I paired with a thin* pair of period undies, FYI). It bunched up a bit when standing, as it is so much bigger than my undies, and took a bit of adjusting if I went the bathroom. Since my primary use is to wear while sleeping though, it is not the end of the world. I did not notice the pad at all once I was cozy in bed :)

I've been using cloth pads for almost 20 years now. The overnight pad was a gift from my midwife. I was excited to see a long supposedly overnight shape with flared ends and wings, for I have always had a heavy flow, and additionally like this shape for postpartum as well. HOWEVER- the material is only 2 layers of cloth plus the 2 tiny inserts which are the same exact sized insert as Glad Rags standard day pad inserts! there is no way to add absorbency beyond that small area of insert, thus the the blood just wicks up and seeps through the long flared ends. You can feel how thin the bulk of the pad is. The shape and length of it is great it's just not thick or absorbent enough to handle a heavy flow much less overnight use. I read all these other reviews and am shocked that others think this pad is sooo great, unless I'm really the only one who's tried this with a heavy flow. I am super disappointed and will be looking elsewhere for a thick overnight long pad w/wings that is not disposable.

Love the overnight long pad. You can,add extra absorbent with inserts so its customizable. Ideal for overnight no,matter how heavy your period, and no leaks. So,comfy, feels like wearing nothing. Comes in great patterns and colors. Definitely a MUST have

I've been using GladRags pads for a few years now and I keep adding to my collection. As someone who wants to create as less waste as possible and can't always wear a menstrual cup, these reusable pads have been my life savers. I love the night pads because when I'm sleeping is when I have the least control and these things have great coverage. My favorite part is the wings because that's always what I preferred even before switching. The always changing fun designs and colors are just the best bonus and they're so soft to sleep in! I tell everyone I can about them!

I used to dread sleeping with a napkin during the night worried about staining my bedsheets. This night is amazing! It’s comfortable and secure and not once have I had an issue. It’s also easy to add more layers for that extra peace of mind

These are really absorbent and a great fit for nighttime wear. Really glad to have invested in a few.

As I was laundering my nighttime pads this weekend, I realized I’ve had them for at least 20 years! They are still comfortable, effective, and barely look worse for wear. The stitching has held up perfectly and I’ve never had to repair them. Feeling great about all the disposables I’ve kept out of the landfill all this time. Thank you GladRags!

I bought this after trying out the day pads. Best investment I made! The disposable night pads can't hold a handle to these!

It was like sleeping on clouds. It's a much more positive experience than the itchy plastic disposable pads. Besides, it is remarkably absorbent.

I’m so happy I found this overnight pad. Very comfortable and have never had a leak. Came back and bought another.

Upon first seeing the night pad I was shocked at the size, but once I had it on for a night and felt how protected I was from all angles, all hesitations we’re gone. I’m in an adjustment phase after switching birth control to the non-hormonal, copper IUD. I switched to gladrags from years using the mentrual cup to give my uterus and cervix time to adjust. My flow is much heavier now, but with GladRags, I’m at ease AND super comfortable!

I Love using this on heavy days during the day and night! I just started using reusable pads after learning about it recently! It feels really comfortable and I feel safe wearing it around knowing it's doing what it's meant to do! Great quality cotton! Easy to clean, easy to use. I recommend this to anyone who is considering to switching to reusable pads, I love knowing that I'm doing something good for my body and for the environment!

I love the overnight length... but I prefer to use the 9" inserts from the Day Pad Plus with the overnight pad instead of either of the insert sizes that the overnight pad is sold with. The 9" inserts give me the right amount of width in the middle and a little more length for the coverage, which is something I'm looking for on the days I go for these. On lighter days, I use these 7.5" inserts with the Pantyliner Plus -- they stay put just fine without messing with the pocket on the Day Pad (and bonus: the Pantyliner Plus seems to have more absorbency than the Day Pad shells). I would love to see GladRags make this overnight size available for purchase with the 9" inserts!

I had gotten some earlier, but needed more, so I was looking and seen the bigger ones and got some. I love them!

Just. What can I say that isn't super tmi? I get really bad rashes from disposable pads because of adhesive and "swampyness" along with dreaded lady-part inflammation, but with these pads I have NONE of that. Do you hear angels singing? Cause I sure do. Another thing is the COVERAGE. I am a small small person. This pad covers me front to back with room to spare. I feel safe and secure with no need to break out the period pjs because I am solid for the night. I think my only sad thing is is that I'm bleeding on such cute designs and that makes me sad on the inside. Definitely need to make sure you get a mesh laundry bag so that you don't lose the inserts like I did. There's a Day Pad package that is awesome for an all in one purchase. So worth it.

These reusable pads are amazing. I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis last year and am in pain daily. When my period came every month, the pain tripled. The chemical laden pads I was using only worsened the problem and made me miserable throughout the four days. I experienced none of the rawness, irritation, or even odor while using these pads. I have a heavy first two days flow and the last two days are light flow. I ordered the night pads and found that they gave more coverage than the nonresuable pads I was using. No leaks! No pain! Comfortable! There were no regrets with buying these. I'm actually placing an order for more today to be able to make it through my whole cycle. I strongly recommend Gladrags. They turned my period issues around.

Although I switch back and forth from cloth pads, menstruation underwear and organic tampons, I have been wearing GladRags night pads for over 10 years now. This is my third set. They are comfortable, absorbent and the bright colors and patterns are fun. Can't menstruate without them!

More comfortable and more effective than disposable pads. I'd totally recommend these. The cute patterns are a nice plus too. No reason not to have some fun with it.

I can't remember when I've been more excited about a purchase. I always hated using tampons or disposable night pads. Either I would be counting down the hours to when I had to change the tampon or the disposable pad would feel like a diaper (not to mention getting rashes from using pads all night.). This pad is amazing! No leaks, easy to use and wash, and it doesn't feel like a diaper. I hope more people make the switch to cloth pads.

I love the night pad, I look forward to going to bed now (no joke). The most dreaded time of the month have been transformed. The cotton is so soft, and the product delivers. I used to wear a tampon and a pad to bed and would still wake up from bleeding through all of it.
When I switched to menstrual cups a few years ago, I did better but as soon as I got into a vertical position, the blood would burst out of the cup because it was filled to the brim. Using gladrags for heavy nights has changed my life, I can wake up and chill like I would if I wasn't on my period, until I feel like getting up. Caring for them is easy to, I rinse them immediately and then soak them in an enzyme based stain remover or laundry detergent until I'm ready to do a load in the washer. They wash beautifully, and get softer over time. Love these!

Wonderful for night time use.

Oh my goodness these are wonderful! The size is perfect and the fabric is comfy and cozy against my sensitive skin. I've seen other reviewers say that the absorbency is awesome and that your period may not be as heavy with reusable pads as it normally is and that is the case for me as well! I highly suggest the switch if you haven't already :D

I made a reluctant switch to cotton pads about 6 months ago and I'm so glad I did! I always used tampons during the day and disposable pads at night. About a year ago I switched to using a cup instead of tampons (which was fantastic). Eventually the disposable pads started irritating my skin, and I don't like wearing the cup at night. These pads are so comfy and easy to clean, and so much more Eco-friendly! My starter pack has paid itself off many times over! Plus the designs are so cute, I love wearing them!

These are just wonderful, and well worth the work of soaking and washing. I was doubtful at first about the inserts but they stay in place perfectly. In fact the whole pad stays in place way better than any adhesive pad. And it feels great to re-use instead of adding to the world's garbage! I only wish I'd started using these years ago. Thanks!

Best feminine care product on the market. Complete front to back coverage. I have no worries at night that I am going to leak. Soft, comfortable and I no longer get itchy,uncomfortable rashes.
