This kit is tailored for those with a lighter flow, and includes washable cloth pads and pantyliners in your choice of colors -- who says your period has to be boring?!

Caring for your cloth pads is simple. Follow our easy step-by-step instructions to ensure your GladRags will stay in great condition for years to come.
After use, separate the inserts from the holder. Pantyliners do not have inserts.
Soak in cold water, if desired, to help prevent staining. Use the presoak function on your washing machine, or soak in a covered rust-proof container. Change soaking water daily.
Machine wash cold using a natural detergent and tumble dry low or line dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. You may hand wash pads if desired.
Remove pads from dryer promptly and store flat to eliminate wrinkling; use cool iron if desired. Store your pads in a clean, dry place until next use.
Avoid using detergents with fabric softeners or whiteners/brighteners as these can inhibit the absorbency of your cloth pads. Try these plastic-free, non-toxic laundry detergent sheets from our friends at Zero Waste Cartel! Be aware that soaking your cloth pads in water with additives such as hydrogen peroxide can degrade the fabric and lead to holes. For this reason, we recommend utilizing stain removers as spot treatments and do not advise soaking cloth pads in water treated with peroxide-based stain removers.
We do not recommend the use of castile soap, facial soap, or other soaps not intended for textile laundering. Excess detergent may lead to build up, which can limit the absorbency of your cloth pads. While we have many customers that use homemade detergents with great success, cloth pads laundered with homemade detergent are not covered under our warranty. Full warranty information is available here.
A note about staining: Soaking your GladRags in cold water or pre-treating with an enzymatic cleanser immediately after using are two simple ways to prevent staining. However, light staining does not indicate that your laundered cloth pads are not clean or sanitary!
To clean your GladRags Carry Bag, simply wipe the bag with a damp cloth or machine wash cold, then air dry or tumble dry low.
Please note: all of our pads are proudly sewn by hand. As such, some variation will naturally occur. The sizes above are approximate. Please be aware that GladRags are not pre-shrunk and some shrinkage may occur after washing.
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.
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!
