When my cousin first told me about these, I was pretty skeptical. It seemed so ... unhygienic. But then I realized that when I had a leak during my period, I didn't throw my underwear away. I soaked it, washed it, and wore it again. This is no different. To make Glad Rags work for you, you will need a system to deal with the used pads. For me, that meant having a place that wasn't my bathroom sink to soak the pads in until it was time to do laundry. I purchased an enamel soaking pot, some BioKleen Bac-Out Stain Remover, and two mesh laundry bags, and I was ready to go. So what do I think of them? 1) Oh so comfortable. 2) Where’d that nasty smell go? Instead of a heap of stinky trash, all I have is some terry cloth soaking in lime-scented water. 3) Easy to use away from home. 4) Leaks are an issue. But disposables leaked on me all the time too. 5) As long as I rinse before soaking,they really won't stain.

I am over 55 years old and have a slight incontinence problem. The large day pads are great for everyday wear. They work great and do not cause the irritation problems I was having with disposable pads. I wish I had know about these when I was younger.

The regular length gladrags are too short for the heavier days of my cycle. I have enjoyed the organic long day pads, but they are a little pricey for my budget so I only had a few. When regular cotton came out I had to try it. Its pretty nice, but the organic cotton pads seem sturdier and more aborbant, which I already knew. It should work great (although I haven't tried it as I just found out I'm pregnant). My regular length conventional cotton pads have held up really nicely over the years and I am sure this one will as well.

I've been wearing GladRags for a couple of years now and I LOVE THEM! I wish i had made the switch from the wasteful, processed, itchy plastic rub years ago. Gladrags feel like a cozy blanket and i love that they will last me years (I definitely more recommend the Organic cotton as it feels more durable (+ organic is always good to support), though the patterns on the non-organic are pretty cute and less obviously stained). And contrast to what some may think, I kind of enjoy cleaning them by hand. It feels like i'm more in touch w my period instead of grossed out by it. Then again i am a hippiepunk ha. THIS purchase was actually for my girlfriend who is now also a convert and is already browsing the site to get more! Try these out and you'll never have to buy one-use pads again...now THOSE are gross. It's a savings for you and the environment. Spread the word!

I own several regular size, large, and overnight pads, and while they each serve a good purpose, these are my favorite! I tend to have a moderate/heavy flow. I use the regular for light days, and these are just right for all other days. The length is exactly what I need. And as always, comfy and cute!

I wish I would have started out with these. They are the perfect size for me. I'll be stocking up on more of this size in the future.

22 and I have urinary incontinence after childbirth. I got embarrassed buying incontinence products at the store. I usually just need up buying disposable menstrual pads. I bought one just to try it out. I like it, just bought more.

I have used glad rags in the past and I bought new ones and find that these are updated in that they are a bit longer, which is great. I find cloth pads to be so much more comfortable, breathable, and I just feel cleaner. I bought a couple of sets in dark green, so the period stains barely show and are less offensive when my husband is doing the laundry :)/ Sometimes for a light flow I even just put the inserts in my panties, rather than snapping it in and they generally stay in place.
