    Our Thong Pantyliner is perfect for light flows, spotting, daily discharge, or as backup protection for cups or tampons if you need a reusable for your thong. 

    The Thong Pantyliner is small (so it’s discreet and not bulky), and is absorbent as a disposable liner. It even has two sets of snaps to ensure it stays in place!

    If you don’t wear thongs, try the Pantyliner or Pantyliner Plus!

      Why People Are Switching To Reusable Pads

      • Disposable Pads

        • Plastic and hormone disrupting chemicals against the skin
        • Irritating adhesives
        • Moisture trapped against sensitive parts
        • 10,000+ pads added to the landfill per person over a lifetime
      • GladRags Reusable Pads

        • Made of natural, breathable cotton fabrics
        • Guaranteed to last 5+ years
        • Gentle on the skin
        • Dramatically less waste, and compostable at home at the end of their journey
        • Trusted for over 30 years

      How GladRags Work

      1. Snap pantyliner around underwear.
      2. Change as often as you would a disposable pad (try our carry bags for easy on the go-storage)
      3. Wash and reuse!

      Hot tip: All three styles of Pantyliners are as absorbent as a disposable liner. The main difference between the pantyliner and pantyliner plus is length!

      Benefits of GladRags

      • Comfort

        Breathable cotton keeps skin dry without chemicals

      • Intuitive Use

        Works just like a disposable liner with wings.

      • Reusable for Years

        One pad replaces ~240 disposable pads and lasts 5+ years

      • Responsible Manufacturing

        Sewn in Portland, OR with 100% cotton fabrics for over 30 years

      Don't Just Take Our Word For It:

      Customers praised this reusable pantyliner as "the most comfy" and "very soft," with many noting it stays securely in place. Shoppers appreciate its eco-friendly design and comfort. However, some mentioned absorbency could be improved and flaps may be too loose. Popular for light flow and zero-waste routines.

      After using the regular pantyliners for years, I decided to add a couple of thong ones to my order- I'm so glad I did! It was super comfy and I will probably order more!

      The most comfy!! I forget I have on.
      Not quite absorbent enough for me. Currently pinning a extra pad insert on top for that little extra absorbency I need.

      So comfy and soft. Wish were just little bit more absorbent.

      Super soft, but not a great fit

      I love the soft flannel, but I find that the pantyliner tends to shift around and bunch up, so I have to sort it out again every time I go to the bathroom. That is the only thing keeping me from buying more. I have, however, suggested that my daughter look at the regular pantyliners, and I am thinking about getting some for my mom.

      Nice, but too loose

      I'm really happy I bought the 'color thong pantyliners'. I don't have a strong flow, so I use them for my period. I bought them because I would like to reduce my plastic footprint. They are very soft and the size of the pad (length and width) are perfect. The only negative is that the flaps are way too lose for me. They hang down in a U-shape below my crotch. Still, despite that, they stay in place, so I'll keep using them.

      Thong liner

      It's very soft and comfortable. What I don't like is the length and that it isn't that there's all this extra fabric left swaying on the underside of my underwear. Less fabric overall would be nice.

      100% recommend

      I’ve wanted to switch to reusable pantyliners for awhile, but I’ve always found them to be too bulky and to slip around quite a bit, making it a no-go. I was skeptical about the thong lines because I don’t actually wear thong underwear, but I found them to be super comfy and totally secure on all my different underwear cuts, so I can finally say my period routine is zero waste and zero sacrifice!

      Awesome

      Love these. Not bulky. Comfortable and perfectly sized.

      Love it, minus the inorganic cotton.

      I mistakely thought this was organic cotton, but it is not. I do love the print but would not repurchase unless it was organic cotton. It seemed to get softer after washing, but I've only used for 2 cycles so far. It fits my panties slightly better than the Lunapads ones.

      Will never go back to disposables

      Very pleased with my purchase. Not bulky at all. I won't go back to disposable panty liners ever!

      Ecstatic

      I'm thrilled to have discovered that GladRags now makes thong pantyliners, too! Depending on my mood and daytime activities, I switch between pads and menstrual cup/pantyliner when on my period, but, up until now, I still had to live with the same period undies--and their resultant pantylines. I love my new thong pantyliners. I've been a cloth pad convert for nearly two years now, and I can't imagine going back. These are wonderfully absorbent, don't cause me to itch or chafe, are fabulously comfortable, are a good fit for my underwear, and don't add to land fills! Changing pads and pantyliners becomes less of a chore when you can look forward to soft flannel against your delicate parts.

      Amazingly absorbent

      I was thrilled at how well this stayed in place and protected my panties! Even with diligently emptying my cup, I always end up with a good amount of spotting in my underwear. This absorbed well enough to keep my undies clean and keep it off of my skin. When I rinsed it out I realized how much it had taken. I was really pleasantly surprised! Definitely buying more.

      Love this pantiliner!

      It was soft and very comfortable, and didn't shift around. It was also very easy to clean!

      Loooove this product!!

      I was one of the lucky few to be the first to test out this innovative new product and I found it very comfortable and able to absorb more than I expected! My favorite feature was how will it stayed in place as compared to any other pad I have EVER used. If you are considering using this project because you wear thongs normally, I say go for it, you'll won't regret it!!

      Great!

      The thong liner is incredibly comfy, and great for the days where all my period underwear is in the wash and all I have is thongs left! I would suggest it to anyone who either has a light cycle the whole time through or is like me and tends to wear thongs (even with spotting happening).

      Top 5 Questions From People Thinking About Switching:

      Do they REALLY save money?

      There's a lot of talk out there about saving money over time, but the math doesn't always add up. Ours does.

      Exact amounts vary based on what type of disposable pads you use, and how many you use per period, but a low average assumes 25 pads per cycle (5 pads/day for 5 days) or 300 pads per year, totaling approximately $450 over 5 years. If you buy 'natural' or Organic pads, the 5 year cost is more like $1,070–$1,430. And disposable pad costs have risen 40%+ since 2020, so who knows what they'll be in 5 years!

      Our Conventional Deluxe Kit costs $288 and the Organic version is $345, and they're guaranteed to last 5 years. So over 5 years, you're going to save $100-162. At the bare minimum.

      And if you currently buy Organic pads, and your new GladRags last longer than 5 years (many customers use them for 10!), You could be saving $2500+ over the next 10 years!

      Will they leak?

      They do not have a plastic liner in them, they will eventually leak through (like a tampon!). How fast you bleed through them depends on how heavy your flow is, and also how thin your menstrual blood is.

      Change pads as you would a disposable, and you'll be worry free!

      Are cloth pads bulky?

      Most customers say that they feel softer and more comfortable than disposables.

      How do I wash them?

      Lots of people worry they'll be hard to wash. But it's easy! You can just machine wash and dry with your normal laundry.

      There's more extensive laundering information below and you can make it as much of a process as you want, but it can really be as simple as that.

      Can we talk about ... odor?

      The elephant in the room: Are they going to smell?

      Cotton breathes better than plastic pads and does not contain any chemical gels. So our pads do not have that gross 'disposable pad' smell that everyone hates. Most people worry that reusable pads will be like that x10, but they're not.

      If you empty out your carry bag of used pads daily, smells are generally a non issue. You can also rinse your GladRags out with cool water before putting them in the laundry if you do notice anything.

      New to Reusable Pads?

      Start with a kit. Most customers appreciate:

      • Starting with enough pads for a cycle
      • Getting the best value
      • Easier transition with different styles to choose at different parts of their cycle

      FAQ

      HOW MANY PADS DO I NEED?

      Most people start with 8-12 pads and have to wash 1-2 times during their cycle. If you're new to cloth pads, we recommend a Cloth Pad Starter Kit (or Starter Kit Plus), using that for a few cycles and figuring out what else you need to complete your collection.

      HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?

      We guarantee our pads to last at least 5 years with proper care. Hundreds of customers have told us that their pads lasted at least 10 years before they replaced them (or menopause started)! Personally, I've been using the same pads for over 12.

      Our cost savings estimates are all based on 5 years of use, but if you actually use them for 10 years, imagine how much more you'll save!

      CAN THEY BE USED FOR LIGHT INCONTINENCE?

      They sure can. While GladRags were originally designed for menstruation, it didn't take long to start hearing from customers that they were being used for light leaks. That's not something we talk about enough as a culture, but light incontinence impacts 1/3 of women! They're a wonderful alternative to disposables.

      Most people find that the pantyliner plus is the perfect light incontinence solution. For a little more peace of mind (or the ability to swap out the insert for a new one), the Day Pad is the other go-to option.

      CLEANING & CARE

      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.

      Easy care: Machine washable with standard detergent. Designed to retain absorbency and shape wash after wash.

      Detailed Cloth Pad Cleaning & Care:

      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.
