Cloth pads aren't just for light flow! Designed for those of us with a heavier flow, this kit includes a selection of our favorite pads and accessories. A great choice for postpartum, too!
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 like them and will continue to use them, but there are some downsides
I am now on my third cycle using these pads, and I think I will continue to use them.
What I like:
- Comfortable. I'm used to wearing thick maxi pads for my heavy flow, so this was an easy transition for me. They are a little bit bulky, but this doesn't bother me.
- Don't have to constantly throw away plastic-containing disposable pads!
- No plastic lining. The main reason I bought these!
- Organic and undyed is great! They don't stain terribly, but they are getting a little pink over time.
- Quite absorbent. I only have to change these a bit more frequently than disposable pads. Of course, they will leak faster than disposables as they don't have that waterproof plastic lining, but I figured out the timing pretty quickly.
What I don't like:
- Pretty significant shrinkage after washing. I've washed the pads a few times, now. I soak them in cold water that is changed daily after use until I wash them, wash in cold water on a delicate cycle, shake them around/stretch them, and then hang them up to dry. No heat, no tumble drying. My day pad plus inserts have shrunk to almost exactly the same size as the regular day pad inserts when they were new. This makes the regular day pads quite small and prone to sliding, so they're really only useful on light-flow days when you aren't being too active.
- After only a few cycles of use/a handful of washes, they seem to be pilling. There are also many loose threads forming around the edges. I'm concerned about how they'll hold up over time... I was hoping to use these for a long time, but they might not make it too long.
- Often, blood seems to do this funny thing where it bypasses the inserts and soaks through the side of the pad where the wings connect, which ends up soiling underwear. This happens quickly, and underwear will end up stained while the inserts haven't even gotten bloody! I have managed to mostly fix this problem by using a day pad plus with a day pad plus insert combined with the smaller day pad insert *sideways* in the pad, forming a cross shape. This makes it a bit bulkier but works for the most part!
- The night pads just aren't long enough. I still leak behind the back of the pad onto my underwear (and then my pants... and then my sheets...). I've found that wearing compression shorts to bed helps this, but it's not the most comfortable. I'm thinking of sewing on a few extra inches of cotton fabric to extend the pad and catch that stray blood.
Overall, I'm satisfied! It's a learning curve, for sure. For my next purchase of cloth pads, I may try out a different company, but that depends on how well these hold up over time.
This was my first purchase of cloth reusable pads. I've only used them for one cycle since receiving them and I'm hooked already! My favorite thing is how very soft and comfortable they are. My flow is medium and I didn't have any trouble with leaking. They seem to be more absorbent than disposable pads. They were very easy to clean as well. I had seen some other reviewers mention shrinking etc. I just washed them in cold water and line dried them. I didn't experience any shrinkage and there was no evident staining. I will definitely be buying more and I'm planning to order some for my daughter as well. Great product! Would love to see some more floral vintage patterns. I ordered the wildflower pattern but didn't care for all the other bright pattern options available.
I had never tried cloth pads before but decided to go big and get this kit when my period returned post-partum. These products are so much more comfortable than disposable, easy to care for, and in the case of the night pads, provide much better coverage. I’ve added a few more day pads and would like a few more liners so I have enough in between washings, but this is a great start for anyone with a heavy flow. I’m very happy with my purchase and would recommend to anyone!
Wowowow. First time trying any pads from GladRags. I've been relying on an old model of menstrual cup for a while, which has been fine and effective, but the insertion and wearing of that thing got tiring. Pads have always been convenient and comfortable for me, so reusables sounded good in theory.
I do package delivery. Ten hour shifts for four days a week. It's amazing how absorbent these things are. They're pretty comfortable to wear during drives and even while running about. I actually started out using three inserts just in case, but the third one might not even be necessary. It was still comfortable to wear.
Nice things about them is how secure they are. Disposables you have to stick on and they move around sometimes. These snap-on pads stay where you put them and won't fold in all weird on themselves. You just have to be willing to do a bit of work for the cleaning. But for now, I think it's all worth it.
