Our Night Pad gives you reliable, no-nonsense protection—and worry-free sleep—that lasts till morning. 

Each Night Pad is customizable with one holder and two inserts, with full absorbency equivalent to a standard overnight maxi pad. At 14" long with a unique flared design, the tapered ends help prevent leaks whether you’re a front, back or side sleeper, making them perfect for heavy overnight periods or postpartum recovery.

Try the Organic Night Pad Plus if you’d like extra-long inserts that extend the length and width of the holder.

Product Details
  • Night Pad Measures: 14" long, 3" wide in the middle, and 5" at the widest (when wings are snapped). The Night Pad comes with two inserts that are ~7.5" long.
  • Night Pad Plus Measures: 14" long, 3" wide in the middle, and 5" at the widest (when wings are snapped). The Night Pad Plus comes with two hourglass shaped inserts that are ~12" long.
  • Absorbency: Both Night Pads are as absorbent as an overnight maxi pad - the difference is about the extra coverage and protection that the Plus Inserts provide.
  • No special care required: all of our pads are washable and dryer safe.
  • Toxin Free: PFAS-free, plastic-free, and chemical-free fabrics to ensure happy and healthy skin

    Why Choose Organic?

    • Hypoallergenic: Organic cotton is naturally hypoallergenic - perfect for folks with sensitive skin, allergies, and chemical sensitivities. 
    • Gold Standard of Sustainability: Our GOTS certified flannel and terry guarantees strict, globally recognized environmental and social criteria. 
    • Longer Lasting: Organic cotton fibers are stronger and more durable due to the absence of harsh chemicals used in their cultivation and processing.

    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. Put 1-2 inserts into Night Holder depending on the absorbency you want.
    2. Snap Night Pad around underwear.
    3. Change as often as you would an overnight maxi pad.
    4. Wash and reuse!

    Hot tip: Both styles of Night Pads are as absorbent as an overnight maxi pad. The main difference between the Night Pad and the Night Pad Plus is the extra coverage and protection that the longer Plus Inserts provide.

    Benefits of GladRags

    • Comfort

      Breathable cotton keeps skin dry without chemicals or sweaty plastic liners. Plus, there's no adhesive to get stuck to your sensitive bits.

    • Adjustable Absorbency

      Works just like a disposable pad with wings, but has the added benefit of inserts that you can layer in depending on how heavy your flow is.

    • 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 pad for excellent coverage and comfort, with many saying it "kept jammies and sheets completely clean." The organic cotton is soft and chemical-free. However, one customer noted absorbency speed issues causing leaks with medium flow. Some mention staining and higher price, though most find it eco-friendly and durable.

    So, I really wanted to like these. I’ve used reusable period pads for many years and this was my first time using organic cotton Glad Rags. Well… the absorbency speed is kind of terrible. I haven’t had a bad period leak for many years while sleeping and that happened to me in the early hours this morning (I’m a side sleeper) with this night pad. Feeling all the blood flowing down onto my sheets woke me up. I will say that I don’t even have heavy periods. I think I’d be qualified as more of a light to medium flow person. I think I’ll only feel comfortable using these pads near the end of my period on my lightest days.

    PROS:
    - Comfortable
    - No smell due to breathable material
    - Good on skin

    CONS:
    - Absorbency speed stinks
    - Soft material bunches and side leaks are more likely while walking around in the day
    - The undyed cotton looks stained even after being cleaned.

    Fantastic Nighttime Pads!!

    These are the BEST pads for my heavy flow nights! They're long enough to catch the back leaks I tend to have, and easily absorb all my over night flow. They're soft and durable--I used my old GladRags for ten years and they're still in surprisingly good condition! Just a bit threadbare and not as soft as new ones, so I decided to restock. They do get a bit stained after that long, but that doesn't bother me because they're doing exactly what they're meant for. All in all LOVE these pads, and love the new color options with the organic pads! (Purple toned plaid? Sold!)

    Faithful Friend Helping Me Through Menopause Periods

    Highest quality and durability. These dependable workhorses are getting me through my unpredictable menopausal periods. Plus they make me feel so proud of helping the earth--a lift that always encourages me through the heavy flow, inconvenient timing, etc., etc. I adore Gladrags' cute prints, but the creamy white fabric of the Organics is serenely and supremely calming. Truly a world class product & my top Gladrags pick.

    Love these night pads!

    I wear these night or day! They are super absorbent and great for overnight or when I need to lay down for a while (acupuncture, massage appt etc) where a regular pad would leak. Love the coverage!

    I can finally sleep easy!

    Gone are the days when I wake up in a cold sweat, worried that I have ruined my underwear, my pajamas, and my bedsheets. This pad is the ultimate in nightime period security. It's also great for when I'm having a heavy flow during the day and am worried about getting to take enough breaks to change my pad frequently. I truly wish I had found these earlier -- I'm just glad I found them when I did!

    Save Money & Mother Earth

    I have been exclusively using a menstrual cup for years. After having a child, I found I needed a little extra protection as my periods were heavier. I bought all the GladRags pad sizes to have the option to forego the menstrual cup if I wanted for a period cycle. They are all wonderful! I don't wear the liners with silky underwear as they slide a little. They don't slide on cotton underwear. The organic cotton pads are SO COMFORTABLE! I will be using these for my second child postpartum instead of the disposable pads from the hospital. Thank you GladRags for making such a wonderful product that I will use for years and prevent unnecessary waste to be sent to the landfill.

    Perfect for Postpartum

    These were so comfortable and perfect during postpartum recovery. And I could just throw them in with the cloth diapers to wash! I would highly recommended them!

    So Comfy & Easy to clean

    I bought my first Glad Rag at my local hometown health store, Natures Cupboard. I only got one & that's all they had( at the time). It's a good thing it was the overnight organic. I truly need overnight size, sometimes even for daytime. I'm really impressed with this rag, as there's been no leakage anytime I've worn it. It's So Comfy . I love the organic cotton. So soft. I know I'm doing something good for my body And the environment. I'm also impressed with how I can handwash ( or pre-rinse before machine wash) and it's still looking good; like no staining or discoloration after multiple uses. I'm a 40 something busy mom of 3, with fairly heavy flow. Hope this review helps someone considering to purchase. I'm so Glad I did, because it's totally worth it ❣

    Awesome night pads

    I love these organic night pads. The only issue I have with them is that they have stained a bit. Doesn't bother me and nobody else sees them, so no biggie.

    I will never go back again - I simply love this eco friendly product!

    I simply love this Product -After using disposable pads that contained chemicals that gave me more allergy reactions and rashes, I had to find something different to use than these disposable pads as a buyer at the store. GladRag was the rescue and I have been very pleased with this product, which makes one save both money and the environment at one and the same time.

    I love gladrags!

    This Gladrags pad is great. I decided to stop using tampons since they are full of chemicals, so I needed larger pads for nighttime. These are rather bulky like a diaper or Super pad, but they certainly do prevent both front & back leaks! Although they are large, they don't leave me chafed or uncomfortable. Mine are lightly stained already, but they wash easily and do not smell. If they seem to slide around, secure it to your underwear gusset with a small safety pin. The best thing about Gladrags is their dedication to sustainability and ethical business practices through the entire transaction. It was delivered in recyclable plant-based plastic and the pads are made in USA!

    Great pst baby

    These are great!!!!! used these right after having baby and love them not irritation like I get with regular pads and not bunchy like some other cotton pads I have tried using. These are A++++ compared to others. Love them. Easy to wash and dry. Love the starter pack also. Great for heavy bleeding. have not leaked once yet and I have been using two weeks post baby so far.

    SO EXCITING

    I love the snap on the organic night pad. I bought others and they were slips ins so not as much fun as this. I was overwhelmed by the prospect of re-using my pads because of the maintenance! BUT after getting used to it I was happy to have started with the long organic night pad. Very plush!

    Never going back

    This was the first reusable pad that I bought and I am never going back to disposables. It has a large area of coverage which keeps me super protected throughout the night since I'm a crazy sleeper who is constantly tossing, turning, and flailing their limbs about all night. They're simple, work really well, sustainable, and economical. Here's to nights of wild sleeping and waking up to stain free periwinkle sheets!

    Very Comfortable and Work Great!

    I agree with others that for once I am actually looking forward to my period, too. These are very comfortable and more secure, providing more protection than disposable pads. And the way that you can customize them with how many liners you need is excellent, too.

    Comfy for me ^_^

    Covers all the way to the front, all the way to the back- kind of in the way of the pamper-. Curves through the legs, very padded, and ComForTABle!!! Is very absorbent and hefty - in a way of the cloths stitch and original density.

    If you are chemically sensitive like me, you need these.

    I was using the organic disposable overnight pads for day and night, although they were unscented they still seemed to have a slight scented odor that bothered me. Now these glad rags have no scent, it only took a couple of months to get used to the different feel of them, and washing. Now I love them!

    Plus size / heavy flow

    I am a 320 lb plus size lady who has always experienced a heavy flow, 5-6 days per cycle. I love the night gladrags for day time use, as well night. They're very soft against the skin!! I ordered the organic one first, as I am sensitive to most store, throw away products. Loved it so much I just ordered 9 more gladrags. Never going back to those bleached, garbage fillers again. Thanks so much for the great product, only wish I had discovered them earlier.

    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 41%+ 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!

    Are they hard to wash?

    You can 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.

    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.

    Use one insert for light flow and two for more protection, and you'll be worry free! Since we developed the Night Pad Plus with longer inserts and more absorbency up the back and front, this has become our most popular night pad. We recommend that anyone worried about night leaks start with the Night Pad Plus.

    Are cloth pads bulkier than disposables?

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

    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 strong 'disposable pad' smell that everyone hates. Most people worry that reusable pads will be like that x10, but they're not.

    If you don't keep your used pads in an airtight container or bag for days on end, 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.

    Not Sure About Using Reusable Pads for Heavy Flows?

    Check out our Heavy Flow Sampler. Many customers appreciate:

    • You don't need plastic liners to manage heavy bleeding
    • It's nice to test the heavy flow options and find what works best so you know what to invest in.
    • Easiest to transition to cloth pads when you have a few different styles to choose from.

    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.
