GladRags Reusable Menstrual Pads are a body-friendly and eco-friendly alternative to disposable sanitary wear. They are made from a highly absorbent terry towelling and cotton mix with no plastic or nylon backings. This makes them soft, comfortable and breathable to prevent discomfort and odours.
Each pad is made up of a holder (with wings and snap fastenings) and 2 inserts. Use just one insert for lighter days and 2 on heavier days. You can wear the pad from anywhere between 2 and 6 hours depending on how heavy your flow is.
For postnatal bleeding, overnight use or really heavy flows, use the Night Pad. It is slightly longer and has a thicker layer of absorbent material to give you extra protection.
When you come to clean your GladRags pads, simply soak them in cool water for a few hours before putting them in the washing machine with other dark items for a cool to warm wash.
