Reusable Night Pad / Postpartum Pad

Description

Reusable Night Pad / Postpartum Pad

• A body-friendly, wallet-friendly, earth-friendly alternative to disposable pads
• Comfortable all-cotton material you’ll feel good wearing
• Long-lasting: GladRags are made to last at least five years but many users report them lasting strong after 20+ years
• Handmade in Portland Oregon, USA

Size and Absorbancy

GladRags Night Pads are longer and wider to provide more coverage while you sleep. In addition to extra coverage, the night holder contains a layer of ultra-absorbent terry cloth. The Night Pad can also be used as a postpartum pad or for heavy flow during the day.

Includes a liner + two inserts. Customize your absorbency by adding inserts to the pocket on the holder.

This style is great if any of the following apply to you:

Each night pad measures approximately 14″ in length. The inserts are ~7.5″ long.

When snapped closed, it measures 3″ width in the middle, and 5″ width at widest.

Looking for a different absorbency or size? We’ve got you covered.

How to Use a Reusable Night Pad

Place the inserts inside the holder.

Snap the pad around your underwear. The smooth side of the pad goes against your skin, and the wings wrap around the crotch of the underwear to snap together.

Change the complete pad (holder and inserts) every 2 to 6 hours or as needed.

Why Choose Reusable Night Pads?

For your body

Disposable period products can contain plastics, artificial fragrances, adhesives, and chemical gels–things you don’t want next to one of the most sensitive parts of your body! Choosing GladRags all-cotton pads means comfortable periods free from irritating materials and avoiding unnecessary exposure to the synthetic ingredients in disposable pads and tampons.

For your wallet

It can seem like GladRags cost more than disposables, but they actually are much more economical in the long run. On average, we’ll each use 12,000 to 16,000 disposable pads, tampons, and pantyliners in our menstruating lifetimes (and beyond, if we use pads and pantyliners for post-menopausal incontinence). If you’re buying boxes of 20 pads at $5 per box, you’ll spend upwards of $3,000… on trash. Sheesh!

For the planet

12,000 to 16,000 disposable pads, pantyliners, and tampons per menstruating person adds up to a whole lot of waste! Not to mention the manufacturing, shipping, and packaging impact over the years. GladRags last for years, helping you keep your environmental footprint small.

Easy Care and Cleaning

After use, separate the inserts from the holder. If desired, rinse or soak in cold water. (Optional). Machine wash cold using a natural detergent and tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Alternatively, you may hand wash pads if desired.

Remove pads from the dryer promptly and store flat to eliminate wrinkling; use cool iron if desired. Store your pads in a clean, dry place until next use.

Plastic-Free Reusable Night Pad

Gladrags are highly absorbent, making a waterproof backing unnecessary. Plastic barriers can trap moisture and lead to irritation, chaffing, and odor. All cotton is better for your body and the planet.

Packaging
