Product Reviews of Reusable Menstrual Pad - Nighttime/Sage, 1 pack
Product Review: Fantastic Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful product! Great for the environment and perfect for the wallet. Product feels comfortable against the skin. No odor. You need to do a small load of laundry each day of use. I suggest dropping the inserts in a small zippered laundry bag (WalMart $3). I have endometriosis so my periods are heavy and for the first few days I use the evening pads during the day because they are longer. Start with one and wear on a day when you are at home most of the day to get used to changing/storage in a place where you are comfortable. I don't wear to exercise, a little to bulky for that. To carry with you try small make-up bags (WalMart $5 for set of 3). I highly recommend this product. Try it. It ain't your Grandmamma's rag!Product Review: Great product but it could be cheaper
Summary: 3 Stars
I recently took the plunge and made the switch to reusable pads. These Glad Rags work well and are very well made. I specifically like the way the wings wrap around your undies and snap in place. I also like the multiple inserts provided because they allow you to choose how thick the pad needs to be. I've been sincerely satisfied with the product itself, but even at the price they are here on Amazon, I still believe they are more expensive than they should be (hence, three stars instead of five).
When I looked at the pads I recieved, even as well made as they are, I quickly realized it wouldn't be hard to make them and felt a little ripped off at the price I'd paid. I later found several websites that offer patterns and ideas for sewing your own at a fraction of the cost. So if you are looking to purchase these and you have even the most beginner's skill in sewing, do a little online research and ask yourself if it might be better to make them yourself. You could spend $100 or more to purchase enough of these pads to last a single period versus $10-$25 in materials to make them.
Product Review: Life changing
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish I had known about these things years ago! I've always had a hateful relationship with my montly visitor, however since I discovered Gladrags (and Lunapads and the Diva cup) it has totally changed my outlook.
The first thing that kept me from making the switch was the cost. I've probably spent around $100 so far on reusable menstrual products and I still need to buy more. If you are a crafty individual (which I'm not) it is possible to make your own. I like to try to buy myself one pad every other cycle or as I can afford them. It seems expensive at first, but when you realize what you are saving it makes it well worth the investment.
The thing that made me eventually make the switch was for my health. Many women experience allergic reactions to the chemicals put into disposable pads to make them absorbant. I just couldn't stand it anymore. Its hard for me to think now that I suffered for over 10 years.
When I mention that I use reusable pads to my friends, they often ask two things, "Is it gross?" "What about when you're out in public?" When I'm out of my home I always use a Diva cup, and I recommend any type of reusable menstrual cup to women. I experience zero leaks so it doesn't require much changing when I'm out and it can stay in for up to 12 hours.
As for the gross factor...I don't find it any better or worse than regular pads. When I'm ready to change they go right into water to soak.
I've also learned that I LOVE the design of the glad rags nighttime pad. I only have one so far, but I love it. It fits perfectly and prevents accidents at night.
Product Review: So great
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought a 3 pack of the gladrags daytime pads, and one nightpad.
I have to admit---this is lifechanging. My skin feels so much better as a result of transitioning to this non-disposable product!
If I could afford it, I'd give a starter's set to every woman I know. It's just that wonderful!
