GladRags are made from 100% organic cotton fabric, manufactured from GOTS certified organic materials (external fleece and internal terry cloth), and thus contain no chemical ingredients or pesticide residues, making them more friendly to sensitive intimate skin.
Organic Long Cloth Pad (Unbleached)
- Suitable for those who prefer longer cotton pad protection, applicable on normal days or during days with increased discharge before and after your period, and can be used in conjunction with menstrual cups.
- The fabric is not bleached or dyed and is soft and breathable without being constricting.
- Gladrags have ultra-high absorbency, so there’s no need for a leak-proof layer, avoiding moisture buildup that can cause odors or bacteria growth due to nylon or waterproof materials.
- Reusable for up to 5 years, reducing manufacturing waste.
- Origin: USA

Cleaning Method
- First, rinse the surface menstrual blood off with cold water or directly using a shower, then use a natural ingredient cleaning agent to gently scrub until lathered, keeping the foamy state while soaking in cold water. It is also recommended to add a small amount of baking soda or sodium percarbonate to enhance stain removal. When the blood stains begin to lift, you can hand wash or put it in a washing machine with a laundry bag. (Note: Do not tumble dry, do not use fabric softeners.)
- To maintain the benefits of organic cotton suitable for sensitive skin, GladRags uses 100% organic cotton, unbleached organic cotton, or organic materials that might accumulate pigments, but are nevertheless clean. If you are sensitive to “possible” residual colors that could cause psychological discomfort, it is recommended to purchase the black version or consider other materials like polyester fiber for menstrual products.
Notes
- Fabric products may have size discrepancies due to fabric cutting and sewing.
- Brown spots may appear on organic cotton fabric, which is a natural phenomenon of organic cotton stem and leaf tissue and will decrease with washing.
- To avoid color fading and achieve better hygiene, it is recommended to hand wash separately.
- Do not tumble dry or iron, as this may damage the product; avoid using bleach and chemical cleaning agents and essential oils to prevent damaging the absorbent layer and causing sensitivity issues.
- Avoid vigorous scrubbing and wringing to prevent accelerated wear.
- The usage of cloth sanitary pads is similar to regular sanitary pads; changes are needed approximately every 2-6 hours to maintain hygiene.
- All cloth products have no adhesive function and primarily rely on buttons or other means to be secured to underwear, so when used with different underwear, displacement may occur. It is recommended to wear tighter-fitting underwear to assist with securing.
