New Year’s Resolution: Stop throwing away disposables.


If this resolution is on your list, we are here to assist you in this worthy cause. Maybe you’ve got a few GladRags in your menstrual cache or maybe you have The Keeper Cup on hand to use here and there. But even though you’ve taken some steps towards reusables, there may still be a plastic pad that emerges every month or a sneaky tampon here and there that shoot out of the medicine cabinet. Well, put those tricky devils to rest. With all the reusable options available, there’s no reason we can’t help protect those of you in those, shall we say, “single-use moments!” Your reusable options are boundless…

Here are a few ideas from GladRags employees:

I use GladRags predominantly, but every now and then I want some internal protection. Sea Sponge tampons do the trick for me. They are sooooo comfortable and last for at least 6 months! Actually, they last longer, because I don’t use them as often as others do. Also, when I’m at the very end of my period, you know the time, when all you have are a couple of spots - well, I just use my period underwear! I mean, isn’t that what underwear is for??? ~ Sara

I say, go the distance. Right now, you might not be able to imagine a whole period on GladRags alone. “Even on my heaviest day?!” you gasp. YES! Once you try it, you will find yourself disappointed when you have to go swimming on a day when you are menstruating because it means a sponge or cup and not your beloved GladRags. While you’re getting a feel for how many GladRags you’ll need, bring more than enough when you’re out and about and don’t forget a GladRags Carry Bag or a ziplock bag to hold the GladRags that you use throughout the day. Embrace the flow! ~ Diana

Have you ever wondered what we do with some of the fabric scraps leftover from the cutting process?
The artist, Brenda Mallory (who also happens to be the owner of Gladrags) creates amazing, visionary works of art that embody much of the same ethic and intention put forth by GladRags.
