Sunday, June 1st, 2008New Products: Heat Packs and Kegel Exercisers
National Women’s Health week was last month, but we like to extend our awareness of the importance of the health of women to the whole year.
We now carry the Énergie kegel exerciser by Natural Contours. It is an ergonomically shaped weight resistance trainer that helps you hones in on the vaginal kegel muscles to help keep them fit and healthy. Strong kegel muscles are important to pleasurable feelings, orgasms, and urinary control. Age and childbirth can weaken the tone of these muscles, leading to incontinence as well as lack of sensitivity. This easy to use device helps you focus your kegel work to strengthen those muscles and keep you on the track of pelvic health during all times of life.
For some people, heat can be very soothing for menstrual cramping. Whether it be your abdomen or your pack that is feeling the tension, this Comfort Pac by Herbal Concepts is calming and relaxing. This soft pack can be warmed by microwave or cooled in the freezer and is filled with a physician’s blend of 12 soothing aromatic herbs.

We're doing some spring cleaning at GladRags. Our June special is 20% off Camouflage printed day pads. We thought there was a funny hip irony about menstrual blood going on a traditionally macho fabric. I guess the joke was on us because the storage room is full of camo pads. But these tough looking pads are soft and comfy and best of all they really hide the stains!

Once in a while we receive e-mails and notes that warm our hearts and make us very, very happy. "I am delighted that I am no longer putting disposable products into the environment and I feel that the use of your product has improved my health and my comfort with/when having a period as well." Teresa from Oakland, CA said this and more. Check out her full testimonial on our blog.
