New Year's Special - Save on Kits!!
Did you or a friend make a New Year's resolution to be more eco-friendly? Be kinder to your body? Spend less money? Making the switch to GladRags pads or menstrual cups is the perfect way to meet all these goals! If you have already made the switch, now is a great time to buy for friends or replenish your stash. GladRags is kicking off the new year with a sale on our already discounted kits — just enter coupon code HAPPY2010 at checkout to score 25% off any kit, from the Bucket Kit to the Moon Cup Kit through the end of the month!
Did You Know?
The average woman will use up to 16,000 disposable tampons or pads in her lifetime — all of which end up in landfills and can take hundreds of years to biodegrade! By choosing reusable products like cloth pads, menstrual cups, or sea sponges, you're keeping all that waste out of the environment, not to mention creating a healthier lifestyle for yourself and saving money. So congratulations for being one of the many women who've made the sustainable choice to use GladRags!
What's new on the blog:
- GladRags Guerrilla Natalie G. shared her story about converting friends to reusables with gifts. Way to go, Natalie!
- This month's Menstrual Monday posts brought you everything from ancient snake goddesses to period flags. Check it out!
- January's Monthly Friend is Jamie, whose husband not only supports her use of GladRags but even has a funny nickname for the night pad!
