GladRags Bucket Kit

Reusable menstrual products are not new on the scene, yet a great deal of women still do not know that they are available. It may seem odd, but when it comes to women’s disposable pads and tampons, the people who sit highest within these companies are most often men. But when it comes to women’s products, who would know quality and comfort of a product better than a fellow woman? Which is why I am so happy to see that companies that carry reusable menstrual products, rather than disposables, are women–Companies like GladRags. There’s your first sign that reusables are the way to go.

GladRags started as a home business by Brenda Mallory in 1992 in Portland, Oregon. Brenda was inspired by earth-friendliness and comfort and has since grown into a business with a small team of employees and their products can be found in health food stores and natural pharmacies all over the country!

We got to try the GladRags Bucket Kit ($109.99) which contains three day pads, three pantyliners, one night pad, a classic carry bag, a mesh laundry bag, a bottle of Bac-Out and a soaking bucket. This kit contains everything you need to start your switch to reusable menstrual products and is a great gift for women who have sensitive skin, are trying to be a little more earth-conscious and who have sensitive skin and who have frequent problems because of disposable products–I have some horror stories of my own involving frequent urinary tract infections and sudden breakouts and rashes just from using disposables.

GladRags reusable pads are so comfortable and their night pad really makes you feel secure, as a woman who tosses and turns in her sleep and every single time I have ever used a disposable pad on the first or second nights of menstruating, I have woken up with leaks and have undoubtedly ruined many pairs of undies, but the GladRags nighttime pad really covers you and your intimates! The bucket is to soak your pads after you use them; just fill it with cold water, put some of the Bac Out solution in the water and the stains should lift right out of it. After you’re done soaking, just throw them in the washer and dryer with a normal load of clothes and you’re good to go for next month! Finally, you can save a ton of money with reusables and you won’t run out of supplies every month.
