About The Products
What is a reusable menstrual cup?A menstrual cup is sustainable alternative to tampons and pads. It is a soft, flexible cup that sits at the lower base of the vaginal canal during menstruation to collect menstrual fluid. It is worn internally, yet because it is soft and smooth, it cannot be felt. It creates a slight suction when inserted properly which prevents leakage. Unlike tampons and pads, the cup neither absorbs the flow nor catches it outside the body, but collects the blood inside of the body. The cup can be removed, emptied, and reinserted for multiple uses. They are perfect for traveling, running, biking, dancing, camping, swimming, yoga, and more. It can even be worn overnight. They have a life expectancy of 10 years if properly cared for! Menstrual cups are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, and have actually been around since the 1930's.

What are Glad Rags Reusable Pads?
GladRags reusable menstrual pads are a fantastic alternative to disposable tampons and pads. They are fantastic to use just on their own or in conjunction with a menstrual cup. There are more pads in our landfills than there are baby diapers. We think that is much more gross than using reusable menstrual pads. Glad Rags was also started by a mother daughter duo. It employes people from the local community and even provides work for people with disabilities.
