Let’s talk periods. No, really. Let’s talk periods the way we talk about skincare routines or favorite cozy socks—because, let’s face it, we deserve a little more celebration (and a lot less synthetic nonsense) when it comes to our monthly moon cycles.
Let me paint you a picture: Me, curled up on my couch with a hot water bottle, a mug of hibiscus tea, and a quiet but unshakeable feeling that I need to change something—no, not my life (okay, maybe that too)—but my period routine. For years, I had been on autopilot: reach for the same brand of disposable pads, accept the minor discomfort, ignore the low-key rash I got every time, and try not to think too hard about what was actually in those little plastic-wrapped rectangles of doom.
Then I discovered GladRags—and let me tell you, I have never looked back.
The “Aha!” Moment: From Mystery Chemicals to Organic Cotton
It all started during a late-night internet rabbit hole, the kind where you begin by looking up “quick dinner ideas” and somehow end up reading about endocrine disruptors and how most disposable pads contain things like dioxins, bleach, and superabsorbent polymers that sound more like alien materials than something you’d want near your delicate parts.
That’s when I found GladRags. Made in the USA since 1993 (long before “organic” became a buzzword), this little Portland-based brand has been quietly sewing a revolution—one reusable cloth pad at a time.
