Quick Answer
The GladRags Organic Day Pad Plus gives you two inserts to dial in absorbency for light to moderate flow, and its longer shape helps prevent leaks. Proper care keeps the organic cotton soft and absorbent for years.
Why the Day Pad Plus is different from the original Day Pad
The Day Pad Plus is 2 inches longer and slightly wider than the original Day Pad. That extra coverage matters if you tend to bleed toward the front or back, have a heavier flow, or are bigger bodied. The trade-off is a bit more bulk, so if you prefer a very minimal feel for light days, the original Day Pad might suit you better.
How the two inserts affect absorbency and feel
Using one insert gives absorbency roughly equivalent to a light-flow cloth pad — good for the beginning or end of your period. Using both inserts doubles the absorbency, which handles a moderate flow or longer gaps between changes. The extra layer does add thickness, so you may notice more padding when sitting or walking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I adjust absorbency?
Use one insert for light flow and two inserts for moderate flow. The inserts snap into the pad's built-in pocket. You can also remove the inserts entirely for very light spotting.
How do I get a secure fit?
Snap the pad around the wings of your underwear. The Day Pad Plus works best with snug-fitting briefs or hipsters. For active days, consider wearing slightly tighter underwear to keep the pad from shifting. Tighter underwear helps the pad stay in place during exercise or long walks.
How do I care for the organic cotton?
Rinse in cold water after use, then machine wash on warm with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, which break down natural fibers. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. The cotton may shrink slightly on first wash. Line drying extends the life of the organic cotton more than machine drying.
