Why do I change the whole GladRags pad, instead of just the inserts?
The versatile 3-part design of GladRags, serves multiple purposes: 1) the layers combine to make a thick, absorbent pad that then separates for thorough washing and faster drying; 2) the inserts allow you to customize the pad for your flow. Use one insert and it’s a mini pad, use two and it’s a maxi. If you have an especially heavy flow you can order an extra insert and use three inserts in the holder, so it’s a super maxi. But note that GladRags are so absorbent we actually sell more extra holders because many women find they only need one insert much of the time!
