Yess I finally bought my first gladrags, day rags, organic dyed burgundy I have been lookin at the site for years and never got around to it. Yay
I'd never heard of it before... but after reading your thread I looked for it in google and became interested in... I mean, it looks a bit strange but makes sense... eco-sense, at least. How does it feel? Is it comfortable? Do you need to change them all the time or is it the same as plastic pads?
i've never tried glad rags, but can't imagine ever using them. i just don't like the blood to come out of me. it feels icky. but that's just me. have you ever used a cup, cate? i love my moon cup... so clean and tidy, no mess, no wetness in my pants, no worrying that i'm bleeding all over the place (unless i forget to empty it and go to bed with it full and the suction busts... ugh)... but yay for you! i like how pretty the glad rags are. if i were to use pads, i would want pretty glad rags too!
i just can't cope with the blood NOT coming out. how funny. i felt so DIRTY using tampons and those cups. it was awful.
Im with nakedtreehugger on this one. I dont feel right sitting on my own blood and it coming out of me. I feel kinda bad coz the applicators are plastic but the cardoard ones hurt me before and Im not down for my insides being pinched. that sucked.
I have the Diva Cup actually, but it is so painful for me. I can barely put it in or take it out, and it stresses me out trying to do so :tongue: And Im always on edge thinking about this cup in my body....Im alot more at ease with the pads :tongue:
well i think it's cool that you figured out what works for you! i just feel so self conscious with the pads. everyone is so different, it's really interesting!
