Patients may find relief from Vulvodynia symptoms when using
GladRags cotton pads. While not a cure, GladRags offer comfort to women
suffering from vulvar pain when other plastic or synthetic pad options exacerbate
an existing condition. Women suffering from vulvar vestibulitis, a condition sometimes associated with the use of chemicals (via disposable pads, detergents, soaps, spermicides etc.) may also find great relief when using GladRags. I recommend GladRags to all menstruating women.

Many women suffering from vaginal irritations, vulvodynia, contact dermatitis or chemical sensitivities find relief from symptoms when using reusable, all cotton GladRags menstrual pads. Cotton allows your skin to breath unlike plastics or other synthetic materials. Our organic undyed cotton is the purest, softest material available.
Read what some of our customers have to say about their experience with GladRags and Vulvodynia:
Dear GladRags,
I have had vulvodynia for ten years now and found it impossible to wear tampons or any of the over-the-counter pads anymore without great irritation. I was referred to GladRags, ordered some on the phone, (this was before your website) and have been using them ever since. I run a support group for women who have vulvodynia in the Chicagoland Area for the National Vulvodynia Association (NVA), and I always have your catalogs on the table at my support group meetings.
I use the undyed organic cotton pads only and recommend those to my group and anyone suffering from vulvodynia who is having problems wearing regular tampons or pads. They have been a Godsend to me throughout the years and I don't know what I would have done without this product. Your organic cotton pads are very comfortable and non-irritating. I also love the fact that I can wear them as an everyday pad without the liners. Thank you so much for making this chronic pain condition a little more bearable.
Sincerely,
Pam Fischer, RN BSN
NVA Chicagoland Support Leader
Dear GladRags,
I am a 23 year old woman, who has been suffering from Vulvodynia for 5 years. I was troubled to hear that pads found in your local drug store were loaded with chemicals and synthetic material. This could definitely worsen my symptoms and hinder healing with vulvodynia. My doctor recommended GladRags. I was amazed with the results. The softness of the GladRags material was helpful to me and they did not worsen my symptoms during menstruation. I was also impressed with how well they worked. Most of all it gave me piece of mind knowing I am not making my vulvodynia worse with the harsh chemicals and bleaches found in disposable pads.
Thank you,
Crystal
Proud Supporter of the NVA
