Saalt Soft Menstrual Cup – Reusable Period Cup – Made for Comfortable, Leak-Free Protection Up to 12 Hours – BPA & Latex Free – Includes Cup & Carry Bag (Small, Grey)

To start off, I have never used a disc before this one and I purchased the saalt regular sized disc as I have a really high cervix. I took two quizzes online prior to settling on this disc. I took the put a cup in it quiz and the period nirvana quiz. The put a cup in it quiz is the one that recommended me to use this disc. I didn’t listen to the other quiz because it seemed biased and I wanted to try this one because of the soft silicone which I found less intimidating. Also the basin of this seemed the softest. (And it is, it’s so comfortable) I was very intimidated by discs because they sit in an entirely different location than menstrual cups do. However, I was drawn to this because of how much more discs hold than cups do. I have previous experience with cups. Let me tell you, this disc changed my life. The first time I tried placing it, it went horribly and it felt weird and uncomfy. I remember it pressing on my bladder. I immediately took it off and tried again. I changed my approach to guide it further in than I originally did and it worked. I just feel around to make sure it’s properly tucked in behind my pubic bone and that it’s around my whole cervix. I have a very VERY heavy flow on the first 3 days of my period and this handled it like a pro. I slept comfortably at night, I changed it every 5 hours during the day. On day 4-6 I literally only change it every 12 hours because it doesn’t get full. Autodumping and leaks: This disc was a perfect fit for me so I had zero issues with leaks. I only leaked a bit once but it was because I placed the disc in wrong (you need to place it deeper than you think). It does auto dump once it’s full but ONLY when you use the restroom. There was no autodumping during sneezes/ coughs/ laughing. And it shouldn’t leak during regular movement unless it’s a wrong fit or placement. When it auto dumps I never have to place it back or anything either, it remains in place. Tmi but you can also just do a kegel after it auto dumps once you stand and you’re good. You don’t have to go around feeling it to put it back after using the bathroom. I heard people say to do this but it wasn’t needed for me, just do a kegel. I have strong pelvic muscles and it works for me. Placement and removal: Placement was very easy, I have placed it standing up in the shower with a leg up and sitting down on the toilet. Both work but sitting down on the toilet was the easiest. Removal was easy, I only struggled once because I have an extremely high cervix. Removal can be difficult if you aren’t used to using your pelvic muscles or accustomed to your body’s anatomy. You simply bear down with your pelvic muscles and reach for the rim and slowly wiggle it out. I remove it over the toilet and slowly wiggle it out to avoid causing a mess. I haven’t caused a single spill or mess while removing as a first time user. It’s painless and I use extra small tampons for reference because I literally cannot use bigger tampons they always hurt. Because of the soft silicone material this never causes friction and it feels very comfortable to insert and remove. My overall user experience: I use this disc with period underwear just in case it ever leaks or the leftover after it autodumps from using the bathroom. And there is absolutely no need. The disc handles everything for me and I’ve started to wear just normal underwear when I have the disc because of how much trust I have in it. (No pantiliner, nothing!) And the best part is I don’t have to use pads or tampons anymore! This is amazing but I suggest doing your research to have less of a learning curve. I researched everything about discs and how to use them and I recommend getting comfortable with your personal anatomy because it will make this ten times easier.

I absolutely love this product. I was a bit hesitant at first because it seemed larger and I was unsure about the fit. I recently got an IUD and could no longer use a menstrual cup due to suction, so I decided to try this as an alternative. I am so glad I did. It is much more comfortable than tampons and I have noticed a reduction in cramping when using it. It holds a good amount and I find it easy to empty when needed (auto dumping, look it up!), at least for my anatomy. There can be a bit of a learning curve, and it can be slightly messy when inserting or removing, but as long as you have access to wash your hands it is not a big issue. I have been able to wear it for a full day (12+ hours) without leaks and with complete peace of mind. I sometimes use a liner as backup, but I have not really needed it. The material is soft and flexible, and it is easy to clean. The ring is sturdy and makes removal simple. Overall, this has been a game changer for me and I would highly recommend it, especially for anyone with an IUD or looking for a more comfortable option.

Talk about an absolute game changer. Wow, and I truly mean wow. Saalt, thank you. I bought the two pack of the regular and small cup. Given my flow is as heavy as it is I was really uncertain as to whether this was going to be my finally switching out from using tampons. I couldn't do it anymore due to the internal physical pain that the cotton fabric was causing me since I was in need of ultra tampons for the majority of my cycle. With that in mind, I was going through an ultra tampon every two-four hours depending on how much my uterus hated me that particular month. I had originally considered going with a different brand with a larger cup size for that reason. Turns out it wasn't even necessary. I've been using the large cup for twenty-four hours now and I haven't had a single issue that any of the negative reviews state. In fact, all I have to say is positive. For starters, I can go for up to about six hours before I feel like I have to empty the cup. It definitely takes some getting used to as far as insertion and removal, but once you get the hang of it, you're golden! I played cards against humanity last night with my nephew and laughed so hard I felt the cup flex a lot like it was breathing and thought I might blow it right out (which had me laughing harder and no, I didn't share that with him lol), but it stayed in place and worked perfectly. Last night was my first night using the cup and while, yes, I should have probably emptied prior to going to bed I didn't and had zero issues. We're talking TEN hours with a flow that typically uses ultra absorbency tampons (granted I was stationary), and no leaks at all. I'm totally in awe of what this product has done for me. I haven't used the small cup yet, but as for the regular you know it's there. It isn't like you insert and forget which is a good thing. Since TSS is an issue you WANT to know it's there. At first, I noticed that I felt like I needed to urinate after it was in, but after a few hours of wear that feeling stopped. The sensation takes a little bit to get used to, but it doesn't have that abrasive friction and constant irritation that I was getting from tampons. Nobody needs that. Why do we still make them? If you're having trouble with insertion and removal there's plenty of helpful videos on YouTube and QandA's on Google. If you're new to the cup or considering, this is worth the investment. I'm twenty-four hours in and refuse to go back to tampons. Saalt makes a wonderful product and I'll be singing their praises to whomever is willing to listen. Do yourself a favor and get it. It's worth the investment and money you'll save as well as cutting back on unnecessary pain associated with tampon use. Update: I switched to the small cup later on in the evening of day two. It was harder to insert the cup and as it turns out, I wasn't bleeding as heavy (keep this in mind for later). Easier time overall using the small cup and also didn't have leaking issues. Emptied each time I went to the bathroom so say... Every four to six hours or so. I was about 60 hours or so into my cycle or about two and a half days when I noticed there wasn't really anything to empty. I figured hey, probably due to gravity and the fact that I had been lying down using a heating pad (again, back problems *cough, cough, old*) and nothing really moved down that way. I even wiped and noticed nothing. Ok, weird. It happens. Roughly another six or more hours later and I use the bathroom again (it's hot as hell, I'm drinking a lot of water, don't judge me) and I reach in, break the suction and go to empty... Nothing. There's nothing at all to empty. Confused now, and assuming what I was hoping to be true had just happened, I went on the internet and discovered a few blerbs on Google and then came across an entire article by Vice. There's an entire website dedicated to cups called Put A Cup In It. I'm stating these things because there's a physical effect to using a cup. Not only did I just have the least painful period of my life, but I also just had the shortest. I just had a period that lasted about two and a half days. This happens to 53% of women that switch to using the cup. It's a completely understudied phenomenon and it's a shame it isn't more widely known for all of woman kind. It takes getting used to, but it's so worth it. If I had known I'd be in less pain every month and bleed for WAY fewer days I would have switch such a long time ago. Make the switch and liberate yourself.

Uso le coppette saalt normali da qualche anno, sono facili da usare e si aprono facilmente, ma nell'ultimo periodo mi causavano la cistite a causa della durezza. Ho deciso di provare le soft e tutto si é risolto! Si apre facilmente anche se è più morbida! Consiglio a tutte. Mai più senza.

I love these salt cups, only I’ve purchased the set three times already and the smaller size always tears when I am pulling out after 3-6 months of having it. I am gentle of course however I haven’t had this issue with any other cup. I’ve moved on to a more durable one which works although I wish I could keep using the Saalt ones due to softness, shape and aesthetic. If they improved the end I would recommend to everyone.

Nu baal ik ervan dat ik hem niet jaren geleden had gekocht. Het kost even wat maar dan hebje ook wat. Ik wil niet anders meer, minder gedoe en makkelijk schoon te maken. Mijn buikkrampen zijn niet meer zo heftig, je vergeet bijna dat je menstrueert tijdens het gebruik van de menstruatiecup.

Esta muy bien el tamaño y la flexibilidad, pero con solo un periodismo de uso, la tirita que cuelga está a punto de romperse

Ok so this was not the first menstrual cup I had tried. I had tried a Luna or something a few years ago but it was so uncomfortable it ended up in the bin 😭 Having already wasted one, for my next purchase I was very careful to look for the very best soft option I could afford, where previous reviewers had specified comfort, and Saalt was it. I bought the soft version double pack with two sizes so I could be sure one would fit. I just want to say I made the BEST decision. Putting it in first time wasn’t too hard, some people use lube but I was ok without. You have to fold it to insert it. It didn’t unfold or pop out to cup shape immediately and I did have an uncomfortable minute or two trying to sort this out but in the end I gave up and it just sorted itself out when I stood up. Slept a good nights sleep, got up, checked emails did a bunch of other stuff and only when my 12 hour timer wen5 off remembered I had it in. That’s how comfy and safe it was. So much better than a tampon. When it comes to emptying it, you need to be careful. I’m heavy and there was a lot...I wouldn’t do it in a bathroom at work let’s just say, it can get a bit messy. But the great thing is, you wouldn’t need to. If you put it in the morning, it’ll take you through 5he day. 5 mins after you get home, empty, rinse reinsert and you’re good to the next morning. I’m so glad I found this! It MUST be healthier and more hygienic than sanitary towels or tampons and it’s more sustainable too. I have some eco lilley reusable pads, bought as a back up, but I suspect I’ll only use them in emergencies now. One thing I did want to add, I usually have a lot of period pain, which tampons made all the worse...the soft Saalt cup not only didn’t cause pain, but I think it’s eased it a bit. People also complain about cups pressing on the bladder, making you feel like you need to wee; this didn’t at all. Just so comfy! I wish these had been out when I was 12! Get the two pack with different sizes. It’s likely both will fit but one might be more comfy than the other. But then you’ll be sure of a good fit and an acceptable back up. I’m certainly pleased I got the soft duo. Saalt is also a great company to support as they’re giving these to girls in developing countries, which helps them enormously!
