Saalt Soft Regular

5 stars all the way! I cannot express how game-changing this disc is. Here’s an overwhelmingly positive review from a certified internet-researching skeptic! I am finally FREE from period worries & stress! Within 24 hours of using this product, I KNEW my period life was forever changed. I’m now on period number 3 of using it and I can’t find the words to express how life-changing this disc has been for me. No more worrying about bleeding through tampons or having to time my bathroom breaks every 1-2 hours to make sure I would be ok while I’m at work. No more uncomfortable cramping from tampons or worrying about if I have enough tampons on me when my period decides to show up on its irregular schedule. No more spending $1,000+ a year on dumb period products because being a woman is a scam and these necessary materials aren’t provided to women for free like they should be. This is literally a “set it and forget it” kind of situation. It’s also true to the claim this product makes: this is truly a mess-free period sex solution! I am beyond amazed at how little mess there is, and it’s still easy to remove afterward to clean and replace. Definitely wash and replace after sex! I will note the following things to be mindful of: - I do feel like I need to pee more often, but not overwhelmingly so or a worrisome amount more. I think it’s more that the disc is filling up, so I feel like I need to go more often. There’s a *very* slight pressure, but everyone is different and I barely notice it at all especially compared to how noticeable tampons are for me. You can auto-dump (empty the disc without removal by bearing down) very easily throughout the day when you use the bathroom (the first time I did it I didn’t even mean to, but now that I know how easy it is it’s such a relief and has no mess afterward). It’s also kind of interesting to visually see and know how much is in the disc as my period progresses so I know in the future if anything seems abnormal. - It is very easy to remove and replace the disc. I wear it all day for 12 hours and then overnight for the same. In the morning it can be a little more difficult to remove, but if you sit up/stand and walk around for 5-10 minutes and loosen up your muscles it becomes much easier to remove. I usually get out of bed and get ready for my day or read a chapter of a book (~10 minutes of not lying down), then remove and wash/replace it and it’s a breeze. - I’ve found that if you break the seal the disc makes throughout the day when removing it by pinching the lip of the disc between two fingers to pull it out it’s pretty easy to remove. Just stay calm and breathe deeply; it will never get lost inside and can always be removed. Pro-tip: Wash your hands with the pH soap and leave your fingers wet for removal and replacement! It makes everything so, so much easier to do. Side-notes on other Saalt purchases: - I’ll be picking up the smaller (Coral) version of this disc for use during the last half of my period, as I don’t feel I need the larger size past the first 2-3 days and think it will alleviate the feeling of having to pee as much. - I purchased the pH-balanced soap that Saalt sells, and it’s amazing. I am insanely sensitive/allergic to almost every kind of soap on the market, and this doesn’t bother me at all. I’m allergic to fragrance and sulfates, so I was initially worried about the scent it has but it doesn’t cause me any allergies and actually smells really nice and is incredibly faint. Highly recommend this wash! A little goes a long way so the value is great too. - I also purchased the Saalt steamer because I am very lazy and don’t want to boil the disc before and after my cycle. The first one I bought was broken, but my quick and easy replacement has worked wonders since. Highly recommend picking it up! - I’ll be picking up the compact travel sanitizer case to carry my disc with me on days I’m expecting my period to maybe start and for the just-in-case situations where I need to clean it on the go but don’t have an easily accessible private bathroom. It took a little getting used to for learning how to remove the disc easily (1-2 days), and it can be kind of messy the first 2-3 days. It definitely wasn’t nearly as difficult to learn to use as my internet researching lead me to believe, so definitely try it out if you’re interested and don’t be hesitant if you’re afraid of a learning curve. I do wish there was a slightly better lip for removal on the disc but it’s pretty decent and if there was more to grab on to I think it might make wearing it less comfortable during the day so they’ve struck a pretty perfect balance here. I remove mine over the toilet and it’s really not bad at all! I really can’t recommend this product enough! I’ve told all my female friends about it and now they’ve all switched to using it and can’t stop raving about how it’s changed their life and thanking me for the recommendation! :) I don’t write many reviews - I’m a 10-hours of research on the internet and reddit for any purchase I make and highly skeptical of reviews kind of gal. I’m here writing this with the hope that I can ease the minds of anyone who has done the internet research and is still on the fence from the handful of reviews that say menstrual discs are difficult to use and require a long learning curve. It took me less than 48 hours to master how to use this disc and I will never ever ever go back to using any other period product for the rest of my life. Good luck & happy periods ladies!! :)

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.

As someone just getting into the world of menstrual products besides pads and tampons, I watched and read through so many reviews. But that honestly only helps so much because everyone’s different and even though a lot of these products are “one size fits all”, it may not be the best fit. Cups scare me but the disc just seemed easier to use and to remove. I like the lack of suction and that you don’t have to pull on it to get it out. Once I decided on a disc, finding the right one was daunting. So many options. I’ve tried the Cora disc and I liked it but after the first day I could constantly feel it and it just hurt to put in and take out. Then I saw the Saalt disc and it had the same notch design that I loved on the Cora disc but it came in a smaller version so I decided to try it and it might be the best thing I’ve ever tried. (See pics, it’s honestly SO small) I think for younger people like myself, and people new to discs, the small sized Saalt cup is a great place to start. It’s super easy to insert. The instructions are detailed but I recommend looking up a YouTube video for tips to make it easier. Once it’s in, you can’t feel it at all. The downside of the smaller one is that it doesn’t hold as much so the first couple days of my period I had to empty it a couple times throughout the day but it’s no harder to do than changing a tampon (for me at least this one has great auto dumping and it empties itself at least halfway once it’s full when you use the bathroom) and with this you can sleep with it in for 12 hours so that’s a big plus as well. Taking it out can be harder but the shower is probably the easiest way to do it and since you can leave it in so long I’d just do it at the end of the day. Honestly an amazing product. Great quality. Doesn’t stain (I rinse it with hot water every time I empty it and leave it in boiling water for a few minutes at the beginning and end of the cycle so that helps). The packaging is so nice, I love the carrying bag it comes with. Also a wonderful brand that donates towards period care to places that need it. I’d definitely recommend trying it! If you’re new to it then definitely start here and if you’ve had issues with others then I’d definitely try this one as well.

Okay I have been using this for almost a full week now and I have some thoughts- First, I like it! It gives me a secure almost freeing feeling. Like I could not wear a panty liner and I’d be fine (probably) and I don’t need to empty it every single time I use the bathroom like I would a pad or tampon. I love that. I can just stick it up there and forgot about it until I get home. I recently started getting a sensitivity to regular pads/tampons and i wanted to find something that would help that. This 100% solved that problem for me! Plus with this I don’t need to buy products every month which is great! I do love this, but I have a super heavy flow 2-3 days out of my regular 8. So for the days that aren’t my heavy days this was perfect, but for my heavy days it didn’t quite cut it. I had to empty every few hours which wouldn’t be a big deal except for this thing is MESSY! And it will get all over your hand or at least a finger or two so it’s a bit difficult to do this at work when the only bathroom is public with multiple stalls. Also side note- I have not figured out this whole auto empty thing so that might change things but I’m convinced that’s not real- what I’ve been doing is just sticking a single finger over the rim to let some out and then give a little push to empty as much as I can without taking it out. I’m hesitant to try the larger size, but to be honest it’s just because I just bought this product and I can’t justify spending money on the other one immediately after but I’m sure it would work great. I did leak once or twice on my heavy days but luckily I was wearing a liner and it wasn’t too bad. Insertion was wayyy easier than I thought it would be. The was pretty nervous since this was my first disc but it wasnt a problem. I just followed the directions that were in the box exactly and it was great! I recommend reading the instructions and maybe doing some additional research/getting familiar with your anatomy if you aren’t already. For me the firmness and soft silicone work great. No pain while inserting even if it unfolds to early. It’s not too firm or anything. I also can’t feel it while it’s in, it’s almost too comfortable I’m worried I’ll forget about it lol. Luckily that hasn’t happened but that does bring me to the worst part of this product- removing it… This thing sits up really high so you have to dig. I also had long nails at the beginning of the week and it just happened to work out that that came off halfway through and it was way easier to remove without nails but still hard. It has a notch to grab onto and pull but it does NOT work. It’s too slippery and it turns once it’s inside you so it doesn’t matter anyways because you can’t reach or find it. I have just been finding the rim and grabbing that to pull it out and it has been working for me. This was is quite messy but as long as I’m in my own bathroom it’s really not too bad. There have been a few times where I’m digging for it for a while but I learned that if you push a few times and sometimes at the same time it will push it down so it’s easier to grip. I was pretty worried about this based on other reviews but it really wasn’t too bad. For me, for now, the positives out weight the negatives and if you think this is something you’d like, I think you should give it a try! A few additional details for anyone- I do have an IUD so I was looking for something without suction- this will suction a little but not enough to bother my IUD and by grabbing the rim it breaks any suction anyways. I have checked my strings since I was worried and they are just fine and in the same place they were before. Lastly I did have sex while wearing this and my husband said he couldn’t feel it at all. It was totally clean, no leaking during or after. However, it was the hardest to remove after that since it was pushed so far up, but still reachable.

Despite a high pain tolerance and having 3 kids, I have always been squeamish about tampons and used pads most of my life. About 4 months ago I started using tampons but I have heavy periods and the cost of a couple boxes or non toxic ones every month, plus nighttime pads, was breaking the bank, so i decided to give this a try - the gold standard for non tox, sustainability, and budget. I was expecting it to be really hard to remove but it was actually quite easy. It’s comfortable, holds a lot (I was bleeding through a super plus tampon on 4 hours on heavy days, and this lasted me about 8 and was only 3/4 full). Here are my highlights: -it made my periods LESS PAINFUL. I have had 5 periods postpartum with my third child. They make me wish for pregnancy again. They have been so heavy, so painful, just agonizingly miserable from start to finish. And I have a downward and outward pushing sensation the entire time, like my uterus is trying to crawl out of my body. Probably a sign my pelvic floor is weaker this time around. But when I wear this cup, that feeling is GONE. I was comfortable and even forgot I had a period for most of the week, and lest you think it’s my hormones balancing (like I also suspected), on the last day I wore a panty liner with no cup, and the sensation was back. It’s like the cup offered me some mild splinting and support. So if you have this feeling during you periods, see a pelvic floor therapist. But also buy this cup. You will be rejoicing. -it can shift and leak during workouts, especially if it’s very full. I started emptying it before workouts with no issue. But other than that, I didn’t experience leakage. -a few times it didn’t expand all the way when I inserted it, and few minutes later it popped all the way open on its own. This is good news and bad news: it’s a sharp and sudden sensation for a split second when it fully opens. But it’s reassuring to know that at least in my experience, it’s never had a faulty seal that caused leaking (other than when working out). I have a retroflexed uterus, which can make using a cup more challenging for some. But this cup is plenty soft enough for me, and I find that the easiest angle for inserting is while on the toilet rather than in the shower as some recommend. It holds so much. Like I mentioned, I have very heavy periods lately and using disposable products was getting too expensive, I just went through a ridiculous amount. I am convinced that I could wear this cup for close to a full 12 hours even on my heaviest days, and—one of the best parts—it’s safe to wear all night long.

Every gal I know who uses menstrual cups loves them. After hearing about it for the umpteenth time, I decided it was time to order one of my own. Saalt comes nicely packaged, with instructions for use and sterilization and a little bag to keep it in. Insertion wasn't horribly difficult. It took a few twists to get it to open, and I leaked a small amount the first hour, but then it was all good. I have very heavy periods, and I had it in for eight hours with no leaks! Color me impressed! After the 8 hours, I get home and go to remove it. It's up there. WAY up there, I can barely feel it. The instructions say not to pull the tab, so I set about trying to pinch the damn cup to get it to un-suction and release. After about ten desperate minutes I'm able to twist it out - no mess, full cup - I dumped, cleaned and replaced. Not so bad, I think, I can do this! I go to a work event, and come back two hours later and try to remove it again. I thought it was up there before, but now it's almost gone. The Saalt cup is latched to my cervix like a starved leech. Try as I might, I cannot get it to come out. I can BARELY reach the cup with my fingers. I pull on the string, no bueno. At this point I'm starting to worry I'll have to go to the ER for the humiliating task of removal. So I call my fiance upstairs and tell him I have a very unfortunate task I need his assistance with. Now we're BOTH trying our damnedest to remove this thing. No luck. He's close to tears. I'm close to tears. The dog is standing nervously in the doorway, unsure how to help. Finally, in a fit of part rage, part distress, I grab the tab and I pull as hard as I can. It feels like it's pulling my entire uterus with it. Right as I'm about to give up hope - POP - it un-suctions and flies out, dropping what can only be described as a bomb of blood all over my bathtub. My fiance almost fell in his hasty retreat from the bathroom. It's been four days, and he still won't look me in the eye. It does what it's supposed to, but at what cost? I'll be experimenting next with the ones that have a hoop for "easy removal." TL;DR - you won't leak for hours, but you'll need the strength of the Hulk or digits like Salad Fingers to remove it. It's also worth mentioning I felt like it, for lack of a better word, "clogged" me up after it got full - maybe my fault for not dumping it throughout the day. EDIT: after a year of use and experimenting with other cups (frankly, this is the only one that does not regularly have leakage), I'm adding the final star. As many others have said, using this cup takes practice. Insertion and removal are both fairly easy (I do sometimes have to fish around, but nothing like before). If you're looking at other cups, just take it from me... this is the best you're gonna get.

After years of misery I finally decided to give period discs and cups a try. After two babies I can’t tolerate a tampon, they feel like they are stabbing me, and I leak around them; and pads leave my skin feeling raw by the end of my period week. And I leak around them half the time anyway, even wearing extra long overnight pads during the day. And I don’t even have an overly heavy flow. I tried flex discs first. They were very comfortable and I had noticeably less cramping, but I kept having leaks, and they would need adjusting all the time during the day. When they were in place, I couldn’t tell they were there- but I knew immediately if they migrated. And my God, I could never find a way to take them out without it being a bloodbath. And they were disposable, so I had to keep shelling out money, and then I was putting more plastic in landfills. AND I still needed to wear a liner or pad anyway. I gave it five months, but then I called the experiment a bust. I resigned myself to pads thinking that I f tampons were too uncomfortable then a menstrual cup would be, too. But friends kept telling me to try one. There’s a website www.putacupinit.com that goes over like every product out there and the quiz they have to help suggest the right product pointed me to the Saalt Soft Cup. So far, I REALLY like it. I got through a day at home, a day at work (12 hour shift as a nurse in a busy ER), and two sleeps -and between the Saalt and Bambody period underwear (HIGHLY. RECOMMEND.)- NO LEAKS on my clothes or sheets, and no raw skin from pads. -I can feel the cup, but it is infinitely more comfortable than a tampon. I’m aware it’s there but I can tune the sensation of it being there out easily. It doesn’t feel like it’s stabbing me the way a tampon does. I have had to adjust it a bit a couple of times, but it’s mush easier to do with the cup than the disc, and MUCH less messy when it happens. -It was easy to insert correctly from the start. The instructions are clear, and I got it right the first try. -I have had scant leaking around it, unlike the flex disc that leaked all the time. I would almost be willing to wear it with regular underwear, but the thought of an accident doesn’t seem worth it when the Bambody underwear are so comfy. -When it is time to remove and reinsert the cup, it is SO MUCH LESS MESSY than the disc. I never once managed to remove a disc without getting blood all over myself. And the toilet. And occasionally the floor. It was insane. Twice I’ve been mess free with the cup, and the other times the amount of blood spillage was minimal. -The only area the flex disc beats the Saalt is that you can still have sex while wearing the disc, but not while wearing the cup. For me, this isn’t a deal breaker. And you can always keep a stock of discs just for period sex if you want. -So far I’ve only worn the larger of the two cups, since I’m just starting my cycle. If for some reason the lighter cup is a problem I will update, but worst case, I wear only the large and spent a little more on the two pack than necessary. I’m saving a ton over the life of the cup by not buying disposable products. I’m nearly 40, and the website estimates I will save nearly $1300 by switching. Imagine if I had started younger!

This is the third menstrual cup I've tried, as well as the third brand I have tried. I think the cup I tried before (Lena cup) was too thick and was difficult to insert, which led me to buy and try this cup. The Saalt cup is the perfect amount of thickness, that is easy to fold and insert. I haven't noticed any staining on the cup as well. The cup says it's "Leak-Free" but it does leak out a small amount and I wouldn't consider myself a heavy bleeder either. Other than that, the Saalt cup is pretty good and comfortable. I would recommend this cup to anyone who's been thinking of making the switch to a menstrual cup. A little piece of advise for new users, you want to break the suction of the cup instead of just pulling the cup out by the stem. How do you break the suction? Just pinch the walls of the cup first.

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.

This cup works for me, you need to know yourself as much as you can and understand cups a lot to get one that works really well. I have a high cervix and though this isn’t the longest cup I can reach it to remove in a certain position, which works for me. The stem is a soft kind, some review this as bad but it’s not bad for it’s intended purpose at all, it’s meant to be soft so you cannot feel it by your public bone or creating any friction, for this reason, if you need a firm large stem to grip and wiggle you will find it way too small and soft so this cup & saalt in general isn’t for you! It’s very bendy because the stem isn’t meant to be pulled straight down, you find it, pinch and slowly wiggle left then slowly wiggle right and repeat as you pinch further up the stem until you find the base, once there you reach in further to pinch the base and wait for the suction to release and then wiggle gently to remove the cup. It has 30ml capacity (I got the regular for high cervix) meaning I can have long gaps between changing on my heavy day, once sealed I don’t leak at all nor has it ever unsealed it’s self. I do lots of physical housework and exercise and yoga in my cup, I shower and bathe with it, bowel movements also don’t move it but this could be different for you. For reference I go 12 hours on a light day, and sleep between changes, and go 6-8 hours on a heavy day and sleep between changes (all white sheets but Im not afraid it’s genuinely never let me down once sealed) On the subject of me choosing the regular size, I don’t have a heavy period for more than one day, I’ve not had a baby, I’m 24, I have a high cervix. The small is only 5ml less capacity but the base of the cup sits higher in you so this is why the regular is recommended for higher cervix users. The cup is one of the better to insert as it’s soft and silky. Once in I wait for the pop (Proper seal created) instead of poking around up there, usually happens between 1m and 30m after insertion. Some people do reach up and try to make it happen but this is a softer cup meaning it may not instantly pop open and seal for you. But i find it’s fast enough with low effort from me to work well for me. This cup being soft is good for sensitive bladders or if you’ve had firmer before and felt it when you shouldn’t, mine figuratively disappears once the seal is made, I feel some fullness until it seals. The product itself is great quality silicone, cleans well and feels great, if cups were a thing to show off I would parade around with this grey beauty outside of my body rather than in it 😂. Packaging is all cardboard minus one disk of plastic which is easily removed for recycling.

It's absolutely amazing! No accidents during the day, no mess, no nothing! It's a bit big I must say...and this makes it a tiny bit harder to insert and pull. For a heavy, heavy, flow I can keep it inside for 5-6 hours. During the night I don't have any problems, but as soon as I stand up...leakage might occur. It happened a few times... By heavy flow I mean I used to use the biggest tampons and change them every 3 hours even in the night-time.

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.
