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

Great menstrual cup!!
I was somewhat skeptical about this but I am so glad that I got it. I have been looking for less toxic and better menstrual items for a while and I just couldn’t justify spending $18 on tampons. This is a one time purchase and will last so long- probably until I don’t need it anymore. Might end up splurging for the steam cleaning thing that this brand makes, but I have no problem boiling this once a month to sanitize and use it. I ordered the small despite having given birth to two babies, and I’m glad I did. I have a light flow and a pretty short length to my cervix. Dont be afraid to buy the small if you think it might be right for you even though it says something about pre-birth in the size indicators. Changing this out every 12 hours is amazing vs. changing pads or tampons. Pads feel so disgusting to me. Even though you have to pull this out and dump the blood, I still think its way more cleanly and less gross than wearing a pad. I am wearing a small panty liner until I get the hang of placement because I did have a little leaking until I got it situated correctly.

From an almost 40 year old woman and first time user, GET IT!
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.

Fan of this!
So I purchased a cheap cup set prior to this (shordy brand, small and regular size set) to see if I like them before spending a lot of money.They gave me a good idea of the size I need, which is small and short.I chose this saalt because it is a slightly smaller diameter than the other cup I was using previously. It is also softer.It’s much nicer! The softer silicone creates less pressure on my bladder. The actual cup itself is shorter, and while the stem is longer, it’s so thin and soft it’s not very noticeable. The cup seems to have less suction against my anatomy upon removal as well due to larger holes in the sides on the upper part of the cup, and it is less painful to remove.

My wife is very happy with this cup. First cup was too firm and small for her, it was leaking. This cup doesn’t leak, it is not too soft and not too firm. She said, It opens easily inside, and she doesn’t feel it during the day. However she said it is very hard do choose your individual size, so she recommends to watch instruction on You Tube before you make your choice, there is one channel that helped her a lot, and explained all the things she had questions about. They also offer there a quiz (test) at the end of the test you will get recommendations, which cup to choose.All in all – very nice softness, shape and handle.

c’est le troisième coupe que j’essaie. c’était devenu un peu désespérant. mais celle-la est vraiment super.
