Saalt products are life giving
I have used several Saalt products since I first discovered the company around 2017. As someone with a very heavy flow, these made menstruating and working/going to school more manageable. I had to track how much blood I was using and the Saalt cups allowed me to do that. Saalt customer service was phenomenal - I reached out to them asking if they could help me with measurements and they sent back how I could determine how many mLs of blood loss I had every time I dumped my cup. I tracked each month with the chart they sent for years (which ultimately helped me and my physician as I needed these numbers for them).
I’ve used both cups and the discs. While cups have been my tried and true go to, the discs were nice too. I like the notch to easily grab for removal, or to turn them back into position.
Post partum I am no longer able to use the cups/discs as my body is rejecting all of them (likely a pelvic floor problem) and not a saalt issue though. I did notice that the smaller Saalt disc stayed in place best out of the 4 cups/discs. I do wonder if an even smaller disc was made if it would’ve stayed in. Although, maybe that’s not an option because it wouldn’t hold enough volume.
Even so, love Saalt products. The company has been great. Shipping has always been fast. The packaging is sustainable and still feels like it has substance to it. I love the included bags to store the cups/discs in when not in use (although when I bought the disc duo, I received 2 of the same bags rather than different colors. I like unique ones so that I can easily reach for the product I need on that particular cycle day, rather than having to open and check what mystery cup/disc is in each bag). And I love how they have innovated and introduced an even greater selection of products since I discovered them in 2017. The steamer for making sanitizing in the microwave easier and period underwear are on my list of products to try next! Since pregnancy, I’d even like to wear the light flow underwear on the remaining days as now I sometimes “leak. ” I tell everyone about my “cup” and how it is the best way to manage a period. Pre-pregnancy I could swim, bike, dance, sleep with it in and once I got the hang of checking for correct placement, I never even needed a back up product. These are literally life changing for someone whose period lasts 8+ days a month. Highly recommend to anyone!
