Breaking Barriers: Saalt's Fight Against Period Poverty with Period Pants, Menstrual Discs, and Leakproof Panties

Image
Period poverty—a global crisis denying millions of women and girls access to menstrual products, education, and sanitation—persists due to financial hardships, stigma, and inadequate infrastructure. Affecting 1 in 10 girls in sub-Saharan Africa, it leads to missed school days (up to 20% annually), lost wages, and health risks like infections from unsafe alternatives such as rags or newspapers. In developed nations like the UK and US, 1 in 5 teens struggle with affordability, exacerbating mental health issues like anxiety and isolation.  Ending Period Poverty: Saalt's Sustainable Solutions for Dignity and Access As a Certified B Corp, Saalt combats this through innovative, sustainable solutions. Their  period pants  and  leakproof panties  provide absorbent protection, made without PFAS, for light flows, spotting, or bladder leaks, lasting years and reducing waste.  Menstrual discs  offer high-capacity, reusable options for heavier days, mess-free inti...

Unveiling the Environmental Toll of Disposable Pads and Tampons: Switch to Sustainable Alternatives

Image
Disposable pads and tampons, while convenient for millions managing periods, postpartum recovery, or bladder leaks, exact a heavy environmental price. A typical menstruator uses 10,000–15,000 products over a lifetime, generating up to 200 kg of waste. Globally, billions are discarded annually, with U.S. figures alone at 12 billion pads and 7 billion tampons yearly. Composed of up to 90% plastic—including rayon, polyester, and polyethylene—these items take 500–800 years to decompose, breaking into microplastics that pollute oceans, soil, and food chains, harming marine life and ecosystems.  The Hidden Cost of Convenience: How Disposable Pads and Tampons Harm Our Planet—and Better Alternatives Production demands massive resources: cotton farming guzzles 10,000–20,000 liters of water per kilogram, plus pesticides polluting waterways. Chemical processing introduces toxic dioxins and PFAS ("forever chemicals"), linked to hormone disruption and cancer, persisting in landfills and ...

Saalt's Sustainable Revolution: Cutting Plastic Waste with Reusable Period Essentials

Image
Every period contributes to a growing plastic problem—one that most of us never see. Disposable pads, tampons, liners, and their wrappers add up to billions of pieces of waste each year, much of which lingers in landfills and oceans for centuries. A single pad can take up to 800 years to break down, and synthetic fibers from disposables shed microplastics into waterways, harming ecosystems and returning to us through the food chain. It’s an environmental loop we can no longer afford to ignore.  Break the Plastic Cycle: Saalt's Reusable Essentials for Waste-Free Periods Saalt was created to offer a better way. By choosing reusable period cups, menstrual discs , and period underwear , you’re not just reducing plastic waste—you’re transforming your entire cycle. One Saalt Cup replaces an average of 3,000 disposables over its 10-year lifespan, saving resources, cutting carbon emissions, and giving you long-lasting comfort. As a Certified B Corp, we pair planet-friendly design with peo...
