Mastering Menstrual Cup Insertion: A Beginner's Guide to Comfort and Confidence

By
Inserting a menstrual cup can feel new at first, but mastering it can completely transform your period routine. The Saalt Cup is designed to make your cycle simpler, more sustainable, and amazingly comfortable—whether you’re a teen getting the hang of periods, a mom moving a mile a minute, navigating postpartum changes, or simply ready to ditch leaks and disposables for good.

New to Menstrual Cups? Here’s Your Step-by-Step Guide to Confident Insertion


Success starts with understanding your body. Choosing the right Saalt Cup size depends on your flow, cervix height, and whether you’ve given birth. Many people find that both firmness options work beautifully throughout different stages of life—because your body isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your period care shouldn’t be either.

Before your first use, wash your menstrual cup with mild soap and sanitize it by boiling for five minutes or using a Saalt Steamer or Compact Sanitizer. Clean and sanitize it between cycles to keep things fresh, comfortable, and safe.

When practicing insertion, choose a calm moment—morning or evening is ideal. Try different positions, breathe, relax your pelvic floor, and use a little water or lubricant if needed. With patience and practice, inserting your cup becomes second nature.

You deserve confident, leak-free comfort—every single cycle. With the best menstrual cup and best period underwear, you’re choosing smarter, more sustainable period care that actually works for your life. From your lightest days to your heaviest flow, Saalt helps you feel secure, supported, and free to move without worry.

By choosing Saalt, you’re not only upgrading to better periods—you’re joining a movement for dignified, sustainable care for all. Periods shouldn’t hold anyone back, and together we’re making sure they don’t.

When to begin mammograms is a key decision for managing breast health. Early breast cancer detection increases the chances of effective treatment, and understanding when to start screening is vital. A mammogram is an X-ray designed to detect early signs of breast cancer, often before any symptoms appear. The procedure involves compressing the breast between two plates to capture images, which doctors analyze for potential issues. Mammogram guidelines suggest discussing screenings with your doctor between ages 40-49 to determine the right time based on personal health and risk factors. For women 50-74, biennial mammograms are recommended, with some opting for yearly screenings for added reassurance. Those with higher risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer, may need earlier or additional testing, like breast MRIs. In addition to screenings, daily comfort plays an essential role in overall health. Wearing the right bra or bralette can provide support and confidence. Con...
