Tired of the same old pads and tampons? Menstrual discs could be your next period game-changer. These flexible, reusable devices sit comfortably just below the cervix, collecting rather than absorbing your flow—meaning no dryness and up to 12 hours of leak-free wear. Unlike menstrual cups , period discs don’t rely on suction and can feel virtually undetectable once placed correctly. They're ideal for those seeking a discreet, eco-friendly, and budget-conscious solution. Whether you're new to period products or looking for something more comfortable, menstrual discs offer a modern twist that fits into any lifestyle—from workouts to workdays. That said, they come with a learning curve. Insertion and removal can be messy at first, and getting the right fit may take time. Still, with a little practice, many users swear by the freedom and confidence menstrual discs bring. At Saalt, we create premium, sustainable period care—from menstrual discs to leakproof period pants —designe...

Period underwear is getting tons of buzz—for good reason! These leakproof period pants are comfy, reusable, and a great alternative (or backup) to pads, tampons, and cups. But while they sound like a dream, period panties aren’t perfect for everyone. Some common drawbacks include the upfront cost (a single pair can cost $20–$50), and the laundry routine—you’ll need to rinse, wash gently, and air dry them. If you have a heavy flow, you might also need to change pairs during the day, which isn’t always convenient. And like regular underwear, fit really matters—too tight or too loose can lead to discomfort or leaks. Lastly, some brands use synthetic fabrics or chemicals that may not be ideal for sensitive skin or the planet. That’s where Saalt Wear comes in. Made with sustainable, toxin-free materials (like TENCEL™ and recycled fibers), Saalt offers comfy, stylish, and size-inclusive period underwear in absorbencies for every flow. Plus, as a certified B Corp, Saalt gives back 1% of rev...

Ready to try a menstrual disc but unsure where to start? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. Because everyone’s anatomy is unique, finding the right disc size is key to comfort and leak-free protection. So, why choose a menstrual disc ? Unlike tampons or cups, discs sit higher in the vaginal fornix, are suction-free, and can even be worn mess-free during sex. They offer up to 12 hours of protection, hold more than pads or tampons, and are reusable for up to 10 years—making them eco-friendly and cost-effective. Choosing the right size starts with knowing your cervix height: Low to mid cervix? Try the Saalt Small Disc (30 mL capacity). Mid to high cervix? The Saalt Regular Disc (50 mL) may fit best. Not sure or your height changes? The Saalt Disc Duo includes both sizes. Discs are ideal for heavy flow, clotting, or pelvic floor issues—and they can make period sex stress-free. If you’re new to discs, take the Saalt Fit Quiz to find your match. The best menstrual disc is the one that fits you...

Switching to reusable period products like leakproof underwear , menstrual cups , and menstrual discs can feel intimidating at first—but the maintenance is much simpler than it seems. These products offer major benefits: they reduce environmental waste, save money over time, and are often more comfortable and less irritating than disposables. Caring for reusable period underwear involves rinsing with cold water, optional soaking, then machine or hand washing with gentle detergent. Air drying is best, especially in sunlight, which naturally disinfects. Regular rotation and occasional deep cleaning help maintain performance. Menstrual cups and discs are emptied every 4–12 hours, rinsed with water (cold first to avoid stains), and deep cleaned after each cycle by boiling or steaming. They should be stored dry in a breathable pouch. Public restroom use is manageable with wipes or toilet paper. While there's a brief learning curve, most users find the process becomes second nature. Ma...

Menstrual products have evolved, and one of the latest innovations is the menstrual disc —a product that collects menstrual fluid instead of absorbing it. There are two types: disposable menstrual discs and reusable. While disposable discs may appear convenient, they fall short in several key areas compared to their reusable counterparts. Disposable Menstrual Discs: A Less Ideal Option The most significant drawback of disposable discs is their environmental impact. These single-use products contribute to plastic waste, ending up in landfills where they can take centuries to decompose. Additionally, disposable discs quickly become costly—repeated purchases add up far more than a one-time investment in a reusable disc. Many users also report discomfort, including difficulty inserting or removing them, which can lead to frustration and more waste. Real User Review for Disposable Discs: “I thought disposable discs would be more convenient, but they’ve really made me think twice about the ...

Switching to a reusable menstrual product is an exciting step, and menstrual discs can be a great choice! But how do you find the right size? Let’s simplify it. Why Menstrual Discs? Menstrual discs offer up to 12 hours of wear, hold more fluid than tampons, pads, and period cups, and don’t rely on suction, making them ideal for IUD users. They can last up to 10 years, have self-emptying capabilities, and allow for mess-free period sex. Cervix Height Matters Understanding your cervix height is key to finding the perfect fit. Since it can move throughout your cycle, measuring it during your period can help. A lower cervix may mean a smaller disc is better, while a higher cervix might call for a larger size. Learn: How to measure your cervix Small vs. Regular Small: Best for lower cervix, teens, light flow, or sensitivity to larger products. Regular: Great for higher cervix, heavier flow, or those who’ve given birth vaginally. Tips for Success Consider your flow, age, childbirth histor...
