Menstrual cramps can derail your day, but simple, natural drinks offer gentle relief by reducing inflammation, relaxing uterine muscles, and easing pain without harsh meds. Backed by studies, these beverages target prostaglandins—the chemicals behind cramping—while boosting hydration and comfort. Start with hydration as your base: Aim for 8-10 cups of water daily to flush toxins and reduce bloating. Infuse with lemon or mint for added anti-inflammatory perks. Ginger elixir shines for its antispasmodic power—steep 1-2 inches of fresh ginger in hot water for 7-10 minutes, add honey and lemon, and sip 2-3 cups during peak cramps. It rivals NSAIDs in effectiveness, per research. Chamomile tea calms with apigenin, soothing spasms and aiding sleep—brew 2 teaspoons for 5-7 minutes, drink 1-3 cups pre-period. Peppermint's menthol relaxes muscles; steep strong for 7-10 minutes, enjoy warm 2-3 times daily. Turmeric golden milk fights inflammation via curcumin: Warm 1 cup milk with 1/2 tsp tu...

Period panties are a sustainable, reliable option for managing your menstrual cycle or light bladder leaks—but how long do they really last? With proper care, high-quality brands like Saalt can last anywhere from 6 months to 2–3 years, or about 50–75 washes. The key to longevity lies in how often you wear them and how well you care for them. To extend their lifespan, rinse your period underwear in cold water after use, wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and air dry. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat, which can break down the absorbent layers. Rotating between multiple pairs throughout your cycle helps minimize wear and tear. Watch for signs they need replacing: leaks, lingering odors after washing, thinning fabric, or loss of fit and elasticity. If your leakproof period pants feel less absorbent or start to sag, it’s likely time for a new pair. Saalt leakproof panties are crafted to be safe (PFA-free), eco-friendly, and comfortable—backed by a mission to support global p...

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...

Getting used to a reusable period product like a menstrual cup or disc can feel overwhelming at first. It might even take you back to those early days of your first period — when everything felt unfamiliar, and you weren’t quite sure what to do. But just like then, with a little patience and practice, it becomes second nature. Here’s what you can expect as you adjust to using your period cup or reusable menstrual disc , along with tips to help you feel more confident and comfortable. Learning Your Body: Building Comfort and Confidence One of the biggest adjustments with using a menstrual cup or disc is becoming more familiar with your anatomy. Unlike pads or tampons, which you can place without much thought, menstrual cups and menstrual discs require a little hands-on approach. The more comfortable you are with your cervix and vaginal canal, the easier placement will be. Insertion & Removal Take Practice Both cups and discs should be inserted at an angle downwards and towards you...

Period cups and discs are becoming popular as eco-friendly, sustainable alternatives to pads and tampons. But if you’re thinking about making the switch, you may wonder: do they hurt? Learn: Menstrual Disc vs Menstrual Cup What Are Period Cups and Discs? Menstrual cups are small, flexible bell-shaped devices made of medical-grade silicone. They sit inside the vagina to collect menstrual fluid, staying in place with gentle suction. You can wear them for up to 12 hours before needing to empty, clean, and reinsert. Menstrual discs are similar but sit higher in the vaginal canal, encircling the cervix. They don’t rely on suction and provide a snug fit by resting behind the pubic bone. Learn: Is a disposable menstrual disc or reusable disc better for me? Do They Hurt? Most of the time, no—they shouldn’t cause pain if inserted properly. It may take some trial and error to get the placement right, but discomfort isn’t normal. If you feel pressure or cramping, it likely means the product ne...

Both menstrual cups and menstrual discs collect period flow for up to 12 hours. Cups, like the Saalt Cup, are always reusable, while discs, like the Saalt Disc, come in both reusable and disposable options. Placement & Fit Menstrual cups create a light suction seal and sit in the vaginal canal, similar to a tampon. Discs rest higher in the vaginal fornix, secured behind the pubic bone without suction. Discs can also be worn during penetrative period sex for a mess-free experience. Capacity & Materials Cups hold 2-4 tampons worth of fluid, while discs can hold 3-6 tampons worth. Both are made from medical-grade silicone and, when properly cared for, last up to 10 years. Insertion & Removal Cups are folded before insertion, while discs are pinched into a figure-8 shape. Both should be inserted toward the tailbone. To remove, cups require breaking the suction seal, while discs are pulled from behind the pubic bone. Care & Cleaning Reusable cups and discs should be rins...

If you’ve heard the term autodumping (or self-emptying) when talking about menstrual discs , you might be wondering what it means. Simply put, self-emptying happens when a menstrual disc partially empties itself while using the bathroom. Unlike menstrual cups , discs sit in the vaginal fornix without suction, allowing them to shift slightly when you relax your muscles to use the restroom. This movement can release some fluid into the toilet, a natural and often helpful feature that can extend wear time without needing to remove the disc. Not everyone experiences auto-dumping. Factors like pelvic floor strength, disc design, and disc sizing can affect whether it happens. Some discs stay firmly in place, while others shift more easily. Is it normal? Absolutely! Autodumping doesn’t mean your disc is leaking, it’s just adjusting with your body’s movements. Many users appreciate it as a way to avoid overflow on heavier days. As long as your disc only self-empties when using the restroom,...

Menstrual cups and menstrual discs can last anywhere from 1 to 10 years, depending on the brand, material, and how well you care for them. But how do you know when it’s time to replace yours? Signs It’s Time for a Replacement Cracks or Stickiness : If the material of your period cup or menstrual disc feels tacky, splits, or cracks appear, it’s time for a replacement. Persistent Odor : A lingering smell even after cleaning may indicate bacterial buildup. Severe Staining : Some discoloration is normal, but excessive staining can signal material degradation. Loss of Flexibility : If your cup or disc feels too stiff or too soft, it may not seal properly, leading to leaks. How to Extend Its Life Wash with mild, oil-free, unscented soap. Store in a breathable pouch, not an airtight container. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, vinegar, and detergents. With proper care, your menstrual cup or disc can be a reliable, long-term period solution. Pay attention to signs of wear to ensure it re...

Every year, over 12 billion pads and 7 billion tampons are discarded in the U.S., creating a massive environmental challenge. Made with non-biodegradable materials like plastic, these products can take 500-800 years to break down, making them a significant contributor to landfill waste. Luckily, sustainable options like menstrual cups , menstrual discs , and period underwear are changing the game. These reusable products not only reduce waste but can also save you money. A period cup replaces up to 4 tampons or 3 pads a day. A menstrual disc holds as much as 6 tampons or 4 pads. Both cups and discs last up to 10 years and can be worn for 12 hours. Leakproof panties can absorb as much as 8 tampons or 6 pads and are washable for years of use. By switching to these eco-friendly alternatives, you can help divert billions of disposables from landfills and save some serious cash. Small changes add up. Choosing sustainable period products is a simple way to make a big impact for the planet,...
