Menstrual Discs 101: A Refreshing Take on Period Care

Tired of the same old pads and tampons? Menstrual discs could be your next period game-changer.

How Starting from Scratch Led to the Smartest Underwear in Period Care

Image
By: Cherie Hoeger It all started with discomfort. Like many, I used pads and tampons, never realizing there were better options—until I discovered menstrual cups while searching for sustainable solutions for my family in Venezuela. One try, and I was hooked. Comfortable, odor-free, reusable for up to 10 years—it was a game-changer. But I still couldn’t find a cup I truly loved. So, after 14 design iterations, we created the Saalt Cup—simple, beginner-friendly, and now a best-seller on Amazon and in Target. Next came Saalt Wear. Disappointed with bulky, wet-feeling period underwear on the market, we set out to make something better. Starting from scratch (and a little “stupid”), we teamed up with experts—including an FBI blood-on-fabric specialist—to engineer a patented gusset that absorbs fast, stays dry, and feels like real underwear. We called our breakthrough “layer zero”—a top layer that wicks moisture away and feels dry to the touch. From patented tech to Parisian design, every ...

How to Prevent Spills when Removing your Menstrual Disc (or Mess-Free Menstrual Disc Removal Tips):

Image
Using a menstrual disc is a game-changer—hello, comfort, longer wear, and leak protection! But let’s be real: removing it can get messy. Here are some quick tips to keep it clean and stress-free. Wash Your Hands – Keep things hygienic before reaching in. Relax – Tense muscles make removal harder, so take a deep breath. Find Your Position – Sit on the toilet, squat in the shower, or prop a leg up. Hook and Pull – Use a finger to hook the notch or pinch the rim for control. Go Slow & Keep Level – Lean back slightly and pull steadily to avoid spills. Use Period Underwear for Back-up – Residual blood can lead to spotting, so wear a pair of leakproof panties for an extra layer of protection. Optimal Timing for Removal The best time to remove your menstrual disc is when it's not completely full, typically at 70-80% capacity. This gives you more control and reduces spillage risk. Early morning or before bed are ideal times when flow is typically lighter. Anatomical Considerations...

Does Your Cervix Height Change?

Image
The cervix, a crucial part of the female reproductive system, changes height based on various factors. Understanding these shifts can be helpful for tracking fertility or choosing the right menstrual products. What Affects Cervix Height? Menstrual Cycle : The cervix rises, softens, and opens during the fertile window, then lowers and firms up in non-fertile phases. Pregnancy : Increased estrogen causes the cervix to elevate to support pregnancy. Sexual Arousal : The cervix temporarily pulls up, lengthening the vagina. Hormonal Changes & Age : Menopause and hormonal fluctuations can impact cervix position and texture. Why It Matters Menstrual Products : Knowing your cervix height helps in selecting comfortable tampons, menstrual cups , or menstrual discs . Shop: Best menstrual cup Fertility Tracking : In natural family planning (NFP), a high, soft, and open cervix signals peak fertility. To check your cervix height, insert a clean finger and note its position and texture. Understand...

The Four Phases of Your Menstrual Cycle

Image
At Saalt, we talk a lot about periods—but did you know your body is always in a menstrual cycle, not just during your period?

Menstrual Phase (Your Period) This phase lasts 3-7 days, bringing symptoms like fatigue, cramping, mood swings, and bloating. Listen to your body—rest is key! Saalt’s menstrual cups and leakproof underwear provide 12-hour protection so you can go about your day worry-free. 2. Follicular Phase (Pre-Ovulation) Energy returns, mood stabilizes, and focus improves. Take advantage of this phase to be active, tackle new projects, and feel your best. 3.

Luteal Phase (Pre-Period) Lasting 11-18 days, this phase often brings PMS symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and acne. Slow down, practice sel...

Why Is My Period Cup Leaking

Image
So, you finally made the switch to a reusable menstrual cup (yay, go you!), but now you’re noticing some unexpected leaks. Annoying? Yes. Fixable? Absolutely. Here are four common reasons why your period cup may be leaking—and how to troubleshoot these issues. Your Cup Isn’t Fully Opened After inserting your cup, check to make sure it has fully opened. If it isn’t, try rotating, pumping the base of your cup, or try a different fold. Cup Placement If your cup is placed too high in the vaginal canal next to your cervix, blood will pass alongside it, leading to leaks. Unlike tampons, which sit higher, menstrual cups work best when placed lower in the vaginal canal. Your Cup Has Overfilled If you notice your cup is nearly full (¾ of the way or more) when you remove it, your flow might be heavier than your cup’s capacity allows. Consider sizing up to switching to a menstrual disc for higher capacity.   Wrong Cup Size A cup that’s too small may not create a strong enough seal, while a ...

Understanding Virginity: Does Using a Menstrual Disc or Cup Affect It?

Image
Discussions about reproductive health often bring up personal and cultural beliefs, including concerns about whether using inserted menstrual products impacts virginity. Let’s explore this with care and clarity. Understanding Virginity Virginity is commonly defined as not having engaged in sexual intercourse, but its meaning varies based on cultural, religious, and personal perspectives. It is not a medical condition but rather a social concept. Menstrual Discs and Cups Menstrual cups and menstrual discs are inserted into the vagina to collect or absorb menstrual fluid. These products are praised for their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits. However, their use sometimes raises questions regarding virginity. Learn: Is a disposable menstrual disc or reusable menstrual disc right for me?  The Hymen and Virginity Some believe virginity is linked to the hymen, a thin membrane partially covering the vaginal opening. However, the hymen can stretch or tear from ...

When is it Time to Replace My Menstrual Cup or Disc?

Image
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...

The Perfect Match: Menstrual Cups and Leakproof Period Underwear

Image
Sustainability is everywhere these days – from the food we eat to the clothes we wear, and even the products we use for personal care. One area often overlooked? Period products. Fortunately, that’s changing with reusable options like leakproof underwear and menstrual cups . These two products are a dynamic, eco-friendly duo that not only help the planet but also make your period easier to manage. Traditional period products, such as tampons and pads – even disposable menstrual discs –  contribute massively to waste, taking centuries to decompose and leaching harmful chemicals into the environment. Period panties and period cups, on the other hand, are reusable, reducing waste and saving money. Period underwear lasts for years, while a cup for period can last for a decade with proper care. Together, they provide complementary protection. The menstrual cup collects menstrual fluid internally, while leakproof underwear acts as an external backup, giving you extra security in case o...

Reasons To Switch To Period Underwear During Pregnancy

Yes, even though you’re not dealing with periods during pregnancy, Saalt’s period underwear can be a game-changer for many reasons.
