During your period, there’s nothing worse than missing out on sleep. However, it can be difficult to sleep well on your period.  Tampons have some big drawbacks when it comes to sleep. If you get a good night of sleep, you often wake up in a panic for fear of oversleeping the 8-hour wear time. That is if you’re not up every few hours dealing with leaks. If you use pads to avoid this, then you know the diaper-like feeling of overnight pads that get bunched up while you sleep. There has to be a better way, right?  It sounds like you’ve been dreaming of period cups and discs! A menstrual cup or menstrual disc can be worn for up to 12 hours, so you can hit snooze without worrying about running to the bathroom first thing in the morning. Because menstrual cups and menstrual discs can hold as much as multiple tampons, you can sleep tight knowing you’re safe from leaks. Want a little extra protection? Pair your period cup or disc with period underwear so even if your flow is heavy, your sl

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Western North Carolina is demonstrating remarkable resilience and solidarity. Many community members have mobilized to assist those in need, highlighting the importance of compassionate action and menstrual health. Saalt responded to this urgent need with a generous donation of 1,800 units of period underwear , emphasizing a commitment to dignity during challenging times. Access to menstrual hygiene products is vital, especially for individuals facing disruptions in their daily lives. Collaboration has been key in this initiative, with local relief organizations joining forces to deliver aid to isolated communities where access to essential supplies has been severely impacted.

Additionally, Operation Helo and Operation Airdrop provided 1,000 units, ensuring vital aerial support. As community members work together, their ef

Have you ever wondered if your period flow is heavy? It seems like what is considered heavy for one person can be completely normal to someone else. So what is considered a heavy period? Believe it or not, the average amount of blood lost during a period is between 2-3 tablespoons. However, menorrhagia, or heavy menstrual bleeding, is typically defined as more than 5 tablespoons of blood during menstruation. Menorrhagia affects 27-54% of menstruators, but just because it’s common doesn’t mean you need to accept heavy periods! If you have heavy periods, you may have to change pads and tampons frequently. Not only is this inconvenient, but the cost of buying products can add up. Because of this, you may benefit from switching to menstrual cups or menstrual discs . A menstrual cup can hold as much as 4 regular tampons and a menstrual disc can hold as much as 6 regular tampons, so you can go longer between changes. Additionally, they last up to 10 years, meaning you won’t have to buy tamp

If you’re experiencing pain during the removal of your period cup or menstrual disc , here are some potential causes and solutions. Incorrect Removal: Most cups create a seal with suction.
