Sweat happens—whether from workouts, summer heat, or just existing. And let’s be real, “swamp crotch” is something we all deal with. I used to dread post-workout wet leggings, especially in winter, but Saalt Wear changed the game. Designed with a moisture-wicking top layer, Saalt Wear sweat proof underwear pulls sweat away from your skin, trapping it in an ultra-absorbent gusset with a leakproof barrier. Unlike cotton, it dries faster, keeping you comfortable and dry for hours. The Seamless Collection is my personal favorite—stretchy, panty-line-free, and perfect for intense workouts. I even tested it on Day 2 of my period at hot yoga (103-degree vinyasa, mind you) with just my Seamless Bikini. After class, I expected a mess—but nope, no leaks, no heaviness. Another time, mid-run, I felt the dreaded “gush.” Period? Discharge? Sweat? Who knows? I kept going, trusting my Saalt Wear period underwear to handle it. Spoiler: it did. If you're active or just sweat a lot, Saalt Wear lea...

  They like tampons, but better . Menstrual discs sit in the vaginal canal like tampons, but collect rather than absorb your flow. Discs can’t get lost! The vaginal canal is like a cul-de-sac, so a disc won’t disappear in there. They can be used during period sex. The low-profile design combines with where they sit in the vaginal canal allows for penetrative intercourse. They’re not all one-size. While many reusable and disposable menstrual discs are one-size, plenty of brands make multiple sizes, so you can find one that works for you. You can sleep with a disc inserted. Reusable menstrual discs can be worn for 12 hours, so you can sleep tight with one inserted. Pro-tip: pair your disc with period underwear for extra overnight protection. They can self-empty or auto-dump. It’s not as scary as it sounds. This can happen when using the restroom, which releases some of its contents, allowing for more capacity and longer wear time on heavy days. Discs hold more than tampons, pa...

If you’ve noticed your period cup or menstrual disc is looking a little discolored, don’t worry—this is completely normal. Over time, reusable period cups and discs can develop stains, but this doesn’t mean your cup is dirty or unsafe to use. It’s helpful to recognize that vaginal pH and blood varies from person to person, which may result in minor staining for some and potentially more for others. Here’s what you need to know about stains, how to remove them, and how to keep your cup looking fresh. How to Prevent Staining Rinse with cold water. Use a gentle, silicone-safe cleanser. Let your cup dry in sunlight.   How to Remove Stains from Your Period Cup Sunlight Exposure Hydrogen Peroxide Soak When to Replace Your Cup Staining alone doesn’t mean it’s time for a new cup. As long as your cup remains intact, odor-free, and flexible, it’s still safe to use. However, if you notice any of the following, it may be time to replace it: Sticky or tacky texture Tears or damage to the sili...

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...
