Saalt Soft Menstrual Cup - Super Soft and Flexible - Best Sensitive Cup - Wear for 12 Hours - Made in USA (Grey, Small)

This cup works for me, you need to know yourself as much as you can and understand cups a lot to get one that works really well. I have a high cervix and though this isn’t the longest cup I can reach it to remove in a certain position, which works for me. The stem is a soft kind, some review this as bad but it’s not bad for it’s intended purpose at all, it’s meant to be soft so you cannot feel it by your public bone or creating any friction, for this reason, if you need a firm large stem to grip and wiggle you will find it way too small and soft so this cup & saalt in general isn’t for you! It’s very bendy because the stem isn’t meant to be pulled straight down, you find it, pinch and slowly wiggle left then slowly wiggle right and repeat as you pinch further up the stem until you find the base, once there you reach in further to pinch the base and wait for the suction to release and then wiggle gently to remove the cup. It has 30ml capacity (I got the regular for high cervix) meaning I can have long gaps between changing on my heavy day, once sealed I don’t leak at all nor has it ever unsealed it’s self. I do lots of physical housework and exercise and yoga in my cup, I shower and bathe with it, bowel movements also don’t move it but this could be different for you. For reference I go 12 hours on a light day, and sleep between changes, and go 6-8 hours on a heavy day and sleep between changes (all white sheets but Im not afraid it’s genuinely never let me down once sealed) On the subject of me choosing the regular size, I don’t have a heavy period for more than one day, I’ve not had a baby, I’m 24, I have a high cervix. The small is only 5ml less capacity but the base of the cup sits higher in you so this is why the regular is recommended for higher cervix users. The cup is one of the better to insert as it’s soft and silky. Once in I wait for the pop (Proper seal created) instead of poking around up there, usually happens between 1m and 30m after insertion. Some people do reach up and try to make it happen but this is a softer cup meaning it may not instantly pop open and seal for you. But i find it’s fast enough with low effort from me to work well for me. This cup being soft is good for sensitive bladders or if you’ve had firmer before and felt it when you shouldn’t, mine figuratively disappears once the seal is made, I feel some fullness until it seals. The product itself is great quality silicone, cleans well and feels great, if cups were a thing to show off I would parade around with this grey beauty outside of my body rather than in it 😂. Packaging is all cardboard minus one disk of plastic which is easily removed for recycling.

This is my first menstrual cup, I was firmly a pad girl before because the tampons are just so uncomfortable. I find it is comfortable and though it can slide, it doesn't often, and I can wear it at night on my heaviest flows and not be worried about pooling. It is a flexible material and gets good suction when inserted properly. I'm gonna go into dirty detail so scroll away now if you're not interested. Before inserting, boil some water and stick it in there for 5 minutes to sterilise (and wash your hands while youre at it) unless you want nasty infections. Next, sit on the toilet, it's gonna get a bit messy. You need to fold the cup and kinda just shove it up there fingers and all until you can feel the cup unfold and hold on. You can take a finger and feel around the rim to make sure it is fully unfolded and settled. If you can pinch the bottom of the cup and it doesn't pop back out into its original shape it's not inserted correctly. Then have a quick wipe and wash your hands coz your fingers look like you just practiced magic from the dark hold. I can usually go from 8-12 hours before unclogging the drain and giving it a quick wash before reinserted. When taking it out. Sit on the toilet again. Shove your fingers up, find the tail, climb up until you can feel the bottom of the cup, pinch it and gently pull out, if you feel grip, it's still suctioned so pinch it a bit more until the seal is broken. It is a great sensation letting all of that blood out of you and you might as well call your toilet carrie cos it's covered in blood. This bad boy can hold a lot of blood so my fellow heavy flowers can rejoice. Make sure the cup is newly in before going to bed, the seal means that even if you overflow at night, it doesn't trickle out and onto your bedsheets. I've never had spotting in any underwear, it's been in for entire work days and not moved, it takes one or two goes the first time, but is easy to place when you've got the routine. One thing I noticed is that in the later stages when you're not bleeding so much anymore and its more spotty, you kinda loose the lubrication to get it in, so imo it gets a bit more uncomfortable. It's at this point i tend to switch to pads which then don't need changing as often until I finish up completely. So, overall, great when you're starting and in your flow stages. Easy insert and removal. Lasts a whole day, or at least a work shift. No worries at night. Bit uncomfortable towards the end of the period. Comes with a nice bag.

OMG it is amazing. This menstrual cup has changed my life. I was worried that the cup would be difficult to insert and remove but I could not be more wrong. I usually get bad cramps on the first 2 days of my period always have but when I used the cup they were gone I’m amazed!! The cups so comfortable can’t feel it at all don’t let the size intimidate you I forgot I was on my period so many times because it’s so comfortable. I could do my usual activities without having to worry about changing a pad or tampon being able to wear the cup for 12 hours is what appealed to me the most and the cup did not disappoint. On my heavier days I could wear it for 6 hours which is amazing compared to the multiple pad changes that would usually be in that time. If I bought a larger cup I could definitely wear it for the full 12 hours on a heavier day. But after the first few days I was able to wear it for the full 12 hours which felt amazing not having to worry about a smelly pad out in public or remembering to bring a pad. I did have a little leaking at the beginning but that was just some user error I wasn’t creating a proper seal I was able to create a good seal when I twisted the cup 360 degrees and I had no leaks after I started doing that. There is a learning curve that comes with the cup but don’t let it put you off. The main thing is to just relax if it doesn’t work the first time try again there’s numerous cup folds and positions for insertion. If you can’t figure out the cup the first time try it when your ready there’s no need to stress or feel bad if you can’t use it cups aren’t for everyone. Removal was very easy for me and I have a high cervix I had no issues reaching the cup at all. Removal can be a little messy and time consuming but it gets easier and quicker over time. I could not recommend a better cup for beginners overall the cup is easy to use and extremely comfortable.

This is the second cup I have tried (the first was a different brand) and it's pretty good, but personally I'm still not convinced by cups in general. Good points: easy to clean, good size, soft and did not cause me pain (the first cup I tried felt like it was causing me internal bruising after the first day!), good suction and did not leak, felt secure. Bad points: hard to remove using the stalk - I felt like it might break off if kept using it to pull the cup out, it came out easier by pinching the base and pulling out but this is quite hard to get in position to do, especially when wearing jeans! Even though it was reasonably comfortable I could still feel it and knew it was there, which I want keen on. Inserting is a bit of a faff, its especially hard to get it far enough inside. I also found it a pain to keep emptying it, rinsing it out, and reinserting, especially at work. Overall a nice product but I dont think it's for me, I will stick to pads.

I originally had the mooncup 2 which I absolutely loved, but I needed to replace it after having my baby. I tried 2 other brands, one which leaked no matter the position of it and one which was unbelievably uncomfortable and irritated my bladder to no end. I then tried a disc which was a massive waste of money. Then I came across the Saalt and saw the reviews, so I decided to give it a try and OMG I absolutely love it!! It is unbelievably comfortable and easy to position and I was able to do a high intensity workout without fear of leaking. I cannot recommend it enough! I'm so glad I took the chance on it.

This is my first cup, I want a good quality one and saw this one in some recommended lists. The packaging is a little more than it needs to be and the plastic window could be replaced to make the whole thing recyclable. However it is beautifully designed. If you sell it in blush pink I’m gonna buy it in blush pink. My first go at using was simple but I pushed straight up and not back to the tailbone so I could feel it a bit on my cervix (I think I have a slightly low down cervix anyway and naturally it drops during my period), I was worried it didn’t fit but after a while it settled into place and I couldn’t feel it anymore. Second time inserting went better, and I’m honestly so happy because my periods are a sensory nightmare and now I don’t feel like I’m even on my period. I haven’t had any leaking at all, the suction is good and I have slept without underwear with no problems. It says to check the air holes aren’t clogged between uses as this effects the suction. Just running under the tap cleared them for me. After a couple tries it isn’t any harder than a tampon to insert. I personally find it better to remove than a tampon because it doesn’t have that dry tug. DO NOT PULL THE STEM, it isn’t for pulling it out like a tampon, it is for guiding your fingers to the cup. I found it easiest to give the base of the cup a little squeeze and then it’s ribbed so you have some grip, but being relaxed is key, don’t tense up because it just makes it fiddlier. I like that the company help girls and women to have period care where they otherwise wouldn’t.

I used a different brand for a year and I hated it. It leaked a lot in the morning, was difficult to get out and it was stiff; so much so that I could notice it in certain positions. I couldn't go back to tampons just because there was so much waste so I just stuck with it. I thought there must be a better version and I bought this one based on the reviews, and it is worth switching to this brand! Ive had significantly less leaks and its easier to remove; I think this is because its really soft and responds more to my body and what it's doing, not the other way around. Been using it for a couple of months now and regret not changing brands sooner!

I never write reviews but felt compelled too after using this cup. I began using a menstrual cup last year in New Zealand where you could buy them in the supermarket. Despite trying 2 different sizes it always leaked and I had lots of trouble inserting as the material felt stiff. Periods had become a nightmare and I had begun to buy tampons again. I finally bit the bullet and decided to try a new brand. I was a little worried as I have recently had a coil fitted but I read the SAALT apparently sits lower in the cervix which can help. I can honestly say This cup is AMAZING! So soft and easy to insert and seems to pop straight into place. Not ONE leak which is such a relief. I did at times struggle to grasp the base to release the suction prior to removal but it’s not an issue with the cup and more just getting used to the technique. I’m really so happy I decided to give it another go!

My wife is very happy with this cup. First cup was too firm and small for her, it was leaking. This cup doesn't leak, it is not too soft and not too firm. She said, It opens easily inside, and she doesn't feel it during the day. However she said it is very hard do choose your individual size, so she recommends to watch instruction on You Tube before you make your choice, there is one channel that helped her a lot, and explained all the things she had questions about. They also offer there a quiz (test) at the end of the test you will get recommendations, which cup to choose. All in all - very nice softness, shape and handle.

Esta muy bien el tamaño y la flexibilidad, pero con solo un periodismo de uso, la tirita que cuelga está a punto de romperse

Questa è la seconda coppetta che provo, la prima che ho comprato (di un'altra marca) non mi si apriva probabilmente perché troppo duro il silicone di cui era fatta. Questa coppetta invece al primo utilizzo si è aperta immediatamente con mia grande gioia!! Ho fatto questa premessa per dire che dovete trovare la coppetta più adatta a voi, non fatevi scoraggiare se non trovate subito quella giusta. Il silicone della Saalt è molto morbido e confortevole ma assicura comunque un "sostegno"; facile da inserire e da piegare. L'unica piccola pecca è che il gambetto finale presenta una zigrinatura troppo fine e per questo può risultare difficile estrarla. La confezione è stupenda, all'interno è presente un sacchettino di cotone per riporre la coppetta, un adesivo e tre foglietti di spiegazione, ringraziamenti vari e sulla sostenibilità. La coppetta è la svolta nella vita, niente più sensazione di bagnato o spostamento dell'assorbente durante la notte, è una figata!

I must say menstrual cups are very personal, what works for others may not work for you. I too have been on an expensive journey of finding the right one, and Saalt soft works PERFECTLY for me. This doesnt cause pain, discomfort or any pressure on my bladder, once inside, i forget about it. Cup size is enough for my heavy days (8-10hrs and i am a heavy bleeder). I've tried Intimina lily compact (great for beginners but too small for my heavy flow - i find emptying my cup every 1-2 hours too much of a hassle, 4hrs on "light" days), Intimina lily cup (too long and was sticking out of my body - binned), divacup too stiff (cramps hours after inserting - binned), tampon tribe (absolutely the worst cup ever!!! it never ever opened up in my body and i ended up hurting myself trying to adjust it and trying to open it in my body, my worst nightmare - DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!) Cups do change life, i dont experience cramps anymore and days that i do, it goes away less than an hour after putting in my cup. I feel free and airy, i dont have to wear pads anymore, and i hate my cycles so much lesser now.

The worst experience ever, if I could give zero stars, I would of. It was quite expensive and never thought that thing would cause me a problem. Should of go to hospital to remove that, as I tried myself many hours and no success
