Saalt Soft Menstrual Cup – Reusable Period Cup – Made for Comfortable, Leak-Free Protection Up to 12 Hours – BPA & Latex Free – Includes Cup & Carry Bag (Regular, Desert Blush)

I love this menstrual cup because is sturdy but also soft enough I don't feel bladder pain and very easy to pull out but comfortable at the same time.

So I rarely ever actually write reviews like a product has to be top notch for me to be able to. Well this is it. I received my cup and followed the instructions. I feel like it is weird to insert (like everything is at first) but once you get the hang of it, its easy peasy. I was a little scared because of how far it seemed to go up but it doesn’t go as far as tampons and because it is bigger than your cervix it cant “get stuck”. It is a little difficult to remove, HOWEVER I found it A LOT easier to remove and grab the base of it if you act like your pushing to have a bowel movement (it pushes it down your vaginal wall) to make it easier to grab. After learning this I have no issue removing it. During the first couple times it “suctions” to the base of your cervix so it wont leak it does feel like an odd pressure but it didnt hurt. It is also COMFORTABLE you dont feel it like you sometimes do a tampon. Also it eliminates A LOT if not all of the iron/blood smell you get during your cycle. So you don’t have to think that someone smells it (if you’re like me and OCD about the fact you always have to smell good) it removes that odor. Like anything else it takes time getting used to. HONESTLY a game changer. So much I ordered a second one one for home and one for work ( I work 12 hour shifts so sometimes if I start my cycle I’m screwed) so I ordered one to have at home and one to keep in my bag for work. I will never go back to pads or tampons ever again. I highly recommend this product to anyone Thats considering it. Just like with everything else do your research before you try. I have an allergy to latex so I have to watch what I use and these are latex free!!

GO BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!! I can’t stress this enough. Everyone who’s saying it’s good, isn’t lying one bit. This is my second time buying a cup and originally I used the DIVA cup but Saalt is the best! It’s super soft, comfortable and holds heavy flows with no leakage or issues whatsoever!! With the DIVA cup I couldn’t even last a full day at work without having issues but with Saalt, no matter if I’m at work or doing something else, I don’t have to worry about it ruining my day. So go buy it and rest assured this is one of the best cups in the market to have. It’s made my periods pain, and worry free.

My background info: 30yo, 2 kids (1 full term, both c-sections), ~50lb overweight, average cervix height, weaker pelvic floor, sensitive bladder, medium to heavy flow, switching to cups from pads. Initial impression: Insertion and removal takes some contortion if you're not used to it and I did not know if it was in correctly. Thankfully, the cup did magically pop open in the correct spot and seal effectively. I wore it all day and it didn't need adjustment even when climbing through a kids' play structure after my toddlers. I didn't even know I was bleeding let alone how much until I emptied the cup that evening. No leaks so far. No bladder or bowel obstruction although after the latter I felt the need to readjust and it's hard to tell if that was effective. It does lose some points for comfort because it's intensifying my cramps -- from nonexistent to mild on a normal cycle to mild to moderate and constant. Removal is tricky (though keep in mind I'm inexperienced and have nothing to compare to). I'm happy I went for the larger cup despite how small I tend to be in that area because it's difficult to pinch the cup well enough to remove and keep it roughly vertical. I do need to bear down or I won't be able to grip more than the stem, but with that it's fairly easy. The stem is a good length for me as-is. I did not go as far as to only insert and remove in the shower as is often recommended for new users and I haven't had major clean up issues yet, so that isn't strictly necessary. So far, the capacity is more than sufficient even 12hr from evening to next morning. Today will be the true test of that. Will update over the course of my first few cycles with it.

I'm 34, 5'2", had one child vaginally. I used a Diva Cup Model 2 for years. It worked, however sometimes it was uncomfortable, mostly that it would rub my lower/outer stuff (despite the stem being completely trimmed off). Sometimes I would have internal pain that I sorta felt in my butt area while it was in. Doing a slight adjustment was usually all it took to correct that discomfort, but nevertheless, annoying. Also, I would often wear micropads while wearing that cup because it would usually leak. Eventually becoming fed up with how this cup was functioning, and finally finding the time to investigate, I was able to study some other brands and figure out what I would try based on my needs. In this case, I was looking for a cup that was softer material (to help with the internal discomfort) and one that was shorter (to hopefully resolve the rubbing on my outer/lower parts!). After investigating different options, watching videos and reading reviews- I switched from the DIVA CUP MODEL 2 for a SAALT SIZE:REGULAR and wow! Why didn't I do that a lot sooner? Any issues I had before with the Diva Cup have been resolved with this Saalt cup. It is very comfortable, soft, and forms well to your body. I don't notice it at all, ever. I did trim the stem off for personal preference, as I don't use it. (if you have experience with cups, pulling the stem is futile, you must pinch the bottom of the cup to break the seal it has to your inside wall). There are no leaks, I don't even need my little micropads anymore!! I highly suggest using this cup!! I'm very happy with mine!!

This thing got stuck inside of me. It needs a longer end to pull. I couldn't get my finger to unseal it or pull it out. I don't know if it's because my cervix sits too far up there or what, but this will be the last time I ever use one of these stupid cups.

Easy to use and works great! Wish I made the switch sooner.

Couldn’t Get It Out!!! I thought I’d finally found my cup. They seem to be either too small, too big or too hard, which led me to the Saalt Soft Cup. It was great all day. I literally didn’t feel a thing all day. I loved it until I got home and wanted it out. Hours later, I was still trying and husband ultimately had to help me with its final removal. Days later, I’m still sore from the trauma of the many attempts to break the seal. I think I either pushed it too far back in the canal or it is just too small or too soft for me. It may have moved during the day? Either way, my fingers could barely reach the groves and I couldn’t get enough of it to squeeze and break the seal. Visions of an embarrassing trip to the ER kept playing in my head! Fortunately, husband’s fingers are longer than mine! I won’t be trying again. More money down the drain. I am very disappointed since it was so comfortable. Not sure what I’ll try next. Maybe just stick to tampons for a while. 3 stars for the comfort and others may find removal easier than I did. But due to the panic caused I think I’m being very generous with the stars.
