CUPS are all
a little different

ver things around and this is so much easier to use than the cups, which rely on suction to stay in place. I also love that this disc doesn’t have any sort of pull tab or string as I have found that putting it in place means I kind of slide it along itself instead of just shoving the whole thing in as one piece. It does fit fairly far inside seeing as how you have to tuck it up behind the pubic bone but I also have had the experience that if I bear down when I’m taking a toilet break, it kind of empties (without becoming dislodged) into the toilet and then when I stand up it repositions and I don’t have to take the whole thing out until I’m home at the end of the day. When I do take it out I have to hook my finger up and over the ridge which is a little bit of a twisty arm thing and can be messy but as long as I’m near a sink it’s ok.

back to pads.. Menstrual cups are a game changer.. very comfortable to wear (takes a few days to getting used to it). it is economical for the pocket, great for the planet. win – win situation..

for low cervixes. I’ve worked 10 hour shifts and forgotten about it, swam in it, done body step classes and much more. It’s easy to remove and clean over the toilet or in the shower. Very impressed. Wish they existed 25 years ago when I started getting periods!

so I was nervous about how I would go using a cup. I loved it. It was the first time in my life I have ever been able to not worry about my period; No needing to rush to the toilet to make sure I didn’t start bleeding through my pad, no uncomfortable rush of blood when I stood up and overall I felt like I spent less time dealing with my period using the cup than when I used pads. It was super easy to get into place and even though it was my first time using a cup I didn’t have any leaks or mishaps while using it and it was super comfortable, I honestly didn’t even notice it.

a few different sizes and I liked the environmental impact and less smell, but I could always feel it and it would always leak, especially on the heavy days. Eventually when I realised it caused some irritation, I went back to tampons. I did some research and tried out this disc and after my first cycle, I’m so impressed! It was easy to insert and I couldn’t feel it at all. Being intimate worked and best of all it didn’t leak on my heavy day. I need to practice removing it as that was quite messy. The finger grip didn’t help to get it out, I needed to get a finger over the top and pull it and it was quite messy. That’s why I’ve rated 4 and not the full 5. It did get easier, I’m hoping there is a knack to it that I’ll get used to. I think that using a cup first helped me be comfortable getting right in there, now the disc seems like a game changer and I’m so happy it seems like I won’t have to go back to disposable sanitary items and there will be no leaks (or at least way less). I hope my next cycle with the disc while I’m travelling is just as easy.

cup and breaking the suction. I also find the stalk a little uncomfortable and the rim presses on my urethra at times. I’ve tried the disc and loved it! It was so easy to insert and retrieve, no leaks, and very comfortable. The rings are easy to tuck away and I can truly forget I’m wearing it. I’m converted!

(and the back up pad I was using too (at the same time 🙄)) sometimes within 15-30 minutes. This would happen to me for up to 48 hours per cycle. At least once per cycle I was waking up with, well, different coloured sheets than I’d gone to sleep on! Really, it was a constant worry for me and so expensive trying to manage that! I had heard about cups, but not discs and I was actually intimidated by (even the thought of) them. Sometimes it’s hard to make a change when we’re used to the same products for so long. But, wow. REALLY, WOW. Wow. And wow. I’ve been using for 2 months now and I would never go back to tampons. The difference is night and day! I still use a back up pad, but I was inspired to switch to washable pads too. No more landfill now that I trust the alternatives. It feels really good to know that I’ve found a life changing product and that I’m helping our beautiful earth with less waste also! In the beginning, I found it a little tricky to fit it correctly and had to try (and try and try again), but the moment I got it into the exact right place I could tell instantly. You can feel when it positions correctly due to the finger-indentation on the rim. The first time I used it, I did a trial run before my cycle (to get used to it) and I could not get it out! Panic, I surely did. My body just wouldn’t let it out! But, I found that slowly breathing out and relaxing was the key to success. If you are considering trying the Saalt disc, please don’t hesitate. Especially if you are a VERY heavy bleeder (such as myself). It will change your life and your confidence regarding your cycle.
