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, Grey)

Cannot feel it at all. Lots of positives
*this is a pretty long review and I have a lot to say. In sort, I really liked this cup. It’s perfect for younger people, does not leak, and is comfortable to wear when using the bathroom.*Originally, I first started with Diva Cups since it was sold at my local pharmacy. The diva cup was way too large, thick, long, and uncomfortable. I could feel it coming out throughout the day and would always leak. I assumed this was probably because the shape or size of this cup made it impossible for me to easily get it to suction, or the fact that I have a tilted cervix. I concluded that both of these things were probably at play and contributed to the Diva Cup being uncomfortable. So, I decided to try another cup. I wanted to try a shorter cup this time, and something softer since the Diva Cup was too hard. So, I opted to get the soft Saalt cup. I read the reviews and the cup looked very short so I was hopeful it would work. Keep in mind I am not old at all, and because of that I never had children.The cup arrived in a very cute packaging. I simply let it soak in boiling water for no more than 5 minutes and washed it out with scentless soap after wards. Then, I used it. It was very easy to insert since it was small. The diva cup hurt to put in and take out so the Saalt cup was an improvement. Once it was in, I pushed it far up and expected it to be noticeable when I stood up, but I truly could not feel it at all. However, the cup seemed to sit further up but not far enough for me to not be able to feel it. Throughout the day, I knew a cup was up there but I genuinely could not feel it. There was also no leaks. When I went to take it out at the end of the day, the cup was actually halfway full on one of my light days. I am pretty heavy so anyone with a normal flow should be able to use this cup for 12 hours no problem. It was a little hard taking it out and I was afraid it was tugging on my cervix because I couldn’t release the suction, but it only took me a few minutes to release the suction. I continued to use this product for a couple more days and it was perfect.Some positives is that I could keep the cup in me while using the bathroom (1&2). This wasn’t the case for the Diva Cup. Softer cups have a reputation for “falling out” while your using the bathroom but not this one. Overall, this cup is really good and I recommend it to people who are younger, have a shorter/curved cervix, have bladder problems when using a regular stiffness cup, can feel regular stiffness cups, and also those who want to just try a new cup. I would not recommend the softer version for new users mainly because it can be scary to take out and put in since it is so soft.

This changed my life.
Prepare yourself for a long, TMI review.Some background: When I got my period at the age of 12, I knew I had many long years of pain ahead of me. My cycle has always been extremely painful and affects my daily life. My blood flow is heavier than anyone else I know, my cramps are debilitating, I get hot flashes and headaches, back pain, mood swings, and messed up intestines. In short, my period is awful. My mother has always used pads, so that’s what she started me on when I got my first period. We soon realized mine was much heavier than hers, so I switched to Kotex maxi pads. From the ages of 13 to 19, that is what I used. But one wasn’t enough. I had to overlap two maxi pads in my underwear just to keep the blood from leaking out. I often wore spandex or tights as well as an extra layer of security to make sure the heavy blood flow didn’t escape. I had to go to the bathroom every half an hour or so just to clean up all the blood and adjust my very thick and uncomfortable (not to mention expensive) pads. I was constantly worried that I would leak onto my clothes (because that happened several times). At night, I had to lay a towel down on my bed and wake up at 2 or 3 am just to go to the bathroom to wipe away all the blood. For years, I dreaded my period every month because it was so much to handle. I tried tampons but after two or three negative experiences with them, I gave up. I figured I was simply doomed to be miserable for 5 days out of every month.About 5 months ago, I decided to cough up the money for a menstrual cup. I had an amazon gift card, so I didn’t feel like I would be wasting any money, and I was searching for a way to reduce my environmental impact and save some money. If it helped my period at all, it would be a bonus. And I am SO glad I did. As someone who has rarely ever used tampons, I was a little nervous to try this out. But I took an online quiz and it suggested the Saalt cup as a good option so I went for it. First, the packaging was discreet and adorable, and it came with a cute little bag for storage, which has come in handy. It also came with an instruction booklet about how to use the cup, insert it, and keep it clean. The first cycle I used it, it was a little tricky to insert (I eventually found that sitting on the toilet and using the c-fold work the best for me) but I could not have been happier once I became comfortable inserting and removing it. It is not uncomfortable in the least. In fact, the only time I really ever feel it is when it pops open inside. Sometimes, I completely forget I’m using it. I can wear it for up to seven or eight hours (it’s supposed to last twelve, but again, I have a lot heavier flow than most) which is a godsend. No blood! For eight hours! Sometimes I wear a panty liner with it if I’m having a really heavy day or doing a lot of moving around, but I’ve found that I don’t really need to most days. It hasn’t leaked a single time. Sleeping has become so much easier. No towel, no waking up in the middle of the night. I empty the cup before bed, and again in the morning. If you are grossed out by your blood or feel uncomfortable at the thought of getting a little messy while taking it out, this may not be the best choice for you. But I don’t really mind at all. It’s really easy to pinch and take out then rinse and reinsert. I left the little stem on at the bottom as it helps me adjust it, but it can be trimmed off as well. I have also found that boiling it after your cycle is an easy way to keep it clean. This cup reduces period odor considerably. No longer do I worry that other people will think I smell like a menstrual cycle. And the cup itself doesn’t hold much odor after use either. For the price, this is an incredible investment. It will last years and I no longer have to spend any money on disposable pads, which harm the environment. Because of the Saalt cup, I no longer dread my period. I have told all of my friends about this product and I think they’re getting tired of hearing about how amazing I think it is! I’ve never reviewed any Amazon purchase until now. I’m telling you, it’s that good. If you are considering giving a menstrual cup a try, go for it! It seriously changed my life.

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.

Nu baal ik ervan dat ik hem niet jaren geleden had gekocht. Het kost even wat maar dan hebje ook wat. Ik wil niet anders meer, minder gedoe en makkelijk schoon te maken. Mijn buikkrampen zijn niet meer zo heftig, je vergeet bijna dat je menstrueert tijdens het gebruik van de menstruatiecup.
