Saalt Menstrual Cup - Himalayan Pink - Small

I wanted to like this so bad however the suction on it did not work as it was too big and it was my first time so I didn’t know any better. Started bleeding instantly after and had to take out. Then I panicked because I could not get it like at all. Since I couldn’t get it out, I panicked some more and then eventually 10 to 15 minutes later. I finally got it out suction on it is great however it just takes too much work to get out when it doesn’t fit properly. Trying to find out how to return or get my money back on this wasted products, sidenote, I usually use super tampons and have had two kids, and the regular did not work for me

I wanted to love this because other period products are annoying, but it didn’t meet my expectations. It doesn’t hold enough, but is comfortable and easy to remove. I tried it on my moderate flow days, and it lasted maybe 3 hours before leaking.

Will never go back to a cup again! Discs are the way to go. The suction on this is so uncomfortable for me and you can totally feel this the whole time. Uncomfortable and unpleasant

It came to my surprise that I didn’t like this, it’s not something I’d recommend. It spills and does not give me protection that I wanted

i don't think this design is for my body. the size is too large and it hurt going in and out and while wearing it. actually caused tears with how much it hurt. i use another brand now, will never buy saalt again.

I’m a first time cup user and this cup was so easy to use and the instructions were so clear and helpful. I also like how the way it’s packaged itself is kinda like a tutorial on how to fold it and remove it. The first time inserting it was a bit tricky but once you got it in it unfolded itself easily. I wore it all day for an 9 hour shift with no leaks and didn’t even know it was there! I only had one leak after wearing it overnight while my flow was at its heaviest and it overflowed and even then the leak was super tiny. This is a game changer for me because tampons make my cramps worse and I don’t like the mess of pads. Plus no more spending $20+ on pads and tampons every month! 10/10 would recommend for new cup users like me!

I admit that I experienced some discomfort and uncertainty during my first cycle. I don’t know if it was just in the back of my head that I knew this thing was up my who-ha or what. But by the second cycle I was a pro! I don’t have to worry about carrying other feminine products or running low or any of that. I CAN LIVE MY LIFE! I’ve given birth naturally to large babies (9lbs+) and the small size stays in place and is sufficient for my flow, which usually starts heavy and tapers to light. I remove and rinse in the shower in the morning and then again before bed. My ONLY qualm is that my stem just broke off. And I thought I could make it work, but after shoving as much of my hand as I could to retrieve it, I’ve opted to purchase a new one because I don’t have time to be fishing in my cooch, sweating bullets thinking I’m going to have to get outside help. In short, absolutely will give this another try. I’m already used to the benefits. Hoping that maybe they can work on making the stems a little sturdier and in the meantime I’ll work on my technique of pulling it out.

only been using for 3 days but i’m already obsessed. a million times better than pads + tampons, so much more comfortable and easy honestly! best decision i ever made

I bought this cup about a year ago. At the time I HATED it because I had a terribly hard time breaking the seal and couldn’t get it out, it hurt so bad. I gave it a few more tries and the time to change it never seemed worth it. This time my period came… I was out of tampons, didn’t have money to buy them, and I wasn’t getting paid for three more days. It was either using the cup or nothing at all, and I had work. I had a hard time with the first 3 removals and didn’t get it to seal on one of the insertions. But, I had no choice except to keep trying and I’m SO glad I did. I love this thing!! My cramps have been MUCH less painful and I’m so worry free! I can’t recommend these enough!

The pull tab to remove the cup is not good. It lacks ribbing and grip. I have used the diva cup for 6 years and just got this cup and regret it. The tab needs ribbing! There is zero grip for removing the cup to empty it. Very frustrating

I really had high high hopes for this because of the reviews but I think the downfall was a personal problem. I had no issue putting it in and getting it in the right position but the removal was really hard and painful for me. I really want to try again to reduce costs but I can’t experience that again it wasn’t as easy to remove as I thought/researched.

I started using a Diva cup back in 2019 and decided to try this cup this past year. I leak every single time and it’s a pain in the butt. Speaking of, every time I have to poop this thing comes out of me. Imagine my surprise when I have to catch a menstrual cup. I’m disappointed because I loved this design better than the diva cup but I’m sick of leaking on my period and being scared to poop

So I'm an xs to small in pretty much everything. I got the small one hoping it would be ok. Turns out of was more than ok. She's a great product. She sections very well. Too well. The first ten minutes of trying, i followed the instructions. I then panicked. I was trying everything. Clawing at the edges. Clawing at the inside of me. Nothing. Absolutely suctionec into place. I saw my life flash before my eyes. I thought I was going to have to ask my elderly mother to PRY this out of me. After about THIRTY MINUTES OF STRUGGLE I somehow managed to get one hand on the other side with other hand pulling on the bottom. I was free. I am free. I'm sure this work on other people... but please take so so much caution and make sure you have a very close friend

I am ordering the soft version of this cup. I definitely recommend getting soft and small if you have GI issues. I’ve used a few different ones, and soft silicone and small is the key. Unfortunately, I misplaced the soft when I moved. I have had bad cramping and bladder issues with the firmer. I used to prefer the firmer though. Oh well, everyone changes overtime.

So I have been using this for about a year now. I will say I do get less cramps with using this over tampons, and it has easy insertion and removal. Also minimal leakage (only happened once or twice for me). That being said, I don’t know if it’s a me problem (I’ve had a kid over two years ago and got size small), but I can barely pee with it in. It’s like it presses up against my urethra or something. I can also feel it inside of me and if you don’t cut off the stem, it’s going to poke the heck out of you. So at this point I only wear it at night and stick to tampons during the day. Currently trying out the flex disk (can pee and poop easily with it in) but I can feel it putting pressure on my public bone. As much as I dislike tampons, I might be sticking with them

This product is really firm and uncomfortable. I couldn’t fully empty my bladder with it in and actually ached for hours after removing it. It also leaked considerably, despite opening all the way while inserted. I tried the larger size as well with no luck. After over a year of use, I’m switching to a disc from a different brand.

AMAZING! This thing is life changing. I had tried a previous cup and had a hard time peeing with it in. Decided to try this one and I don’t regret my purchase. No issues. I use the 7 fold to insert. I read a tip in a review to bear down (like you are #2) and it makes it easier to remove. If you are on the fence about trying one of these, do it. I almost feel like I’m not on my period with this in.

not my first menstrual cup but I don’t remember them being so uncomfortable Boiled several times hoping it would soften up with no luck

I've been trying to use this for over a year now and it just leaks. I know people will say i use it wrong or it's the wrong size, but I really don't beleive any of that. The size is correct, and I've tried putting it in so many different times idk how it could still be wrong. It leaks every single time. I had my last straw today after using for over a year, because somehow it leaked thru my jeans even though I pair with period underwear. I'm just so upset. I wish I could find something that works for my body. Goodbye saalt cup :(

First time menstrual cup user and I’ll never look back. Knowing your anatomy and flow is key to finding the right product for you. Though I’ve had children I purchased the small size because I have a low cervix and light flow. It fits like a glove. The cup comes with a storage bag that allows for easy and protective storage as well as easy to take when traveling. I wash my storage bag in the washing machine towards the end of my period so it’s clean when I sanitize my cup after my period is finished. The cup itself is comfortable and reliable. It seemed a little scary as I had never used one before this one but after some helpful tips on the Saalt website and a few cycles it is easy to insert and remove. I like that the stem has notches so you can easily cut it shorter if needed. I recommend wearing it for one period as is to see if you notice the stem rubbing against anything. I also recommend trying several folds for insertion to see which one works best for you. Removal is simple and clean. You don’t pull on the stem to remove the cup but pinch the base of the cup to remove the suction and then pull. I’d also recommend for your period with the cup remove it every 8 hours throughout your entire period to get a gauge on your flow throughout your period. It can be kept in for up to 12 hours but it will leak if you purchased the wrong size or you’re allowing it to fill up. I won’t be using tampons or pads again.
