Saalt Menstrual Cup Soft

Why We Love the Saalt Menstrual Cup Soft

We like the Saalt Soft because it offers another option for people who find firmer menstrual cups uncomfortable. Its flexible silicone body provides a softer feel, which may be particularly appealing if you are sensitive to pressure around the bladder or vaginal walls.

We also like the straightforward design, with a traditional bell-shaped body, grip rings and a flexible stem to assist with removal. The choice between Small and Regular allows you to consider capacity and dimensions when finding a suitable fit.

The main trade-off is that softer cups can sometimes be more challenging to open fully once inserted. If you have previously struggled with cups that do not spring open easily, a firmer design may be worth considering.

• Ultra-soft silicone: Made from 100% medical-grade silicone for a flexible feel.
• Rounded, bell-shaped body: Designed to collect menstrual fluid internally.
• Two size options: Small holds 25 ml and Regular holds 30 ml, measured to the air holes.
• Flexible removal stem: Ribbed stem helps you locate the cup and can be trimmed if needed.
• Base grip rings: Help you grip the cup and release the seal before removal.
• Four air holes: Positioned near the rim to assist with releasing the seal.
• Reusable design: Suitable for daytime and overnight use within the recommended wear time.
• Made in the USA: BPA-free and latex-free.

This product may suit you if...

• You have experienced bladder pressure or discomfort with firmer menstrual cups.
• You prefer a soft, flexible cup.
• You want a traditional menstrual cup with a stem and grip rings rather than a ring-style removal aid.
• You have a light to moderate flow and the Small size suits your anatomy.
• You have a moderate to heavy flow and would prefer the additional capacity of the Regular.
• You are comfortable spending some time learning how to position a softer cup and check that it has opened fully.

Consider another option if...

• You find very soft cups difficult to open and prefer a firmer body with more spring.
• You have a particularly low cervix and need a shorter cup body.
• You have a high cervix or limited hand dexterity and would prefer a longer or more prominent removal aid.
• You prefer a narrower cup or a different shape.
• You need more than 30 ml of capacity.
• You have previously found that flexible cups collapse or move during wear.

Choosing a menstrual cup involves more than selecting a size based on flow. Consider your cervix height, available vaginal space, preferred diameter, capacity and how easily you can reach the cup for removal.

Both Saalt Soft sizes have a total length of 70 mm, but their body and stem lengths differ. This is important when assessing how much room you have and whether the cup's stem may need adjusting.

Small

The Small has a 47 mm cup body and a 23 mm stem, giving it a total length of 70 mm. With a capacity of 25 ml to the air holes, it may suit someone with a light to normal flow who prefers the smaller capacity option.

Saalt recommends the Small as an option for a lower cervix. However, consider your actual cervix height and available space when assessing whether its dimensions will work comfortably for you.

Regular

The Regular has a 52 mm cup body and an 18 mm stem, also giving it a total length of 70 mm. Its 30 ml capacity provides an additional 5 ml compared with the Small.

It may suit someone with a normal to heavy flow or who prefers the additional capacity. Saalt recommends the Regular for a higher cervix. Consider whether its longer cup body is comfortable for your anatomy and whether you can reach the base easily when removing it.

A note about the stem: Both sizes have the same overall length, but the cup bodies are different lengths. The stem can be trimmed gradually if it causes rubbing or discomfort. Trimming the stem will not shorten the cup body itself.

• One Saalt Soft Menstrual Cup in your selected size and colour.
• One carry bag for storage.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the cup.
2. Fold the cup using a C-fold, punch-down fold or another fold that feels comfortable.
3. Gently insert the folded cup into the vagina, angling it towards your tailbone.
4. Allow the cup to open and check around its body to make sure it has opened fully. Softer cups may need some gentle adjustment.
5. Wear for up to 12 hours, emptying sooner as needed according to your flow.
6. To remove, wash your hands, relax and use the stem to locate the cup.
7. Pinch the base to release the seal before gently easing the cup out. Do not pull it out by the stem alone.
8. Empty, rinse and reinsert as required.

Before first use and between menstrual cycles, Saalt recommends boiling the cup in water for 4–5 minutes. Do not exceed 7 minutes and avoid allowing the cup to rest directly against the bottom of the pot.

During your period:

• Empty and rinse the cup with clean water whenever needed.
• Wash with warm water and a mild, suitable cleanser.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove any cleanser residue.
• Keep all four air holes clear to help maintain the cup's ability to release its seal.

Allow the cup to dry thoroughly before storing it in its breathable carry bag. Avoid airtight storage, harsh cleaning products and prolonged exposure to unsuitable oils or chemicals.

Saalt menstrual cups can be reused for up to 10 years with proper care. Inspect your cup regularly and replace it if you notice tears, damage or deterioration of the silicone.

• Always read and follow the instructions supplied with your menstrual cup.
• Do not exceed the recommended 12-hour maximum wear time.
• Menstrual cups have been associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a rare but serious condition. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience possible symptoms.
• If you use an IUD or contraceptive ring, consult your healthcare professional before using a menstrual cup. Always release the cup's seal before removal.
• Do not use the cup for postnatal bleeding.
• Remove the cup before penetrative vaginal intercourse. It is not contraception and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
• Stop using the cup and seek medical advice if you experience ongoing pain, burning, irritation or difficulty urinating.
• Do not share your menstrual cup with another person.
