Saalt Soft Menstrual Cup – Duo Pack

Size Guide:

The Saalt Cup is available in two sizes. Most women can successfully use both sizes of Saalt Cup, the small for lighter days and the regular for heavier days, but one size may be more comfortable and more suitable depending on your particular situation. For those under the age of 18, the Teen size Saalt may be more suitable.

Small: Suitable for women with a light to normal flow (2-3 tampons) and a low to moderate cervix height.

Regular: A high capacity cup that is suitable for women with a normal to heavy flow (3-4 tampons) and a moderate or high cervix height.

While your level of flow is an important indicator for the Saalt cup, please also consider:

● Petite physique: You may consider starting off with a Saalt Small
● Tampon size: If you have only ever used mini tampons, you may wish to consider the teen size Saalt
● Vaginal insertion: If you haven’t comfortably inserted anything in your vagina before, we recommend the size small
● Vaginal Birth: If you’ve given birth vaginally, you may prefer the Saalt Regular
● Physical Activity: Active users with strong pelvic floor muscles may prefer the Saalt Small.

Please check the position of your cervix (https://www.menstrualcupsaustraliaonline.com.au/how-to-check-the-position-of-your-cervix/) to ensure you select the correct Saalt Cup size. Because your cervix can change position during the month, it is best to check it at the beginning of your period.

How to use the Saalt Cup:

The first time you use your Saalt cup and at the end of each cycle, it is recommended to boil it for 4-5 minutes in order to properly sanitize it.

1. Check: Before inserting your Saalt cup, first check that the four air holes in the top rim of the cup are clear and free from any debris.
2. Prepare: Wash your hands and thoroughly rinse off any soap residue.
3. Fold: Decide on a fold. The most common folds for inserting a menstrual cup are the C-fold, Punch-down fold, and the 7-fold.
4. Insert: With your cup folded and held firmly just below the upper rim, slide it up and back at a 45 degree angle towards the tip of your tailbone. Your cup should be completely inside the vaginal canal but sitting lower than a tampon. Your cup is sitting in the right place when the rim is below or around your cervix.
5. Position: Release the cup. It should then pop open and create a seal. To ensure this seal has been created, rotate the cup by pinching the base (not just the stem) and turning it 360 degrees.
6. Secure: To make sure the cup is fully opened and secure, run a finger around the base of the body of the cup to ensure there are no folds. You can also double check the seal by gently tugging on the stem. If there is some resistance when you tug, you have a good seal.
7. Remove: Wash your hands thoroughly. Stand, sit, or squat. Use the stem to locate the base of the cup. With your thumb and index finger, pinch the base of the cup to break the seal. Wiggle the cup side to side as you gently pull it out. Empty the contents of the cup into a sink or toilet.
8. Rinse and Re-insert: Rinse your cup in cold water. You may also like to clean it with a menstrual cup cleanser. Your cup is then ready to re-insert.

How to Clean the Saalt Cup:

Wash: Rinse your Saalt cup in cold water to help prevent staining. Use a menstrual cup cleanser to clean the cup. Avoid any cleanser that may irritate your vagina or cause deterioration of your cup. Clear the four holes in the rim of the Saalt cup by running under water or gently poking with a toothpick.

Sanitize: Sterilise your cup between cycles by boiling in a pot of water for 4-5 minutes or by using a microwave menstrual cup steriliser. The cup storage bag can be cleaned by adding to your regular load of laundry.

Store: Allow your cup to air dry thoroughly and store in it’s bag (or other breathable container) until next needed.

Some discolouration may occur over time. This is normal. If your Saalt cup is broken or shows any sign of deterioration, it’s time to replace it.
