MalaysiaI have a traumatic experience with a random brand of menstrual cup which was actually quite hard. It took me about 20 minutes just to get him (yes I refer to my uterus/menstrual products as 'him' :> ) out. The Saalt cup is so much softer and even more comfortable to wear compared to my previous one. In terms of taking the cup out, once I managed to get a grip of the base, it was very easy to come out. Gripping the base with the Saalt cup is a lot easier! Although I guess it takes some practice to get used to finding the grip (it didn't help that my cervix is quite high and I wore it to sleep the first time). Anyway, best cup and worth the investment!
MalaysiaIt was a pleasant experience. It was much easier to remove than other firmer cups. I'm sooo happy I did my research and bought this one. I think it's perfect for a first timer. Super easy to insert as well, no issues with the cup not opening the whole way. I love that I have 2 sizes to switch between on my lighter days and heavier days.
SingaporeFirst of all, the PACKAGING! It brought me a lot of joy to unbox because of how cute the packaging was, and because of the many little well-designed pamphlets, pouches etc. I admit it was a little intimidating initially when I saw the menstrual cups. Since I’m a virgin and I’ve been living my life using pads, I was pretty afraid of stuffing a whopping cup in me. Since I wasn’t used to it, the first few times using the cup was pretty messy and frustrating (and tbh slightly painful because I didn’t know what I was doing). I was spending more than 10min in the bathroom just trying to insert it and take it out, and I kept thinking things like “should I just go back to using a pad??? I won’t have to go through this trouble every time I get my period...” But I stuck with it, and by my 2nd cycle, I got so used to inserting and removing the cup that it took me only a minute doing so! I’m never going back to using a pad again! So yes, the learning curve is pretty steep, but stick with it and you won’t regret it! Some tips I have is that when removing the cup, clench your abdominal muscles like you would when you’re pooping. Do it a few times, and the bottom of the cup will be exposed for you to pinch easily :)) All the best!!
Malaysialoving the saalt cup so far, i’ve used it for 2 cycles already. I have previously given birth and the S went a little too deep that I feel like it was too small so the regular size was perfect for me.
SingaporeI've been using the Lunette 1 prior to this for 5 years now, and after convincing a friend to try converting to cups, she asked if I wanted to share this Saalt soft set (I took the smaller one as I have a light flow). The length, shape, and size are about the same as the Lunette 1 but it's softer hence it didn't open as easily as the Lunette 1. However, I got used to it and after 1 cycle, I'm pleased to report that it opens as quickly for me now, the trick is to not have such a tight fold when using the punch down method, if not I sometimes use the half diamond fold. Bonus is the colours of the Saalt cups are so pretty!!!
