Hi, this is Kim from Put A Cup In It.
I'm also here with Amanda from Put A Cup In It.
Yes please.
And, we're both gonna be sharing our thoughts
on the Saalt Menstrual Cup.
* rock music *
The reason it took us so long, I have no idea.
It's just, we have a long wait in our vaginas,
and we're juggling a lot of cups in and out of cycles.
So, we try to get them out as we can.
On that note, let's look at the Saalt cup.
The Saalt is a brand that comes in
that traditional one, two, small, large, A, B model.
They actually call their smallest cup a small.
And, they call their largest cup a regular.
And, the reason they do that is because none of us
really like to think of our vaginas as large.
God forbid, extra large.
So, they were kind enough to call the size two vaginas,
or the larger vaginas, a regular.
The Saalt cup comes in two sizes.
And, one of the things that we love about brands
that do their sizing this way, is that there's
a pretty good difference both in length, and in diameter.
Some brands don't have a lot of difference,
or basically none at all, between their sizes.
Which makes it really confusing as to which one to choose,
and why they even bother with two sizes at all.
So, we really love brands that make their sizing
distinctive enough that it really makes a difference.
It helps people easily choose what they need.
And, I also think sizewise, if you're a teen
or someone, a younger person, if you look at this,
it does not scream that it's huge to me.
I really like the size.
Capacitywise, the Saalt regular,
which is their larger, holds 30 milliliters.
And, that's actually to the holes.
When Amanda measured this, it was 20 milliliters.
It's a smaller cup, it's gonna have a smaller capacity.
It's just what it is.
Kim and I like to say that we're cervix twins
because usually cups that are a good length for her
are also a good length for me.
And, Saalt is one of those cups.
The Saalt cup is great for anyone with an average cervix,
or one that is a little bit above average,
or a little bit below average.
It's a good length.
If your cervix goes a little bit higher,
it's got a stem so you can easily reach it,
and good grips so that you can help coax it down.
And, if your cervix sits a little lower on some days,
like mine does, it still has a good length
so that it's not too long.
Because our cervix moves higher and lower
during our cycle, you might find that on some days
your cervix dips a little bit into the cup.
This is perfectly fine, it might take up
a little bit of the room for menstrual flow,
but most people aren't filling this to the tippy top
anyway, so it's really not a big deal.
Saalt is one of the brands
that we actually added to our quiz.
And, after testing it for a very long time
we felt really comfortable adding it
because it's a really good, new, average,
every way around kind of cup with a little bit
towards the firmer average.
Just, it's such a nice, all around, easygoing cup.
It's hard to actually say a lot about this cup
because, you know, there's nothing extreme about it.
The Saalt is a great middle of the road cup,
which is what makes it work so well for so many people.
There's nothing very extreme about it.

Either in the diameter, length, capacity, or the firmness.
It, you know, they've really nailed
a nice, gentle shape, with a tapered end,
where it's not too pointy when you cut off the stem,
that it should bother you if it
goes a little sideways here or there.
It has nice little grip rings on the bottom,
so you can remove the stem and be comfortable.
I do trim my stem, that really isn't a length thing,
so much as a comfort thing.
I don't like the feeling of a stem, at all.
So, I just cut those right off.
One of the things that I learned was,
you know, they point out to people it has
two points of contact where it has this
softly protruding rim and it kind of comes out again here.
So, you have these two points of contact
within the vaginal wall, which can help
with getting a nice seal, and also keeping it in place.
So, I thought that was a really nice design feature.
One of the things that Kim and I love about Saalt
is the branding and packaging.
While it doesn't impact your vagina directly,
it always feels nice to have something
that looks like thought went into it,
and that feels a bit like a gift.
When you open up the packaging,
the Saalt cup is nestled neatly inside.
This is all paper by the way,
fully recyclable, which we love.
You remove the top portion, inside are instructions,
and some information about the brand,
and menstrual cups, and their pouches.
If you're picky about the bags,
and you want something really pretty,
these are actually very nice bags.
They would be completely unassuming in your purse,
or in your cosmetic bag when you're going out of town.
Not that we really care, we made bags that say
pussy plug on them, so we're not really hiding our cups.
But, if you wanna be discreet.
This particular model is the one that includes both sizes,
so both of them are nestled in here.

I love, I love their firmness.
It's like, it's a pretty, pretty spot on for what I prefer.
And, just laying it out experiencewise,
this has been a really easy cup for me.
It's very close to one of my Goldilocks
that I would say, which is Lunette.
It's pretty similar to that.
And, I actually rotate between a few cups.
One of which is extremely soft,
and so when I first I got the Saalt cup,
I could tell I liked the shape of the cup,
and the size of the cup.
But, I wasn't sure about the firmness.
But, because of the way the rim and the body are shaped,
it fits very nicely, and comfortably.
I'm actually wearing mine right now.
And, I cannot tell a difference between
it and my softer cup.
The biggest difference was that this one
is extremely easy to get open.
I don't have to fidget with it.
I did a C-fold, inserted, it opened right away.
The one thing I'll say for Saalt,
and there are actually quite a few brands
I'm really fond of just in terms of the way they operate,
and the way they interact with their customers.
I do think that they're a great brand
if you're in between some of the results
that you might get on our quiz,
because they have phenomenal customer service.
You can reach out to them if you need any help.
For Put A Cup In It we get contacts all the time,
emails about help with the cup,
and while we normally try to answer as many as we can,
we point people to our group.
But, if you buy a branded cup, and you work with them,
you'll actually be able to reach someone directly,
and get that one on one personal help,
which those five dollar brand eBay cups or whatever,
you're not gonna get that same experience.
So, it's a great cup for that reason as well.
You have a lot of piece of mind when you buy it.
We actually do have a coupon for Saalt,
which we can link in our video description.
And, they've been kind enough to share that with us.
So, that you watching this, or anyone who
finds Saalt through our resources,
can save a little money, which is great.
Thank you so much for watching.

Put 'em all back in their cute fricking packaging.
I love these things.
It's fricking adorable.
I really need to stop this video.
So, um, uh, * laughing *
