I've been really pleased with the disc; I've had no leaks and it's easy to fold to insert and the notch makes removal simple. I can't feel it at all through the day.
After using the Saalt cup for years but finding the suction particularly uncomfortable after having my second baby, I finally took the leap and ordered this. My only regret is not ordering it sooner! It was so comfortable I forgot I had it in the first night! Simple to insert and remove (that little notch for removal is genius!) Fantastic product!
I was originally looking for a menstrual cup but was unsure of the correct size. I used the contact form to email. The disc was suggested to be better for me. I’ve just had my first period since purchasing the disc. The recommendation was perfect for me. I had zero leaks. Even through a Pilates workout. Emptying is a little messy but I’m sure with more practice that will get easier and failing that I’ll do that in the shower. Stayed in place all day without me having to worry about leaking or changing pads. Couldn’t feel it when it was in either. Thank you so much for taking the time to discuss my needs. I shall definitely return as a customer in the future and have personally recommended the disc to my female friends
Really comfortable and easy to use, big improvement on menstrual cups. Appreciate the little bag for the disc that’s included.
Couldn’t get it to work, followed all the instructions and videos but it has leaked everyday. I’ve used cups and never had a problem, went for this because I’m heavy and thought the extra capacity would be good. Shame because it looks nicer than a cup, and the bag is a nice touch as it’s not obviously period related.
There is always a reason why a menstrual disc (or cup) leaks. The most common cause is that it is placed incorrectly. The disc needs to be directly under the cervix and the rim needs to be fully expanded, otherwise it will definitely leak. Discs can also self-empty when you use the loo as your pelvic floor muscles press on it and tip it forwards, and lastly, which I think may be the case here - your disc will leak if it is too full. If you have a heavy flow you need to keep an eye on how your disc is filling up. This takes a bit of practice, as we are not used to measuring our flow in cupfulls! So, we need to learn how long our disc will last for each phase of our period. I hope this helps :) I am always here to offer advice, and Saalt also offer lots of useful YouTube videos covering every aspect of disc use.

love these, soo comfortable i dont feel them at all! and love the colour!
The pad is great — very comfortable, soft, easy to clean, and the size is just perfect. The material also feels really good. I love it!
These are absolutely fantastic and something I’ve been searching for for so long!
For starters, I am a chronic illness haver, and I have PCOS (now PMOS) and endometriosis, as you can imagine I have super specific needs. These are so light and breathable so they do not set off any allodynia or skin irritation, nor mess with my already broken temperature regulation.
Although it is suggested to get a size down especially for the bamboo, I decided to get my usual size (20), and I’m so glad I did. The band does not feel like it’s cutting me in half and they also do not fall down, and yet there is plenty room to accommodate for the massive bloating I get and for my various heat pads! If you prefer a tighter fit I can definitely see why sizing down is recommended.
To be able to choose from my own pad collection (which now also includes a mega pad from here which works perfectly fine with these shorts for me and makes me feel so secure) and stay comfortable and cosy is so important to me. I no longer have to suffer seams cutting in on my legs or uncomfortable bands when bloating. I even love wearing them when I’m not on my period, especially when it’s hot weather. Not to mention the absolutely wonderful customer service, so helpful and kind. I am overjoyed and can’t recommend them enough!
Great at removing chocolate from trousers, red wine from cream carpet, acrylic paint and sweat from white cotton school shirt... and of course blood.
Great pads. Well constructed, comfy, non-sweaty. Have worn HYF pads ever since I first got my period. Have even found that reusable pads help with cramping. (Once when I had to use a disposable one at work, the pain was so bad I got sent home!) The PUL feature is great as well. No more leaking straight through when sitting or standing in one position for ages. Well worth the buy. High recommend.
Very happy with these. Comfortable and efficient. And great to be savingso much from landfill.
Brilliant, small but mighty stain remover stick. Doesn’t peel my skin off my hands like other chemical ones do, and does great job.
10/10. I have noticed a difference in my hormones and even period pain since starting to use these organic cotton pads a year ago. The quality is exceptional and I am very grateful.
Lovely pads, very comfortable, gorgeous colour, fantastic value – and I couldn't even see the stitching that made them seconds! And of course made from organic cotton. On top of all this, kind, responsive and knowledgeable customer service. Everything to love!
I now have 3 pairs of size 10s in cotton ( I'm a size 10-12), 2 hipster pairs and one of the boyshorts. They are perfect; lovely cotton, well made, equally good with a pad/liner or not, no VPL and so comfortable.
I'd love to see some plain bright colours added to the range e.g red or jade green, and would definitely buy several more pairs if that happened. Highly recommended.
Well designed. Sits comfortably in underwear and comes in a cool selection of colours. Good for the end of the period cycle when flow is low.
Excellent service an quick delivery
Game changer
I'm glad I bought from the sporty range, my last cup was the classic and it was difficult to get the cup to unfold.This one is much better! Arrived quickly and good value as it lasts me a long time.
Great little carry pouch. Well made and discrete in my bag
