Which Menstrual Cup or Disc Should I Use?
Answer a few questions to find out which menstrual cup or disc is most suitable for you!
The Saalt Disc is designed to be the most comfortable and easiest reusable disc to insert and remove. Because the Saalt Disc doesn’t rely on suction to seal and positions behind your pubic bone, it’s ideal for those with bladder sensitivities, a weak pelvic floor or a low or high cervix. Includes a custom finger notch that makes removal a breeze.
