Hispanic Heritage Month is a special time for me as a Latin woman. It’s a moment to honor the rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and contributions that define me, my family, and Saalt’s genesis. For me, this month isn’t just about celebrating achievements; it’s also about reflecting on the journey of my family, and acknowledging the strength of my heritage.
At Saalt, we embrace this spirit of celebration by actively supporting causes that align with our values, especially those impacting women and girls. Our mission goes beyond providing innovative period products—we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of people everywhere.
Why Hispanic Heritage Month Matters to Me
As a Latin woman, I find deep significance in Latin Heritage Month. It’s an opportunity to highlight my shared history with others. Because my lineage is Argentine, and my husband’s is Venezuelan, we particularly enjoy celebrating the diverse heritage our children have, and reflect on the progress we’ve made through Saalt’s Impact donations. This month reminds me of the resilience and contributions of Latin individuals who have shaped our world, and it motivates me to continue advocating for positive change through Saalt and within our community.
Saalt’s Impact Efforts
Saalt is dedicated to addressing period poverty and enhancing menstrual health for girls and women globally. Our efforts include providing essential period care products such as reusable menstrual cups, menstrual discs, and leakproof panties. These products are not just about comfort and convenience—they are vital tools in breaking barriers to education and improving quality of life. Saalt was born out of our family's initiative to tackle period poverty within our extended family in Venezuela. Click here to learn more about the Saalt story.
Why Our Products Matter
Period cups, menstrual cups, and reusable menstrual discs are game-changers in managing menstrual health. For many girls and women, especially those in underserved communities, access to these products can transform their daily lives. A period cup or menstrual disc offers up to 12 hours of protection, while leakproof panties provide additional long-lasting security and comfort.
Period underwear, including our period panties and period pants, are designed to offer additional peace of mind. But how do period panties work? These innovative garments are crafted with absorbent materials that keep leaks at bay, ensuring that girls and women can go about their day confidently. Here at Saalt we confidently believe we make the best period underwear for women, and the best period panties for girls.
Supporting the Next Generation
Hispanic Heritage Month also reminds us of the importance of supporting the younger generation. Saalt’s commitment extends to providing reusable period products for girls like the Saalt Teen Brief, reusable period underwear, and the Saalt Teen Cup, a reusable menstrual cup. Both of these products were designed with youth and teens in mind, to ensure they have the tools to stay in school and pursue their dreams without interruption. By offering premium, reusable period products for young people, we aim to foster an environment where menstruation is no longer a barrier to education and personal achievement.
A Shared Mission
As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at Saalt, I am proud to be part of and lead a company that aligns with my values and works towards creating a world where every girl and woman can thrive. Whether it’s by providing a menstrual cup or period underwear or donating scholarships for education through Saalt’s Impact Program, Saalt’s initiatives are making a tangible impact. Together, we are helping to break the stigma around menstruation, support the well-being of countless individuals, and champion causes that matter to create lasting, positive change.
