Saalt Reusable Period Care Products for Athletes

As people around the world tune in to watch the Olympics, athletes everywhere are preparing to “go for the gold”! But what happens when your period coincides with your peak performance? No worries—Saalt has you covered. Here’s a guide to the best reusable period care products that will keep you focused on your sport, not your flow.

1. Menstrual Cup: Your Ultimate Teammate

Why Menstrual Cups? Menstrual cups are reliable, versatile, and designed to support you through every move, juke, hop, sprint, or jump. Made from medical-grade silicone, these cups provide up to 12 hours of leak-free protection, allowing you to train, compete, and recover without frequent changes.

Top Reasons Saalt Cups Should Accompany You to Paris (your backyard, or wherever your sport takes you!):

  • Comfortable Fit: Saalt cups are soft and flexible, moving with you whether you're executing a gymnastics routine or running a marathon.
  • Eco-Friendly: One cup can last up to 10 years, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious athletes. On top of that, they’ll save you space for all of the macarons you’ll be bringing home!
  • Variety of Sizes: Available in different sizes to fit your flow and body perfectly.

Pro Tip: Practice inserting and removing your cup before the big day to ensure you're comfortable and confident. We know you know a thing or two about practice :)

2. Menstrual Disc: For Those Heavier Flow Days

Why Menstrual Discs? For intense training days or heavier flows, menstrual discs are the real MVP. They sit higher in the vaginal canal than cups, providing a different kind of comfort and flexibility.

Top Reasons Saalt Discs are an Athlete’s BFF:

  • High Capacity: Saalt discs hold more fluid than most cups, ideal for long practice sessions.
  • Mess-Free Period Sex: Discs allow for mess-free period sex, offering both convenience and comfort. Activity isn’t just for the field :)
  • No Suction: Unlike cups, discs don’t rely on suction to stay in place, which some athletes find more comfortable.

Pro Tip: Like with cups, get familiar with inserting and removing your disc ahead of time. It’s all about finding what works best for your body so your body is ready to beat the competition.

3. Leak Proof Seamless Underwear: VPLs? Who Needs Them?

Why leakproof underwear? With Seamless Saalt Wear say goodbye to visible panty lines (VPLs) and hello to reliable comfort. Saalt Wear is designed to be discreet and provide leak proof protection without compromising on style or comfort.

Top Reasons Saalt Wear Seamless Knocks it Out of the Park:

  • Discreet and Comfortable: Perfect under any uniform, Seamless Saalt Wear sweatproof underwear keeps you protected without any visible lines. No one’s got time for those!
  • Leak Proof Technology: Made with high-quality, breathable fabric offering reliable leak proof protection.
  • Variety of Styles: From bikinis to briefs, Saalt Wear has you covered for any sport.

Pro Tip: Mix and match Saalt Wear with your favorite period cups or disc for the ultimate combo - kind of like Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor.

Final Whistle

Your period should never stand in the way of your athletic goals or dreams. With the right reusable period products, you can stay focused, confident, and ready to get yourself a medal, sweat out that bad day, or go out for a walk with your family. Whether you choose Saalt menstrual cups, Saalt menstrual discs, or Saalt Wear period panties, you’re set to conquer the Olympics—or whatever activity you have in your sights—without missing a beat!
