At Saalt, we believe that no one should have to experience shame, barriers, or inequity because of their period. Yet, as Teen Vogue highlighted in an article written in March 2025, menstrual injustice remains a pervasive issue worldwide. Menstrual stigma and lack of access to safe, sustainable period care can have devastating consequences. And here in the U.S., period poverty and misinformation continue to hold people back.
Â
Menstrual freedom isn’t just about having access to period products—it’s about dismantling the systems that make menstruation a source of shame, exclusion, or hardship. It’s about ensuring that every person can go to school, work, and engage in their community without fear of leaks, stigma, or financial burden. This why at Saalt, we are committed to providing sustainable, reusable solutions like menstrual cups, menstrual discs, and period underwear, paired with impact initiatives that directly address period injustice worldwide.

Sustainable Period Products as a Tool for Change
For millions of people experiencing period poverty, the cost of disposable period products is a monthly challenge—one that often forces people to miss school, work, or other critical life activities. Saalt’s reusable period care products offer a long-term solution. A single Saalt period cup or Disc can last up to 10 years, providing a sustainable, cost-effective alternative that eliminates the stress of affording disposable period products each month. Our leak-proof period panties offer another comfortable, dignified option that provides security without waste.
Â
We believe in solutions that not only empower individuals but also protect our planet. By reducing dependency on single-use products, we help combat waste while making period care more accessible and inclusive for all.

A Future Where Periods Hold No One Back
Menstrual freedom means a world where period care is as accessible as toilet paper, where schools and workplaces accommodate menstruation without shame, and where period health education is comprehensive, inclusive, and stigma-free. It means fighting for policies that protect people of all identities, ensuring that trans and nonbinary individuals have safe, affirming access to period care. It means designing products and facilities that meet the needs of disabled people and advocating for solutions that work for all bodies.
Â
We are honored to stand alongside organizations like Flo Haven in the fight for menstrual freedom. Together, we are not just addressing period poverty—we are working to eliminate the systemic barriers that perpetuate menstrual injustice. Because menstrual equity is the floor, not the ceiling.
Â
At Saalt, we believe that real change happens when we come together to create a world where periods are never a barrier. We invite you to join us—whether by switching to reusable period care, supporting menstrual justice organizations, or advocating for policy change. Because when we invest in menstrual freedom, we invest in a future where all people can live with dignity, confidence, and full participation in their communities.
