Menstrual Discs

At Saalt, we believe your period should support your life, not slow it down. That’s why we’ve thoughtfully designed period products that work with your body, so you can focus on living your life to the fullest. A reusable menstrual disc is one of the most flexible internal options available. It rests just below the cervix, tucked comfortably behind the pubic bone. Unlike a menstrual cup, which stays lower in the vaginal canal and forms a gentle seal using suction, a disc lies flat and conforms to your body’s natural shape for a barely-there feel.

Why Choose Saalt Menstrual Discs

Your period care should make life easier, not more complicated. That’s why we offer 100% medical-grade silicone menstrual discs. With us, you can feel confident knowing every disc is body-safe, FDA registered, vegan, and cruelty-free. They’re also biocompatible and don’t contain BPA, latex, or harmful toxins, so they shouldn’t interfere with your natural pH levels. Avoiding Bisphenol A (BPA) matters because this chemical has been linked to potential health risks. 


Protection That Fits Your Flow

Compared to a menstrual cup, a disc can hold more fluid, which means fewer changes throughout the day. While the regular Saalt Cup holds about 30 mL and the small holds 25 mL, a Saalt Disc offers even more space. The small menstrual disc holds 30 mL (about 3–4 tampons’ worth) of fluid and has a 56 mm diameter, making it a great choice for lighter flows, lower cervixes, and teens or young adults. The Regular Saalt Disc holds 50 mL (about 5–6 tampons’ worth) with a 66 mm diameter, offering long-lasting protection for heavier flows, high cervixes, or those who are new to discs. Either way, that extra capacity can be especially helpful for heavy flow days, long work shifts, or peaceful, uninterrupted nights of rest.


Intimacy Without Interruption

One unique benefit of the Saalt Disc is that you can wear it during sex. Unlike cups or tampons, the disc’s position allows for comfortable, mess-free intimacy, so your period doesn’t have to pause your connection. And yes, you can also pee or go to the bathroom with your disc in place! Its flexible design conforms to your body, supporting comfort and freedom in every part of your day.


Environmental Impact: Waste Saved By Switching To A Disc

A single menstrual disc that’s reusable can last for years with proper care, reducing waste from the billions of pads and tampons thrown away each year. The reality of the environmental impact of menstrual hygiene products can be shocking. One person alone may use around 10,000 disposable menstrual products in their lifetime, many of which are made with up to 90% plastic. Most end up in landfills, where pads can take 500–800 years to decompose, or flushed into waterways, where they contribute to ocean pollution.


How Your Menstrual Disc Makes A Difference

Choosing a reusable menstrual disc may feel like a small decision, but it’s part of a much bigger shift. Every Saalt Disc you use can replace the thousands of pads or tampons you would have used instead, helping reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions. And because Saalt is a certified B Corporation, we dedicate 1% of our revenue to fund programs that advance menstrual health, education, and sustainability around the world. Together with our community, here’s what we’ve collectively accomplished:

  • 616,000+ periods served, helping students and workers stay in school or go to work with dignity and confidence.
  • 30 million+ disposable products diverted from landfills and oceans, cutting down on long-term waste.
  • 4 million+ plastic water bottles repurposed and 244,000 pounds of cleanup funded, supporting healthier communities and ecosystems.
  • 1.3 million school days funded, because access to period care means learning doesn’t have to stop during a cycle.

Behind these numbers are real stories of empowerment. In places like Kenya and Nepal, where 86% and 46% of girls miss school because of their period, respectively, access to Saalt products means staying in class and continuing their education. In the U.S., where 1 in 5 people with a period struggle to afford products each month, donations make it possible to show up at work or school without fear or shame. When you choose a Saalt Disc, you’re helping to fuel positive change for people and the planet.


Let’s Do The Math Together

There’s also the financial aspect to consider. While pads and tampons can cost $7 or more per box (a recurring expense month after month), a single Saalt Disc is a long-lasting investment that costs $35. Most people go through at least one box per month, so within five months, you’ve already spent the equivalent of a Saalt Disc on disposables. But here’s the thing: With proper care, your disc can last up to 10 years. That’s 120 months of use at most. Over that time, you’d spend about $840 on tampons or pads (assuming they consistently cost you $7), compared to just $35 for a Saalt Disc. When you think about it that way, switching to a reusable disc isn’t just kinder to the world we share; it’s also easier on your wallet.


The Saalt Bliss Guarantee

We know that learning to use a new reusable product can take time and a little practice. That’s why every Saalt product comes with our 90-Day Saalt Bliss Guarantee. If your disc isn’t the right fit, you have 90 days to return or exchange it, no questions asked. Our goal is to help you find period care that truly supports you, and we’ll be here to cheer you on every step of the way. Love it, or we’ll make it right!

Our community says it best. Alexa shared, “The disc is definitely one of my new favorite period care items! So comfortable, so easy, and it’s so cute too. Helps make that ‘time of the month’ seem like any other day!” If you’re still not convinced, Jillian wrote, “If you have not used a cup or a disc for period care, you are missing out on so much freedom! No more stockpiles of supplies in your bathroom, purse, car. Insert and go! Done and done.”

These stories are real-life reminders that switching to the best reusable menstrual disc is about feeling comfortable, capable, and free to live your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cleaning your Saalt disc is super simple. Rinse first with cold water to prevent staining, then wash with an unscented, pH-balanced cleanser and warm water. At the end of your cycle, a four-to-five-minute boil ensures it’s ready for next time. Hot water sanitizes your disc; just make sure to use tongs or a whisk to prevent it from touching the bottom of the pot, which can warp or damage the silicone.

Yes! One of the empowering benefits of our menstrual discs is that, when inserted properly, it can be worn mess-free during penetrative sex. That means less worrying about leaks and more focusing on intimacy, because periods should never have to put a pause on pleasure.

Absolutely. Saalt discs are designed for up to 12 hours of leak-free protection, letting you sleep comfortably without the stress of waking up for a midnight bathroom run (or sleeping on towels). Just insert your disc before bed, and feel confident knowing you and your sheets are protected.

Most Saalt menstrual disc users find they can comfortably wear their disc for up to 12 hours at a time, depending on their flow. On lighter days, you may be able to go the full 12 hours without emptying, while on heavier days, it’s a good idea to check a little sooner. Because discs have a higher capacity than most cups or tampons, many people find they need to empty them less often overall. The key is giving yourself a few cycles to practice and learn when your body feels ready for a change.

It’s completely normal for disc use to feel like a learning curve at first, and yes, removal can be a little messy during those early tries. Because discs sit higher up, removal involves hooking a finger under the rim before sliding the disc out. With a bit of practice, clean and controlled removals quickly become second nature. Many users find that removing the disc in the shower or over the toilet makes the process easier (and cleaner) in the beginning.

In most cases, no, inserting or removing a menstrual disc shouldn’t hurt or cause discomfort. When positioned correctly, you should barely feel that it’s there. That being said, it can take a little trial and error to learn the motions. If you do feel some discomfort, don’t worry! It usually just means the disc isn’t placed quite right or that you need to adjust your angle during removal. Over time, most users find both insertion and removal become second nature. And if you ever need help, our Saalt Coaches are here with tips to guide you through those first few tries.
