For years, women who traded tampons for menstrual cups and discs have said their periods got better. Less cramping, less bloating, fewer headaches. Saalt heard it thousands of times, so they funded an independent consumer study to find out if it held up. The answer surprised even them.

In this episode of The Saalt Show, guest host Kim Rosas of Period Nirvana puts co-founders Cherie and Jon Hoeger in the hot seat. A self-described skeptic of brand-funded studies, Kim walks through the study, funded by Saalt and administered by People Science, and what it found: eight in ten felt better, 95% would recommend the switch, and people were six times more likely to report zero cramping when using a cup or disc.* They get into why the team brought in an outside firm and a PhD researcher, the UC Berkeley tampon study that put heavy metals in the headlines, and the biggest surprise of all, that fewer than one in ten people found a cup or disc hard to use.
