Is Saalt Wear good for the planet?Updated 7 months ago

We believe reusable products are the key to a more sustainable future. 

First, the Saalt Cup + Saalt Wear dynamic duo is our favorite way to period. Why? Because it provides a fully reusable solution to replace both tampons and pads that is better for our bodies and the planet. 🌎

Now let’s talk period waste. 

Did you know that one person with a period generates an average of 7.3 pounds of period waste per year and will use over 11,000 disposable, one-time-use menstrual products over their reproductive lifetime? And it takes a tampon longer to degrade than the lifespan of the person who wears it.

Using reusable solutions like period underwear and menstrual cups is one of the simplest ways to divert massive amounts of period waste. Keep in mind we've only talked about the waste, this doesn't even consider the strain on natural resources that the production of so many disposable products creates, and the carbon footprint of all that manufacturing. Reusable products just use less, waste less, and are cleaner to produce.

Then there’s the health factor. 

Tampons are getting a lot of press these days because of toxic components not required to be listed in the ingredients. We're seeing a major shift in the marketplace where consumers are actively choosing safer and healthier options for themselves and the environment. From high-quality materials to clean manufacturing processes, Saalt Wear leakproof underwear is a remarkably safe and simple solution for period care.  Some of our fabrics are OEKO-TEX®️ and bluesign®️ approved, which are internationally recognized standards for making textiles cleaner and more environmentally friendly. 

And they are ethically made too. 

As a B Corp, we select supply chain partners whose values align with the commitment we’ve made to be a force for good in the world. Our ethically-made fabrics are made in a renowned factory that guarantees safe and healthy labor conditions and goes above and beyond to provide housing, medical care, safe water, and college scholarships for their seamstresses and workers.

Finally, you get to do good with every wear.

From every purchase, Saalt gives 1% to donate period care to areas with the most need, and funds initiatives in menstrual health, girls education, and sustainability. Thank you for (period) caring.
