Saalt Wear sizing and absorbencyUpdated 7 months ago
Wondering what size and absorbency Saalt Wear period underwear to get? We're here to help!
ABSORBENCY
Saalt Wear comes in four absorbency levels: Light, Regular, Heavy, and Super. We encourage you to choose our heavy absorbency if your flow is heavy or if you want to free bleed, wearing Saalt Wear alone. If you have a lighter flow, or just want a backup to wear with your cup, disc, or tampon, our lighter absorbency options may be great for you. Remember that knowing your flow will help determine how long you can wear your Saalt Wear before changing. *A light tampon typically holds 2-3 mL and a regular tampon holds 5mL on average for reference.
Here’s a quick rundown:
Our Leak Proof Lace Hipster, Leak Proof Thong, Comfort Thong, and Seamless Thong styles are made for your light flow days and hold 1–2 light tampons (~1 tsp or 3–6 ml) worth of flow.
BEST FOR:
Light period leaks, spotting, and discharge, as a replacement for a panty liner, or as a backup for a tampon, cup, or disc.
Our Leak Proof Mesh Hipster, Bikini, High Waist Regular, French Cut Regular; Comfort Bikini; Seamless Brief Regular, High Waist, Bikini; as well as our Cotton Bikini and Brief are made for your regular flow days and hold 2–3 regular tampons (2–3 tsp or 10–15 ml) worth of flow.
