Why is the Saalt cup wear time 8 hours in Australia?
If you’ve been confused to see Saalt advertise 12 hour wear time in the USA and 8 hours in Australia, let me explain!
The FDA in the USA allows brands like Saalt to advertise that period cups can be worn for up to 12 hours.
However, in Australia our regulating body is the TGA, and they say that brands are only allowed to advertise that cups can be worn for up to 8 hours (even if it’s for the exact same product).
Same product. Different country, different regulations.

HOW DO THEY WORK?
Fold it up nice and small.
Insert it like a tampon.
It will collect your blood (3-4x more blood than a tampon!)
When inserted properly, you won’t even notice it’s there.
