Saalt Compact Sanitizer

Just what I needed!

For a while, I was disinfecting my period cup in what I called my "pot of shame" (literally, a rickety old pot with dents on it with the sole purpose of disinfecting the cup). Now, I have something that's easily accessible, travels well and doesn't make me want to cry. I rarely buy from Instagram ads. I have to say, I'm BEYOND grateful for this one.

Not Impressed

This is my third cycle using a saalt disc and the compact sanitizer. I can't say I'm impressed with the sanitizer. Sure, it's nice to not have to boil water in a pot on the stove (it definitely won't be accidentally used to cook food in!), but it's a hassle all the same. The disc floats and is on the larger side, so it's difficult to keep the disc submerged while not overfilling the sanitizer and spilling water everywhere, especially when picking it up. (My bathroom is not near my kitchen, and I'm definitely not going to dump my period disc water in the kitchen sink!) The water can boil over too if you're not really careful. I place the sanitizer inside the lid to attempt to catch any water that might spill out. I should have just bought the steamer though.

Too small for my cup :(

Very convenient and great design but would definitely recommend checking the size of your cup first cause mine is just floating at the top with little room to go down. But to be fair I got my cup yearssss ago so maybe it’s different than what this is meant to handle.
