Why This Marathon Runner Calls Her Period a Privilege (with Jessica Davis)

For years, Jessica Davis treated her period as a problem to manage. Boxes of tampons under the counter, a string to deal with on every run, and a suitcase packed with backups for every trip. Saalt changed that for her. In this episode of The Saalt Show, she sits down with Co-Founder and CEO Cherie Hoeger to talk about what shifted once she made the switch to a menstrual cup. Jessica is a marathon runner who now races on her period worry-free with a Saalt cup. She walks through the real learning curve, the small tips that made it click, the marathon she ran on her period, and why she now calls her period a privilege and a marker of health. Cherie shares the founder side too: why she built Saalt to give women freedom, what that word means to her, and how Saalt keeps PFAS out of its product development.

"Weird, But Worth It: Making Peace With Her Period at 40" (with Lily Palmer)

For most of her life, Lily Palmer was told her irregular periods were nothing to worry about unless she wanted to get pregnant. So she stopped paying attention. It took 40 years, and a lot of unlearning, for her to start asking real questions about her own body. In this episode, Saalt co-founder and CEO Cherie Hoeger sits down with Lily to talk about growing up afraid of her period, getting dismissed by doctors for years, and what changed once she found products and education that spoke to her like a real person. Lily walks through learning to use the menstrual cup over three cycles, why Saalt's straight-talk education clicked when cutesy nicknames didn't, and how she now pairs a disc with leakproof period underwear for heavy nights. Along the way she hands Cherie a line worth keeping: trying something new can be weird, but worth it. Cherie also shares what a new consumer study found about cramping, fatigue, and bloating after people switched from tampons to cups and discs.
