August 03, 2026 "Weird, but Worth It": Making Peace with Her Period at 40 (with Lily Palmer)
StartFragment
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.

July 29, 2026 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.

July 13, 2026 Eight in Ten Felt Better After Ditching Tampons (with Kim Rosas)
For years, women who traded tampons for menstrual cups and discs have said their periods got better. Less cramping, less bloating, fewer headaches. Saalt heard it thousands of times, so they funded an independent consumer study to find out if it held up. The answer surprised even them.
In this episode of The Saalt Show, guest host Kim Rosas of Period Nirvana puts co-founders Cherie and Jon Hoeger in the hot seat. A self-described skeptic of brand-funded studies, Kim walks through the study, funded by Saalt and administered by People Science, and what it found: eight in ten felt better, 95% would recommend the switch, and people were six times more likely to report zero cramping when using a cup or disc.* They get into why the team brought in an outside firm and a PhD researcher, the UC Berkeley tampon study that put heavy metals in the headlines, and the biggest surprise of all, that fewer than one in ten people found a cup or disc hard to use.

* Individual results vary. In a study of 188 participants tracking 3 cycles, 24% of users reported zero cramping with Saalt vs. 4% at baseline.

July 07, 2026 The Phone Call that Inspired Saalt, the #1 Menstrual Cup Brand (with Cherie & Jon Hoeger)
Cherie Hoeger didn't set out to start a period care company. She was a writer and a mom of five daughters when a phone call to her aunt in Venezuela revealed that pads and tampons had been missing from store shelves for years. That call sent her searching for reusable period care options to send to her family, but she couldn't find quality products she trusted enough to share. So she decided to create her own. Today, Saalt is the best-selling menstrual cup brand and a women-owned B Corp on a mission to end global period poverty.
In this episode of The Saalt Show, guest host Nathan Gwilliam sits down with co-founders Cherie and Jon Hoeger. They share how a search for reusable products turned into Saalt, why Jon's first reaction to a menstrual cup company was a confused "a what?," how period poverty keeps girls out of school around the world, and the moment a Target buyer told them their product was best positioned to go mainstream. With more than 160,000 products donated in 56 countries and a family of eight built alongside the business, Cherie and Jon show that a period care brand can be a force for good.
