What Does It Detect?

The test indicates the acidity of the vaginal environment. A pH value that differs from normal may suggest that it is worth seeing a doctor; pH alone does not identify the cause of a complaint, so always regard the result as informational only.

Who Is It For?

For women who want quick information about their vaginal pH at home, for example when they notice unusual discharge, discomfort or other changes. It is a good idea to write down the result and mention it at your medical examination. The test is for single use.

Why a Home Rapid Test?

The test can be done discreetly in your own home, without an appointment, and gives a result within minutes. This makes it easier to decide whether you should see a doctor, and you can take the result with you to the consultation. It is especially useful if you find it hard to make time for an appointment at a doctor's office or are looking for a more discreet option.

Use and Storage

Please follow the instructions for use in the package exactly, especially the steps on sample collection and reading time, as following them affects the result. Read the instructions all the way through before collecting the sample, and have a clock or timer ready so you keep to the reading time. Keep the test in its original, unopened packaging until use.

Important Information

The rapid test gives a preliminary, informational result: it does not provide a diagnosis and does not replace a medical examination. If the result is positive or uncertain, or if your symptoms persist despite a negative result, see a doctor, who will decide on any further tests.
