What It’s For

This test helps you identify possible causes of vaginal discomfort and abnormal discharge by checking the vaginal pH. It can be useful if you experience:

• Unusual discharge (change in colour, texture, or smell)
• Itching, burning, or irritation
• Fishy odour or discomfort after sex

Use the results to decide whether self-treatment for thrush is suitable or if you should see your GP or pharmacist for further testing.

Directions for Use

• Wash your hands thoroughly before testing.
• Remove the swab from the packaging without touching the pH tip.
• Gently insert the yellow tip about 2–3 cm into the vagina, avoiding contact with the cervix.
• Hold for a few seconds to absorb vaginal fluid, then remove the swab.
• Compare the colour of the tip to the chart provided within 30 seconds:
  • Yellow/Light Green (pH 3.8–4.5): Normal — likely yeast infection (thrush).
  • Green–Blue (pH > 4.5): Abnormal — may indicate bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis.
• Use results as guidance only. If abnormal, consult a healthcare professional.

Precautions & Warnings

• For vaginal pH testing in women only. Not for internal medical diagnosis.
• Do not use during menstruation or within 24 hours of sexual intercourse, vaginal creams, or douching — this may affect accuracy.
• Single-use only. Dispose of swab safely after testing.
• Do not use after expiry date or if packaging is damaged.
• If you are pregnant, under 18, have pelvic pain, fever, or blood-stained discharge, seek medical advice before testing.
