Product details
Take control of your vaginal health with Daye Diagnostic Tampon, the non-invasive at-home tampon screen designed to make vaginal health easy. Unlike traditional methods like swabs, our diagnostic tampons collect a comprehensive sample from the entire vaginal canal, ensuring improved accuracy in detecting a range of infections.
What Daye Diagnostic Tampons Screen For:
- Lactobacilli Bacteria: discover the percentage of protective lactobacilli in your vaginal microbiome, crucial for guarding against disruptions and recurring infections.
- Anaerobic Bacteria: detects common causes of Bacterial Vaginosis.
- Candida Yeasts: the culprits behind vaginal thrush infections.
- Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma Hominis: bacteria that can cause inflammation, impacting fertility or pregnancy outcomes.
- Chlamydia: one of the most common STIs, symptomless in 70% of women and AFAB individuals, with potential fertility and complication risks if untreated.
- Gonorrhea: a common STI that can impact fertility if left untreated.
- Trichomoniasis: often-missed and very common STI with symptoms similar to BV and thrush.
- Mycoplasma Genitalium: a newly-recognised STI that's been linked to specific fertility outcomes.
Beyond Screening:
Receive personalised information about treatments, consultations, and specialist after-care tailored to your needs. Each report comes with lifestyle hacks to support your vaginal health, ensuring a holistic approach to your well-being.

How to use
Using the kit at home is super easy — you just need to insert the provided tampon, wear it for at least 20 minutes (and up to 8 hours), and then put it in the pouches you have received in the kit and ship it back to us in the same box you received initially. We’ve prepared detailed video instructions which you’ll see after completing the test activation questionnaire in your account on Daye's website.
Hazards and Cautions
We recommend avoiding the use of the tampon for vaginal diagnostics for a period of six weeks following vaginal birth. This allows ample time for the body to heal and reduces the risk of potential complications. Please consult with your healthcare provider for guidance specific to your individual situation.
In addition to the postpartum period, we advise against using the tampon for vaginal diagnostics if you have any open wounds, sores, or other vaginal irritations. It is essential to prioritize your comfort and well-being, and if you have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider.
Important info
In order to take a sample at least 5 days must have passed since your last period ended. There are a few other requirements: no antibiotics or antifungals in the last 30 days, no douching, penetrative vaginal sex, and vaginally applied meds or creams in the 24 hours before. That will ensure your microbiome is in a stable state and that your results are representative of it.
Ingredients
Each kit contains:
- 2 tampons to take your sample — one to take your sample with and one for backup. The tampons are made of 100% organic cotton, contained in an • LDPE sugarcane applicator for smooth insertion.
