The Canesten Self-Test is an easy-to-use screening tool designed to accurately identify common vaginal infections such as thrush and bacterial vaginosis. Its simple, 4-step process makes it a reliable first step for any woman in need of the diagnosis. Reliable and discreet results in minutes.

Is it thrush or BV?

While both thrush and bacterial vaginosis (BV) are very common, they’re two different types of infections and as such require different treatments. However, they are not always easy for women to identify.

With Canestest®, you can test before you treat, so you know you're choosing the right solution that will bring you effective relief from your infection.

Directions

• Unwrap the Canestest® swab (make sure the swab tip does not come into contact with anything before you insert it into your vagina).
• Hold the Canestest® swab by the handle and insert the yellow tip into your vagina, rotate the swab and then remove.
• After 10 seconds check the tip of the Canestest® swab to see if the colour has stayed the same or changed to blue or green.
• The test results should be interpreted in conjunction with your symptoms, based on the symptoms table on the back of the pack, helping you to understand which common vaginal infection you may be suffering from, such as thrush or bacterial vaginosis.
