HPV diagnostic accuracy
In a head-to-head comparison, the Diagnostic Tampon showed 82.9% sensitivity, 91.6% specificity, and a 99.2% conclusive result rate, performing comparably to clinician-collected samples and outperforming vaginal self-swabs.
STI detection
Across comparative studies, the tampon showed high concordance with clinician-collected samples for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Bacterial Vaginosis.
Microbiome Profiling
Tampon-based sampling generated more abundant microbial DNA—significantly increasing total bacterial mass and key taxa such as Lactobacillus and Ureaplasma.
Patient Acceptability
Across multiple cohorts, the majority of participants were willing to provide tampon samples, with a strong preference over both speculum exams and vaginal swabs, including among first-time screeners and those with GSM-related discomfort.
One tampon, multiple panels
The higher analyte yield from tampon sampling enables HPV, STI, and microbiome analysis from a single specimen, reducing patient burden and improving workflow efficiency.

The Diagnostic Tampon supports PCR-based detection of high-risk HPV, key STIs, and clinically relevant vaginal microbiome markers. Results are suitable for clinical decision-making when interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals.
1. High-Risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types covered
2. STI pathogens covered
3. Vaginal Microbiome Panel
“I love the whole experience of being able to test in one own's time at their own convenience. Everything is simple and straightforward. I was recommended to take medication which I did. Price for this was competitive.”

Daye has been really great since I found them. I have completed a few microbiome tests with them. Testing with their help led to the discovery of my endometriosis. I highly recommend them.
