Does what its meant to do, instructions are easy to understand.

I don't know why so many people aren't managing this test and writing bad reviews. It works perfectly well if you follow the instructions and read the table properly. Basically if you've got some unusual discharge and itching you've narrowed it down to either vb or thrush. This test is ONLY for these two infections.if you think you have anything else or unsure, please go to your gp asap! Read up on the NHS website on possible vaginal infection and determine if your symptoms are similar to thrush or vb. Once you have narrowed it down to those two, order this test before buying treatments as it is two very different treatments, and contrary to one reviewers suggestion to "use both it won't do you any harm" , it will do you harm! Always use correct treatment! So the test arrives, take it out of the box and wash your hands thoroughly before taking it out of the foil packet. Insert the test and circle it around to gather a good sample then pop it onto the back of the box where the instructions are detailed. Wash your hands thoroughly again. By the time you've done this the results are ready to be read. Blue/ blueish green means you've likely to have vb and you should contact your pharmacist or gp to obtain the correct antibiotics to treat this and for proper confirmation. If it stays the same yellow as it comes and you have symptoms such as unusual discharge (cottage cheese) and/ or itching, your very likely to have thrush and you should obtain thrush treatment from your pharmacy it can be bought over the counter or prescribed. If your symptoms persist after 7 days see your gp. If it stays original yellow and you've no symptoms then I'm not entirely sure why you'd need to have bought this as it would appear to either be something else or nothing. Please can I just say again, ONLY BUY IF YOU'VE NARROWED YOUR SYMPTOMS TO VB OR THRUSH AS THIS IS ONLY SUITABLE TO DETERMINE BETWEEN THE TWO NOT ANY OTHER INFECTION. IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SEE YOUR GP!

Good indication as to whether there's a problem. Easy to use. Good value.

The product was ok I guess but I can’t really tell if this was accurate. It was expensive for ONE tiny swab. Save your money go to the doctor.

With appointments taking ages at doctors this is a great way for home testing. Results given seem accurate. Easy to use and results explained as to symptoms. So yes I had thrush again. So also bought the thrush duo pack to treat. Pessary and cream now on the mend. No doctors. Worth the expense.
