Product overview

About Canestest — Self-Test for Vaginal Infections

Before treating, know what you're treating: Canestest is a self-diagnostic swab that reads vaginal pH and, combined with your symptoms, tells you in seconds whether you're probably dealing with thrush or probably BV/trichomonas — with over 90% clinical accuracy. One test; the treatment aisle suddenly makes sense.

Why testing first matters

Thrush and BV share billing but need opposite treatments — antifungal versus pH restoration — and studies show women guess wrong nearly half the time. A yellow swab points to probable thrush; blue-green to probable BV or trichomonas. Thirty seconds here saves a wasted week of the wrong treatment.

How to use

Insert the swab as directed, hold ten seconds, remove and read the colour against the guide. Clear result, matching treatment: Canesten for thrush; Canesbalance (or similar lactic-acid course) for BV.

Good to know

A trichomonas suggestion, pregnancy, first-ever symptoms, or results that don't match how you feel — all go to a GP or sexual health clinic rather than the self-care shelf.
