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.

Frequently asked questions
How does a pH swab diagnose anything?
Thrush usually leaves vaginal pH normal (acidic); BV and trichomonas raise it. The swab's colour change plus your symptom picture points to the probable culprit with >90% accuracy.
What do the colours mean?
Yellow suggests probable thrush — treat antifungally. Blue/green suggests probable BV or trichomonas — BV self-care exists, but trichomonas needs a clinic, so check the leaflet's guidance.
Why not just guess?
Because women self-diagnosing get it wrong almost half the time, and the treatments are opposites. One swab beats a week of the wrong cream.
