Self collection of vaginal swabs is simple and painless.  This method has been used in numerous sexual health studies and often in situations where women prefer not to be examined. Collection is likened to the insertion of a tampon however the swab is removed immediately after collection.

Please observe the guidelines and diagrams for self collection of vaginal swabs
