Your vaginal microbiome plays a key role in comfort, balance and reproductive health. The Daye Vaginal Microbiome Test is a simple, at-home kit designed to help you understand your unique microbial profile. Using a tampon-style sample collection, you insert and wear it for 20 minutes, even if you are not on your period. It is suitable during pregnancy, menopause or while using contraception.

Your sample is analysed in accredited laboratories using advanced molecular PCR technology. PCR detects and measures specific bacteria and fungi with high sensitivity and accuracy. The test reviews protective Lactobacilli, anaerobic bacteria linked to imbalance, Candida, and Mycoplasma/Ureaplasma. Results are available online within 5–10 days, alongside personalised insights and optional expert support.

The Daye Vaginal Microbiome Test Kit offers a more comprehensive way to understand vaginal health through advanced PCR analysis. Instead of a traditional swab, it uses a tampon-based collection method, which gathers fluid from the entire vaginal canal for broader sampling. The applicator design reduces contamination risk during insertion and makes the process more familiar and comfortable for at-home use. By combining high-sensitivity laboratory technology with a full-canal sample, Daye provides a more detailed microbiome profile than standard screening approaches.

Daye exists to raise the standard in gynaecological health — creating innovative products and services designed to fit seamlessly into modern life. Built on the belief that healthcare should never be one-size-fits-all, Daye champions health on your terms, combining convenience, quality and privacy through both physical products and a supportive digital platform. Transparency sits at the heart of the brand, with open access to research, supply chains and scientific insights so customers can make informed decisions. With a holistic approach to sustainability and a mission to close the gender health gap, Daye is redefining what equitable, evidence-led gynae care should look like.
