Femtech brand Daye has launched a tampon that can test for five of the most common STIs. Here's everything you need to know...
The humble tampon used to be for one thing and one thing alone but innovative British femtech brand Daye has given it a whole new purpose. It has launched an STI diagnostic tampon, which uses a polymerase chain reaction test to check for five of the most common STIs, namely chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, mycoplasma and ureaplasma. The process couldn't be simpler: insert the tampon as usual, then pop it into the extraction solution .
