Global study probes hidden impact of period products

NCT ID NCT06646185

Summary

This study aims to understand how different menstrual products—pads, tampons, and menstrual cups—affect the community of bacteria in the vagina. It will follow 100 healthy participants in Peru, Cameroon, and Switzerland for six months, with each person trying all three products in a random order. The main goal is to gather knowledge, not to test a treatment, by collecting self-swab samples to see how the bacterial balance changes.
