Our 7 Picks for At-Home Yeast Infection Tests of 2023

The LetsGetChecked Vaginitis Test can return your results in as little as two days after receiving your sample, and the company can also provide medication for vaginal yeast infections, bacterial infections, and trichomoniasis. The LetsGetChecked Vaginitis Test costs $199 with free shipping and is eligible for flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) payment.

You can order a test kit online through the LetsGetChecked website. You will first need to first activate the kit before you collect your sample, which is done using a vaginal swab. Results should be ready within two to five days after the lab receives your sample. LetsGetChecked uses CLIA- and CAP-approved labs, so you can trust that they are reputable. Using the LetsGetChecked app (for iOS or Android), you can order tests and track your results.

If your results are positive for bacterial vaginosis, Candida vaginitis (yeast infection), or trichomoniasis, you’ll be eligible to receive a prescription treatment after speaking with one of LetsGetChecked’s healthcare providers.

Reviewers on the company’s website say that they are impressed with the discreet packaging, healthcare provider follow-up, and treatment options provided by LetsGetChecked. However, some people stated that their results took longer than the advertised two to five days. Note that this test is not available for residents of New York state.

The at-home Stix Yeast Infection Test & Treat Kit costs roughly $29 with free shipping on orders more than $30—making it one of the least expensive tests we reviewed. You can check out on the Stix website using an HSA or FSA card or apply for reimbursement through your insurance plan.

This test measures vaginal pH but doesn’t check for the presence of yeast. An increased vaginal pH level can be an indicator of a yeast infection, but it also may be a sign of other issues.

To use the test, take a swab of your vagina and then apply the swab to the test strip. Results are ready in two minutes. If the strip shows that your vaginal pH is elevated, you can treat it using the included itch cream and a three-day yeast infection treatment. However, if this treatment doesn’t work, you may want to see a healthcare provider.

Stix products are available in all 50 states. Reviewers on the company’s website write positively about the convenience of this kit and the fact that it can be ordered online. However, they stated that the included panty liners are a little thin for their intended use.

The myLAB Box V-Box is a straightforward test that requires a quick vaginal swab to check for yeast infections. The test costs roughly $189 with free shipping. You can pay with your FSA or HSA card or request reimbursement through your provider. 

This test also checks for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and yeast infections—all of which can potentially cause abnormal vaginal discharge.

After you receive your kit, you’ll need to activate it, then collect your sample using a vaginal swab and mail it back in the included envelope. Your results should be ready to view online two to five days after the lab receives your sample. MyLAB Box works with CLIA- and CAP-accredited labs for its tests.

If your test is positive for any of these five conditions, you’ll have an opportunity to speak with a healthcare provider and potentially receive a prescription treatment.

Most reviewers on the company website seem satisfied with their experiences with myLAB Box, but some people complain that their customer service team is non-responsive and that shipping and results may both take longer than advertised. Note that this test isn’t available in New York.

Juno Bio’s Vaginal Microbiome Test provides a complete report of the bacteria, fungi, and yeasts comprising your vaginal microbiome, plus your vaginal pH. The test costs $149 with free shipping, or you can subscribe for a 33% discount and receive four tests per year for $99 each.

After ordering your test online, you first need to activate your test, then collect your sample using a vaginal swab and vaginal pH strip and return them to the Juno Bio lab. After it receives your sample, you should get your results within five to 10 days. Juno has vaginal health coaches available to discuss your results with you.

We chose Juno Bio for vaginal wellness because, in addition to a full report detailing the composition of your vaginal microbiome, Juno Bio also does vaginal pH testing, which adds an extra dimension to provide a more complete picture of your vaginal health. The website does state that its tests are not intended to diagnose or treat disease—so you should discuss your results with your doctors before pursuing any treatment.

It's worth noting that in Juno Bio's terms and conditions, it says that by using the service, you are granting the company permission to use your information for research and development purposes.

If you want to keep tabs not only on your yeast infection status but your overall vaginal health, subscribing to the Evvy Vaginal Health Test will get you detailed reports every three months for about $99—a 30% savings. A single test costs about $129 with free shipping and is eligible for reimbursement through most HSAs and FSAs. 

The test kit can be ordered online through the Evvy website. Once it arrives you’ll need to collect your sample using a vaginal swab and mail it back in the included mailer. After Evvy’s lab receives your sample, it will take two to three weeks for you to get results.

Evvy’s lab is CLIA-accredited and measures every type of bacteria or fungi (yeast) present on your vaginal swab—providing a complete picture of your vaginal health. After you receive your results, you can discuss them with one of Evvy’s health coaches.

Evvy is available in all 50 states. Reviewers on Evvy’s website address how comprehensive the test is, and note that it really is easy to use and informative.

The VagiSense test is simple, affordable, and available to pick up or order from Walmart. Each box costs around $18 and contains two yellow-tipped swab tests, plus some of the clearest instructions on the market. They state very clearly that you won’t get an accurate result if you’re menstruating or about to start your period or have had vaginal intercourse 12 hours or less prior, and that the test should only be taken if you have symptoms like burning or pain while urinating. 

Once you’ve collected a sample, wait 10 seconds to see if the yellow tip changes blue or green. Unlike many vague pH tests, VagiSense’s instructions explain explicitly that a green or blue tip indicates an abnormal pH, which is most likely to be the result of a bacterial or parasitic infection—not a yeast infection–and that you should contact a medical provider about prescription treatment. Most people with yeast infections have a normal pH level. So, if the tip of your swab stays yellow, and you have symptoms, the irritation may be due to a yeast infection. You should still confirm with a provider, but over-the-counter treatments are available. 

What we like best about the VagiSense test is that the swab device it uses was validated in a clinical study published in an academic journal. It’s on the CDC’s short list of tests that are easy to use and carry a low risk of error that can reliably be done at home, and don’t need to be assessed by a certified lab. However, there are very few online reviews of this test, and some of those reviewers said they did not find the test useful.

Yeast infection is just one of many vaginal health factors that Tiny Health’s test measures. The kit will give you insights into your vaginal microbiome—including the balance of healthy and unhealthy bacteria and signs of potential problems, like yeast infections—and how these might affect your pregnancy or fertility, plus what actions you might want to consider. 

A single test costs $179, or $149 with a subscription where you receive one kit every three months. To use the test, you’ll take a 20-second vaginal swab and mail it back to Tiny Health. The sample is then analyzed in a CLIA-certified lab. You’ll get back a detailed report breaking down the composition of bacteria (or flora) in your vagina. The report is very easy to read. If your vaginal yeast is unusually high, indicating a possible infection, the report will show a clear message saying so. It will also break down which bacteria are at healthy or unhealthy levels, and suggest what to do to balance them to better support your pregnancy. Healthy vaginal flora has been linked to lower risk of preterm birth and better immune and gut health for babies. 

The downside of the Tiny Health kit is that this detailed report takes weeks to generate, so if you’re only interested in testing for a yeast infection, this kit is probably overkill.
