testing vaginal pH

[lafemelle]

If I'm wanting to get test strips to test the pH of my vagina, do I need to have a special kind? Or can I just use regular pH testing strips (like the kind you'd use for urine, saliva, etc.)?

I've wondered about this too.

I've done a little research on this in the past. I used to get frequent UTI's, so as I was researching test strips for that, I came across vaginal PH testing.

From what I remember... the vaginal PH paper IS different than the urine and saliva ones, etc. There is a product, I think called phem-alert or something like that which is a vagina ph test.

Hope this helps.

I just use the regular kind. Im pretty sure they are accurate, just maybe the phem-alert ones are a more specific range.
