Step 1: Preparation

1. Wash your hands with soap and dry them. You can also use the enclosed gloves.
2. Remove the swab from the sample container. Make sure not to touch the tip of the swab. Keep the sample container handy. You will need it again after collecting the sample.
   

Step 2: Execution

1. Hold the swab with two fingers at the middle of the stick. With one hand, spread the labia. Insert the tip of the swab with the other hand until the fingers holding the swab touch the vagina. This is sufficient to collect the necessary sample.
2. Gently rotate the swab for 20 seconds. The swab does not need to touch the vaginal walls or the cervix.
3. Carefully remove the swab from the vagina, without touching the tip. Place the swab back into the sample container and seal it.
4. Place the sample container in the clear plastic bag, press out the excess air, and seal it.

Step 3: Shipping

1. Place the protective bag in the pre-addressed return box and seal it carefully.
2. Add the sender's address to the return label and drop the return box in the mailbox on the same day.
