Participate in Jane's tampon study
Did you know there is an abundance of health data in the tampon you use during your period that you’re just throwing away?
We are enrolling ‘healthy’ subjects to take part in a study to understand the molecular data in your tampon, to further the world’s understanding of menstrual and uterine health. This may be the most low-effort way you can advance the science behind women’s health. Sign up for our clinical study and give us your tampons.
About the Study
What are we doing?
We are developing new molecular insights about your uterus through menstrual blood collected on a tampon. Every good study requires a control group of people that are generally measured as having/being in good health. These controls are foundational to moving science forward. In this study, we will be looking at microbial and cellular signatures in your menstrual tampons to understand better what a normal, healthy menstrual cycle looks like - so we can compare it to people who may be suffering from diseases like endometriosis.
Who do we need?
We need to collect tampons from patients who qualify. You qualify if: -You menstruate regularly and are 15-45 years old -You have no reason to believe (symptoms or a doctor’s workup) that you might have a reproductive disorder -You are able to wear a tampon during at least one menstrual cycle You can substantially add to the understudied subject of women’s health by finding use in something you’d otherwise throw away.
What do we need from you?
A tampon collected on the heaviest flow day of your cycle. We may ask you for multiple tampons, over several menstrual cycles. You can participate as little as you like. The study also requires you to fill out a few questionnaires that help us understand who you are more fully (menstrual experience, and other conditions you might have).
What you’ll receive for participating?
You will be compensated up to $500 for your participation in this study. Thank you for working with us to change the ways people are taken care of and treated by our medical system.
Sign up for our clinical study and give us your tampons.
