Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The Percentage of Used Tampons That Have Elongated

Time Frame: At the end of 1 menstrual period (up to 10 days) for each intervention

The percentage of used tampons within each test code that have elongated \>10mm. The denominator for the percentage calculation is based upon the number of used tampons returned within each test code.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Validation of Performance User Needs Based on Participant Diary Responses(At the end of 1 menstrual period (up to 10 days) for each intervention)
  • Number of Subjects That Had Any Lesions Noted During Gynecological Exam(Within 72 hours prior expected menstruation (pre-use) and within 72 hours after last tampon use (post-use) for each intervention)
  • Validation of Performance User Needs Based on Participant Diary Responses.(At the end of 1 menstrual period (up to 10 days) for each intervention)
  • Additional Gynecological Exam Results: Post-use Vaginal pH(Within 72 hours prior expected menstruation (pre-use) and within 72 hours after last tampon use (post-use) for each intervention)
  • Additional Gynecological Exam Results: Number of Participants With Suspected Infections, Other Abnormal Findings, and Clinically Significant Results(Within 72 hours prior expected menstruation (pre-use) and within 72 hours after last tampon use (post-use) for each intervention)
  • Additional Gynecological Exam Results: Pre-use Vaginal pH(Within 72 hours prior expected menstruation (pre-use) and within 72 hours after last tampon use (post-use) for each intervention)
  • Validation of Packaging/Labeling User Needs Based on Interview Responses(At baseline, prior to any interventions)
