Women weren’t required in U.S. clinical research until June 10, 1993. In 2026, we’re still decades behind.
That’s why Evvy made June 10 into #EqualResearchDay. A day to promote inclusive research, tell our stories, and raise awareness for the gender health gap.

When Clarindria's persistent itching went unexplained for years, she kept searching for answers. An Evvy Vaginal Health Test helped uncover a vaginal microbiome imbalance — and a path forward.

Four years ago, most people had never heard the term "vaginal microbiome." Now, even biohackers with millions of followers are talking about it.
Evvy co-founder & CEO Priyanka Jain spoke with @thisisflowspace about what's driving that shift.

Thank you for bringing vaginal microbiome testing into the conversation! This is one of the most overlooked areas of female health and it deserves the spotlight.
I've been testing mine for years (also a 100% protective score, 0% disruptive). Interesting for men to know if considering oral sex, but it's a foundational pillar of female health that every woman should understand.
An imbalanced vaginal microbiome is linked to:
Recurrent yeast infections and BV
Chronic UTIs
Increased susceptibility to STIs (including HPV persistence and progression)
Fertility challenges and lower IVF success rates
Higher risk of preterm birth and pregnancy complications
Pelvic inflammation and chronic pain
Hormonal disruption (the microbiome influences estrogen metabolism)
Systemic inflammation that impacts cardiovascular and metabolic health
Higher risk of certain gynecologic cancers
A Lactobacillus-dominant microbiome lowers vaginal pH, strengthens the mucosal barrier, and produces compounds that regulate immune signaling throughout the entire body. This isn't just a "down there" issue, it's whole-body health.
More women need access to this testing, and more practitioners need to be talking about it. Grateful you're using your platform to push the conversation forward.

This is her vaginal microbiome report. 100/100 score.
Top 1% of all vaginas.
Her sample is dominated by the single most protective bacterial species a vagina can host (Lactobacillus crispatus).
Only about 25-30% of reproductive age women globally are L. crispatus-dominant, and “dominant” usually means above 50%. Kate is at 98.7%.
The lab found nothing bad to report. (no gardnerella, Candida, STIs, opportunistic pathogens, aerobic vaginitis markers, etc.)
This is linked to lower risk of BV, UTIs, yeast infections, HPV persistence, HSV-2 and HIV acquisition, preterm birth, and improved IVF outcomes.
A vaginal microbiome is downstream of everything: sleep, glucose control, stress, gut health, sexual health, immune function, what you eat, and what you put in it.

Postpartum recovery deserves more attention. 🫶

Are you a women’s health company that’s had ads rejected by Meta, Google, or TikTok for using words like vagina or infection? Us too.
That’s why Evvy co-founder @lainebruzek is heading to #SXSW next week to talk about platform censorship and women’s health. 🧵 (1/4)

As Bruzek told The Austin Chronicle: “Our education, where we are actually talking about vaginal health, and we’re using the correct anatomical terms, or we are talking about infections … that will get blocked.”

This challenge has only intensified post-Roe, with more women’s health content flagged as “social issues” or “sensitive.” But access to accurate info about our bodies shouldn’t be controversial.
If you're in Austin, come join the conversation. 🗣️⤵️ schedule.sxsw.com/2026/event… (4/4)
