in their words
From the women who use Teal
Different ages, different reasons, same comfort
Slightly nervous because I’ve never tried before. But it is SOOO much easier, comfortable, and safe feeling than going to a doctors office. I felt very safe and in control.
10/10 would absolutely recommend. This was the easiest thing and I did it in the comfort of my own home. No stress/fuss. The instructions were simple and the how to video was easy to follow. As a busy mom, I LOVED not having to go into another doctor appointment, because let’s be honest, I usually forsake those in order to keep everyone else. This busy mom approves and will be telling everyone that needs one about this.
Great experience! Very personable and knowledgeable nurse who explained the process. She made me feel comfortable with everything. Teal Health package had terrific instructions. Thank you for offering this opportunity! Otherwise, I would've skipped an exam for yet another year.
Built with empathy. Backed by science.
Care that finally feels like it was made for you.
Teal pairs our FDA-authorized at-home cervical cancer screening device with a full telehealth team — OBGYNs and nurse practitioners who review your results, answer your questions, and coordinate next steps, when needed.
Seeing the relief and pride women feel afterward has been profoundly motivating. It gives me so much hope for the future of women's health.
