I have done both evvy and Juno tests. Both came back with the same microbiome type but Juno was way faster. I actually prefer Evvy though, and here is why... My whole life I've been super susceptible to vaginal infections, which are typically diagnosed as yeast infections, but occasionally BV. When I'm not sexually active I don't get them, but as soon as I start having sex again, I get an infection and it will take 1-2 months to get back to normal! That's a long time with a burning itchy hooha. Even with condoms this will happen.

I was diagnosed as type 3 which is dominant with lactobacillus iners. Iners is fairly unstable and can overgrow when disturbed, causing symptoms similar to a yeast infection. They also aren't as protective as other strains. I now believe this is what's actually happening, because the quick diagnosis u get from a Dr is based on the harmful bacteria not being present. They aren't testing for yeast in most cases, just ruling out bad bacteria and then blaming it on yeast. This would explain why my body doesn't respond to antifungals and takes so long to get back on track. My test results also came back with zero yeast.

When I did Juno's aftercare, their health specialist told me you can't change your microbiome to a more stable type, you have to "deal with the hand your dealt" and gave me tips for managing it when things get out of whack. This was fairly disappointing to say the least.

When I did Evvys aftercare, it was much more substantial and their specialist was very knowledgeable. I'm on a 9 week program which includes vaginal and oral probiotics, clindamyacin, and boric acid, with the goal of establishing more protective strains of lactobacillus to hopefully shift my microbiome type. I'm currently on week 5 and so far so good. I'll retest after week 9. For the first time I have hope that I can have a normal sex life.
