Participant flow
Recruitment details
Upon achieving sufficient microbial growth prior to product application on either the abdomen, groin or both abdomen and groin regions, sites of the participant were then randomized to receive one or two products for evaluation for up 4 sites. Differences in the number of participants is based on microbial qualification.
Pre-assignment details
The sites of the participant were tested for microbial activity after product application. In some instances, more than one product could have been applied to a participant but only one product per site (groin and/or abdomen sites). Up to 4 sites could be treated: 1)both groin and abdomen, 2) only the groin or 3) only the abdomen.
