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 to 4 sites. Differences in the number of participants is based on microbial qualifications.

Pre-assignment details

Participants were randomized to be treated with at least 2 treatments/ Arms (out of 3) at the same time for both groin and abdomen. Total numbers represent sites not the individual number of participants.
