I'm not sure how well the test would work for that purpose. You would think that if the woman asks her husband or "significant other" to open wide so she could run this big Q-Tip around on the inside of his cheek, he just might suspect something fishy was going on.

Toothbrush. Drinking glass or beer can. Cigarette butt. Blue dress. "Other body fluid". Not so hard to get DNA.

You are right, of course, if a forensic lab does the testing. I'm not sure that this inexpensive self-test would work with those items. Would the lab accept and test a toothbrush instead of the swabs provided in the test kit? Would they open themselves up to liability in such a case? I'll bet their lawyers will tell them not to do it.

These things will have to work themselves out over time and in the courts.
