The guidance for the last month has been that they insert it into each nostril for at least 15 seconds out here. Curious if they do the tests differently in certain locations.

The first 2-3 I had were for 15 and I will say yes the last 4-5 seconds does get uncomfortable but not a big deal.
The more recent tests have also been 5 seconds.bone in each nostril and nothing in the throat. I've definitely had different style of tests but I do not recall the names. They are also using a better style of swab in my opinion that makes it substantially more comfortable.
Even for the more uncomfortable longer time style tests it's something you forget about pretty much immediately afterwards.
