Yeah I RTed the other thread initially but I looked at the research about how much using a digital sensor increases accuracy of readings compared to eyeballing in the wild and it's significant Just blithely calling the digital tests "waste" is a bad takehttps://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/1301786032136835072 …

I don't actually know what the stats are on how many people who use pregnancy tests are "heavy users" (i.e. people trying to get pregnant every month) vs "one-time users" (people trying NOT to get pregnant having a pregnancy scare)

But the latter group is a substantial market, and they would have no use for a 50-pack of tests however cheap it was, and even if they're quite poor, $7 for a 2-pack (which is all they really need) is not all that much money In return for peace of mind

Yeah so looking this over this is just really thoughtless and condescending The reusable reader has no use case The whole use case of the disposable digital reader is the "terrified teenage girl" scenario or similarhttps://twitter.com/Foone/status/1301741893852696576?s=19 …

I mean pregnancy tests specifically are not my lane or my area of expertise or whatever But single use disposable shit in general actually does usually exist for a good reason and people tend to constantly use disposability for cheap dunks without thinking it through

Like if you actually think about it at all telling the average person in desperate need of a pregnancy test at the drugstore that for the same money they could get a reusable reader with a pack of FIFTY pregnancy tests is incredibly fucking stupid

Ovulation tests are an example where you do use a lot each month, and also can choose cheap strips vs fancier tech. Some now come with a suggested app you load pics into to help interpret the findings bc yeah a faint line (that's sort of time sensitive to read) is not foolproof!

Someone in a fertility group I'm in asked about brands w less packaging so she could cut down on waste. Fertility products are chosen for good reasons like readability and I really resent idea that people using them are guiltier than others of contributing to waste stream.
