Okay, but should indicate on the package/photos that separate urine cup is required.
This test is not super intuitive and is a bit impractical.For starters, these strips aren't the kind you can conveniently just urinate ON. You have to urinate in a cup and then dip the strip to yield results, similar to pool chemical test strips. The instructions inside the package indicate that this approach was taken as the manufacturer wanted to use less plastic in the product's construction, to be more eco-friendly. While this is a good thing in principal, I found it somewhat problematic from a function perspective, as I'm effectively left either having to find a sterile cup in my home that I don't mind getting urine in, or ordering a specific cup to be used for urine tests (something done relatively infrequently in our home). Either option is a bit unpleasant, but fair enough.Then comes the reading of the results, which also seemed unintuitive compared to other urine tests I've used in the past. I felt it wasn't evident which way you should be reading the test, as the first line is so close to the handle. I ended up spending a fair bit of time trying to simultaneously look at the test and read/re-read the instructions to figure my way through to a result.Overall, just wasn't as simple an experience as I'd have liked it to be.With all of that said, I feel if I'd had a silicone urine cup, if I was accustomed to using these tests (say, after a few tries), I would consider these to be decent tests, and of fair to good value. All in all, could be better, could be worse.Having said that, once you get the ha v of it, and you have a designated cup, the value is good as there are 5 packs in the box.

That said, I can only vouch for their efficacy of an accurate NEGATIVE, and cannot relay the ease of reading a positive result, nor how quickly one may experience that information based on expected conception date.
My usage: 12pm, hydrated (mild yellow pee), results under 2 min, very single dark purple line.
Pros:
-these instructions are clear, aesthetic, and feel very accessible (in English). I can imagine if you've never taken a test before, or are perhaps a younger nervous person, these are really comforting and cover all bases of questions, including how/why it works. The links to FAQs and social sites make it feel like you could have somewhere to go privately if you are confused or maybe need additional support after results.
-You can easily take these with you anywhere due to how slim they are.
-Less plastic/packaging for planet earth! YaY! But this DOES affect how you use it, see* below.
-affordability! I have seen others on amazon for a very good price of 3/for $8, but there is a lot of packaging/waste involved, which I don't prefer
"Meh":
-The expiry date plus amount of these might be a little soon for those not trying to conceive. For example, if I was someone not trying to conceive and wanted to know early (or my period was late) and I got a negative, I'd just wait another week for the period to come. The chances of me needing three more of these in 6 months is slim if I were the type of person very concerned about not getting pregnant.
(However if you are trying to conceive, I can see wanting this many for double checking, or checking monthly).
-As others have pointed out, no cup, and it is NOT* recommended to just pee on this as you would your average pregnancy test. But again, if the point is to reduce waste, I understand not sending one.
Cons:
-I can see someone misinterpreting a single light purple or grey "inconclusive" line as "negative," which could be problematic. There aren't any real size alignments to compare it to, as the ones on the back of the packaging are smaller than the stick.
-On the "Photoready card to hold your result for a handwritten note" - I had NO IDEA WHAT THIS WAS until I went to the amazon page where I ordered it. I don't think it's in the instructions. I thought it had something to do with how to read the lines on the strip, so I was lost for a bit. Once I realized what it was, I had no idea how it was meant to show/hold the stick. (And like anyone *seeing* the stick would understand how to read it...). There should be a picture for the use of this.
