Whether you’ve been trying to conceive for months on end or you’re crossing your fingers that your missed period was just a fluke, taking a home pregnancy test is no stress-free
task. Not only is there anxiety that comes with waiting for your results, but there’s also the fear that a family member or partner will go snooping through your trash can, like a pesky dad on a teen sitcom, to find a bit of a surprise.
Luckily, Lia is here to alleviate at least one of those concerns. Today, the company launched the first and only flushable and biodegradable pregnancy test on the market. Just as with other home pregnancy tests, Lia analyzes urine for small amounts of hCG a hormone that’s produced when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus and is more than 99 percent accurate at detecting pregnancy when used the day following your missed period, according to the company. (Hold on, how accurate are pregnancy tests anyway?)
