How easy are the test instructions to follow?
The tests come with a small black and white leaflet with a couple of diagrams and a lot of medical jargon. Not the most user-friendly! If this was my first pregnancy test it would have been really overwhelming.
There was some information that just seemed unnecessary, like specifying the temperature of the urine sample which didn’t give me a lot of reassurance that I would be able to do the test correctly. In the end, the test worked like all pregnancy tests do, so it was actually very straightforward.

How does the One Step Pregnancy Test work?
There's a little bit of set up to do with the One Step strip test, but once I had everything prepped, actually taking the test was very straightforward. You pee in a cup/sample pot, dip test up to the line for 10-15 secs and wait. There’s a line that shows really clearly where to dip up to which reassured me I was doing it correctly.
How long did it take to show a result?
The box said three minutes, but my result showed in five seconds.
How does the One Step Pregnancy Test compare to others?
I found that the instructions on the Boots Pregnancy Test Strips were a easier to follow than the One Step, but the results came far quicker and clearer on this test. It's a little messier than the more premium tests such as Clearblue and First Response because you need extra items and a flat non-absorbant surface to rest the test on while you wait for the result, but the benefit is that there's a lot less plastic waste, not to mention the cost!
