Why We Love Them

It’s not always a wildly comfortable experience walking into the drug store and picking up female wellness medicine or take-home tests. Now, envision a seamless experience where your ovulation kit, pregnancy test, and/or UTI pain relievers are discreetly delivered to your door, meaning you get to avoid your local pharmacy all together. That’s Stix, and we’re so happy they’re here to help.

Origin Story

Stix was born out of a seemingly unimaginable experience. One that, when we do imagine it happening, we’re instantly greeted with nausea: running into your boyfriend’s mother while purchasing a pregnancy test. Co-Founder Cynthia Plotch recalls her run-in being “as bad as it sounds…a moment that really opened [her] eyes to how totally broken the market was and made [her] want to fix it.” Teaming up with friend and co-worker Jamie Norwood, Plotch set out to create a safe space in the women’s wellness world that felt intimate and accessible. Their vision? Offer a comfortable way for women to buy the health products that they typically avoided buying in person at all cost. With their launch in 2019 of an at-home pregnancy test delivered straight to your doorstep, success ensued and allowed them to expand their offerings into ovulation tests and UTI products.

The Science & The Soul

The Science

Stix Pregnancy Tests deliver over 99% accuracy in five minutes. They’re FDA regulated and give clear results. No faint lines and post-test questions here, people. Their easy-to-use at-home UTI tests have been clinically-tested. They’re FDA-certified, urologist-approved, and provide results in just 2 minutes. Every test is accompanied by jargon-free instructions to take the mystery out of your medical inquiries. All how-to’s, from how the tests work, how to take the tests, and how to read the results are readily available online, making what can seem overwhelmingly scientific rather digestible. It’s no wonder Stix has repeat customers.
