I've heard reports that they're not as awesome as the original. Have you used them/heard stories? What don't you like about the new, curved FRERs?
-
I used them
And thought they were fine. Didn't think they were any better or worse than old fre's. I do think there's less chance of splashing pee on them but I usually pee into a cup and dip so it didn't really affect me. -
I used them and still managed to pee on myself.
-
@pinkcupcake: Thanks for the input!
@avivoca: Motherhood is a glamorous thing, yes?
-
I thought the lines took a long time to show up (even the control line) and the lines weren't as dark and could be in weird places - not evenly spaced like the other ones. Also did my find them easier to use lol
-
@gotkimchi: This is the kind of stuff I'd heard. And that they didn't darken with time as consistently as the old kind. Iiiiiinteresting.
-
@mfa_lady: I mean it was still obvious I got a positive but with other tests as the liquid soaks up you could see a line appear instantly. These it was like the whole test had to saturate and then lines appeared
-
@mfa_lady: I've read about indent lines / Evap lines with them whereas the old FRER that never happened.
-
@winniebee: Boo. So frustrating!
-
I got indents on two I took back to back which was really frustrating. I pee in a cup anyway so the curved design doesn't benefit me. Haha
-
I didn't know they changed... I goggled it.
Very interesting!
-
@artsyfartsy: I pee in a cup as well b/c I get performance anxiety about making sure I hit the stick and gets messy. I used the curved one last time and the positive showed up very quickly. I think it did have a few indent marks like people have mentioned, but it didn't take away from the results for me!
I like that you're asking about this.
-
I have gotten a bad indent on one that it was totally obvious there was a line but I couldn't tell if it had color.
-
I just do not feel that the curved ones are as sensitive. I got a positive on a Wondfo AND a digital before getting a positive on the new FRER.
-
and plus, I just think that they look weird and ugly
-
@skipra: Yes, same. I'm battling the "is it an indent, is it a line" thing as we speak
-
@artsyfartsy: I need to get some new cups! Haha. I ran out before DD was born and I haven't restocked.
@Happygal: Bought some this morning!
@skipra: Super frustrating!
@Purpledaisy: So true. The others were so nice and classic.
-
Hate hate hate. It's the dumbest design to put the indent right by where you'd look for a line! I want to scour the shelves to see if there are any straight ones left.
-
I don't like them! I used it correctly and the control line barely showed up. And it happened again with the second test!
I bought two other brands which were positive.
-
I'm not a fan. It seems to take a long time for even the control line to show up. And it's still messy, curved handle or no.
-
@winniebee: let's see it!
-
@bushelandapeck: two different tests yesterday and today (9dpo)
-
Man, this makes me wanna go find the straight ones too and save them for later!
-
@Crystal: So annoying. Come on, people. Why mess with a good thing, right?! (Also, HI!)
@HLK208: @LindsayLou: Ugh. So frustrating!
@winniebee: Gosh, it really is so hard to tell!!!!
@snowjewelz: Same here. I haven't seen them anywhere though!
