    UTI Test Strips

    I don't know if this is a good place to post this, but here goes nothing!

    I am really thinking about purchasing at home test strips to determine if all my pains are IC or UTI related. I am reading multiple reviews for different companies and different results, so I thought I'd come here where I can trust my IC friends

    What brand/type of urine strips do you purchase and trust?

    I've always used Azo. I hardly ever have an infection but I keep them around just in case.

      AZO is a good brand. The strips aren't 100% but they can give you an idea of whether an infection is a possibility.

        I use AZO as well - I find them to be accurate and they come with a $1 coupon. I always keep a box in the house .
