Making of PregRx

The current process of home pregnancy testing is very cumbersome, wasteful, and regressive. A lady is expected to sit, pee, and capture urine in a bottle/tumbler, before using a dropper and putting a few drops onto a plastic testing cassette. The current process leads to plastic overuse, for every pregnancy test involves plastic in some form or the other. The use of so many elements also makes home pregnancy testing uneconomical, while impacting the accuracy of the results. Most women also find the current process extremely nauseating.

Deep Bajaj, Founder – PeeBuddy: Sirona, said, "As a start-up, we exist to solve intimate and menstrual hygiene issues that Indian women face, but which are either not discussed or not addressed. We successfully solved the issue of wiping dirty toilet seats with PeeBuddy, which sold a million units and have also introduced many category-defining products under the Sirona range. These include India's first herbal feminine pain relief patch which frees women from hot water bottle/pain killers, Sirona Disposal Bags for clean & discreet disposal of sanitary products, SironaTampons both with and without an applicator, Sirona Menstrual Cups, etc."

"In one of our focus groups, young mothers shared their stories about home pregnancy testing and called it cumbersome & annoying! We decided to look deeper into the process and realised that we could significantly streamline it by integrating HCG test strips with PeeBuddy, thereby simplifying the entire process in terms of use while reducing wastage. With PeeBuddy PregRx, women would now simply be able to test pregnancy anywhere without needing any other accessory,"Deep added.

Utilization of funds through crowdfunding Deep said, "The product is ready and has already been tested extensively. However, as this product is for all women, we need everyone's help to spread awareness about this innovative solution. The funds raised through crowdfunding on ImpactGuru.com would be used to develop other variants and a part of it would also go towards marketing."

Khushboo Jain, Co-Founder and COO, ImpactGuru.com said, "Crowdfunding has evolved to become an important medium especially for social innovators in creating awareness and raising funds for various causes. We at ImpactGuru are thrilled to help PeeBuddyPregRX in a bid to impact the lives of millions of women in India and abroad. I hope that many people, especially women, come forward to support this wonderful cause and help make it the leading product in this category."
