Old pregnancy test sticks like these were a huge step forward, and meant that millions of women finally had a way to find out they were pregnant without going to the doctor, and without having to do a more complicated chemistry-style vintage liquid pregnancy test.

In fact, more than 30 years later, while today’s test kits are faster and more accurate, they are still very much the same. Take a look!

Vintage 1980s Clearblue pregnancy test stick kit (1987)

YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO STUDY TO TAKE A PREGNANCY TEST.

A pregnancy test is useless if you can’t figure out how to use it. But test tubes, eye droppers, and a science book others call “the instructions” make most pregnancy tests hard to take.

Clearblue is the first pregnancy test without the complications. A simple three-step kit that uses the latest laboratory technology, and eliminates the laboratory hassles.

It’s designed around a special test stick. So there’s no messy measuring or mixing. No split-second timing. No nerve-racking precision. And no PhD in chemistry required.

All of which makes at a Clearblue over 99% accurate.* As early as the first day of your missed period, a simple color change tells you whether or not youre pregnant.

So get Clearblue. Because it’s time you graduated to a better pregnancy test.
