Lia, a completely flushable and biodegradable pregnancy test, will be the first of its kind to hit the market.
‘It’s been the same stick test since 1987, and that’s kind of crazy,’ Lia co-founder Bethany Edwards told TechCrunch.
Lia will react to wee in the same way as a regular test, with it showing two lines for ‘pregnant’ and one line for a negative result.

The test will be made from the same natural plant fibre as toilet roll.
It’s designed to withstand liquid for long enough to show pregnancy results but upon being flushed, it will biodegrade.
And just like the current products on the market, it’ll deliver 99 per cent accurate results.
Lia will be available to buy on Amazon mid-2018 and will be priced between £6.70 to £16.39.
