No time to duck down to the pharmacy to grab a home pregnancy test?
According to a bizarre new fad, all you need is a tube of toothpaste to tell you if you’re expecting!
Interested? Mix a small amount of your urine with a dab of toothpaste in a bowl. If you’re pregnant, say fans of the test, then the toothpaste will change colour and maybe froth. If you’re not pregnant, nothing will happen.
Sounds crazy? Well there’s a growing number of women using the test and explaining the process on YouTube.
But experts aren’t sold.
‘The fizz in the toothpaste is caused by the acid in the urine reacting with the calcium carbonate in the toothpaste to give off carbon dioxide,’ Pharmacist Stuart Gale told Huffington Post.
‘The more acidic the urine is, the greater the fizz. Whether or not a person is or isn’t pregnant wouldn’t make any difference.’
