  • How they started Stix after having terrible experiences buying pregnancy tests - Cynthia actually ran into her boyfriend’s mom!

  • Pregnancy tests and tampons locked up at stores mean you have to ask somebody to unlock them (totes humiliating!)

  • The pink tax--why there’s a movement to eliminate the tax on tampons and other NECESSARY feminine products while dudes get their stuff tax free

  • How traditional pregnancy tests are locked in the dark ages of marketing--hullo, not everyone wants to see pictures of babies on the box
