Unreliable product ! – My wife and I got this product from Chemist Warehouse. Two of the three purchased units are faulty ! We were heartbroken when the first one gave us a negative reading. We are still working out if she's pregnant or not. The second one didn't even gave us a reading !!! DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND. UNRELIABLE.

Crap – I bought a 3pack of crystal clear from our local chemist. 2 of the tests didnt even work. Most upset! First and last one didnt work. But the one in the middle did. I used exactly as the instructions said. Anoth $20 down the drain, wont be using that brand again

False positive – Had previously 2 miscarriages, thought I was pregnant again after getting a blue positive, but was false. Heart broken. Not fair. Should be removed from the shelves. Do not buy crystal clear because you will be heartbroken. Get a better pregnancy test instead. Depressing and angry a way to mess with a women.

Cute little tests – I loved these pregnancy tests. I loved that i could hold it up to the light and try to squint to see the lines because there was no back on the display strip area. They are easy to use, and if you have restraint, you could even leave the lid over the display window until the test time was up. The only problem is because it does use blue die, the… Read more

chance of evap lines is increased and i did have a very convincing evap line right on 10 minutes. The see through display window Blue dye

Perfect results everytime – With Both Of my pregnancies I used crystal clear to test for being pregnant since i had missed my period, and accurate positive results each time. Simple to use and accurate, I would recommend it to anyone. I have also tested at other times when late for period and it was negative, which was correct. Reliable, affordable, simple to use

Excellent – When I went to the GP to confirm my pregnancy they asked if I did a test at home and they said that they tended to be quite accurate and sure effort it was correct. This brand is accurate and I like that you do not have wait until the morning to test. The price is cheap and it is good that they have more than one in a pack, so that you can do… Read more

another test if you want to confirm it again. It is easy to use and it is easy to read the results. nothing, I had no problems with it at all.

disappointed and angry – I bought this pregnancy test last night and tested this morning. My result was a thin BLUE line. My partner and I have been trying for three years so you can imagine my excitement when I thought I was pregnant. I took another brand and it was negative. I am not pregnant. I have been fooled by evap lines before, this test did not look like… Read more

evaporation. It had a second blue line. I will NEVER be buying this test again and I will warn everyone about them. Sort the quality out.

Repeated False Positives – Test after test after test showed a false positive result. Very excited, went online, saw some other devastated women complaining about the issue, rushed to the store to get two other brands (First Response and Clear Blue Digital) - all negative. This product should be removed from the shelves.

3 lines!! – I used this test today after my period was 1 week late and I immediately got a strong positive. At least I THINK it was a strong positive because I am not 100% sure on which line is the control line! I came back to look at it again about 5 minutes later and there were THREE lines!!!!!!! So ridiculous!! I've never heard of an evaporation line on a… Read more

positive test before?

I took a different brand test and got another strong positive which was much clearer! cheap evaporation lines! no idea which is the test line and which is the control line?

Useless test – I just recently tried the crystal clear pregnancy test, but have used many tests over the last few years. This is the first time I have not had the control line come up, showing that the test was therefore defunct. These tests are a waste of money and time, I will not be buying them again or recommending them to anyone. Inexpensive, easy to use Doesn't work

Crystal Clear thin blue line appears hours after – I like the clear window, the way you can hold it up to the light. I stared at my negative results for ages, even coming back to it hours later to find a second line. Very thin blue second line. Is this an evaporative line? is it a False positive? Is it an actual positive? It seems that 'Crystal Clear' is in fact Not so clear at all.... the clear screen, can hold up to light and see through it false positive

Never buy these – I got a very clear, blue positive with this test. I was so excited. I then followed up with other tests, expecting positives on them too, to find that were completely negative. I wasn't pregnant. Save yourself the heartache and never ever buy this test. They are not worth the hassle. cheap and that's the only pro give false positives. Cheap looking.

FALSE POSITIVE – This product should be removed from shelves. I got a very strong positive, yet subsequent tests from other brands 1 and 2 days later all negative. This kind of false reading can be very damaging to a person. Very upsetting, I dont recommend anyone purchase these, and suggest they be discontinued asap

Very disappointed – I took two tests with crystal clear and both of them didn't show up any results, not even a faded line. I followed the instructions and had used the product before so I am well aware of how it works. Very disappointed in this product and will not be buying it again. I guess it's cheap for a reason Faulty

Terrible – i was approx 6 weeks, 5 days when i took the test and it came back negative, with one line. went to the hospital, did a urine test, still came back negative. The next 2-3 days, went to doctors, did another urine test and it came back positive. went to my first ultrasound and sure enough, there the little one was. Now 17 weeks pregnant, still don't… Read more

trust any pregnancy tests, would much rather be 100 correct and go to local gp. They say its 99% accurate howver, i took the so called "worlds number one pregnancy testing" "90% accurate" blah blah, and it was still wrong. They say its so accurate yet it didnt pick mine up did it? Never trust home testing, your better off going into the docs and have them tell you the truth. :) i liked that it was a really easy test to take, without needing to pee in the cup that some tests usually come with. it was simple and easy. was not accurate for me

Terrible – I did the test first thing in the morning for 3 mornings over 6 days. I got negatives each time. I went to the doctor the same day as the last test and had a blood test. My HCG was 98, apparently these tests should pick up 20+. What a waste of money and cause of stress . Cheap It didn't register my pregnancy

False positive – This product gives false positives, had three independant friends also look at it and all confirm there was a line, not my imagination, took another brand test, it came back negative and the next day I started mestrating as normal and on time so it was not an early MC. I dont recommend you use this product. False positives

Do not trust a positive from this brand!!! – I followed the instructions to the letter. The line indicating a positive result came up instantly, and got darker over the waiting period. It was a definite positive. I saw my doctor within the hour, and as he was unfamiliar with Crystal Clear, he got me to do a second urine test, which was negative. He then stated that if the line came up… Read more

straight away, it could not be an "evaporation line", as these only appear after the test is completely dry inside. Only positive results show up straight away. He even congratulated me!

I insisted on a blood test though. I was devastated when the result came back as negative as well. My doctor asked me to use the second test a few days later. I did it at the doctors surgery, and he saw as I had that the positive result came up immediately, and then darkened over the waiting time. He did a test with a different brand from the same sample: negative. 2nd blood test: negative!

My doctor advised me to call the toll free number to advise the packet I bought was faulty.

I did, and I was shocked by what they said: They know that their product is giving false positives! They advised that when the error was verified by a doctor as it was in my case, they will happily send replacement tests (the Clearblue Digital response tests). They advised that they had received multiple complaints, and my description of the fault was consistent with these reports.

I asked if this product was to be recalled due to this very serious error. They said no, as most tests are not faulty and even if it gives a false positive, most people are pregnant when they use their product anyway!!!

I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years, and this was my very first positive result. I am heartbroken, so please do not put your hopes and trust into this product!!! It was inexpensive and the box is pretty It gave a definite false positive on both tests, and the manufacturer knows about this fault and have made no changes to the product!!!!

Horrible!!! – 3 months in a row I got 3 false positives! There was a definite positive blue line no mistake- followed instructions exactly. Don't buy this product. It should be taken off the shelf!! Cheap because it doesn't work!

I didnt find it to be Australia's No. 1 Brand – Gave me false positives when pink dye test and blood tests clearly showed negative. Best to test from missed period or later Cheap False negative

Excellent – I have used the tests at all times of the day and it was accurate in all times. (There's two in a box so you gotta make sure the first one was right!) Clear instructions, easy to use and results aren't ambiguous i.e. there's no wondering if that's a second line or not. Would use them again should the need arise. Price was affordable, accurate, easy to use with clear instructions

Bad – I personally don't like this brand of test. I found that the often have a strong evap line which can be confused with a faint positive. I probably wouldn't buy another one of these unless there was no other options. Overall, if you're more than a week late for your af then this test would be fine but I wouldn't use it if you're a POAS addict and… Read more

like to test before af is due. It's not really any good as an early pregnancy test. Thanks Easy to buy from most outlets Hard to view

Good – I found this one gave a good clear result fairly early (ie 12 days past ovulation) so it was a good indicator for me. I found it really easy to use and gave me peace of mind. Midstream is easier to use

Bad – Girls, if you really want some good old fashioned advice on pregnancy testing - find a 24hr medical clinic and it won't cost a thing as long as you have your medicare card or healthcare card on you at the visit. Have some blood taken for HCG test and in around 24hrs you will have yourself a result. It won't be a false negative or false positive… Read more

like these tests give you early on in the pregnancy, just a good clear result. That's what you wan't isn't it?! :) It is cheap and easy to use It is cheap and easy to use, hence the result is often a false negative as mine was.

Terrible – I think this brand of pregnancy test is very misleading. It says you can test before your due date.I did, and got a faint positive.When I did other tests of the same sensitivity they came up negative.So I phoned the tollfree number. I found their answers to be confusing and ill-informed.I was told I shouldn't do the test in less than 19 days post… Read more

sex, and that breastfeeding could give you a false positive! I have NEVER heard that before and I think they are just plain WRONG!I will never use this brand again,as it has left me feeling silly and heart-broken!I think they should give me a refund, but there was no offer! It gave me a positive! No other brand gave me a positive!

Excellent – This product has worked for me. I tested twice and got the same results and then confirmed with a doctor. this product is a reasonable price, very easy to use and the results are accurate. You can also use this test any time of the day not just in the morning.

Excellent – This is a great pregnancy test that comes with clear instructions and is simple to use. It is not messy and is very hygienic. It is also very accurate, providing the instructions are adhered to. It is available in most supermarkets as well as pharmacies. Unlike other pregnancy tests, it can be used at any time of the day is sturdy. The plastic… Read more

casing ensures that taking the test is not messy. Once the cap is on it can be put down while you wait for the results. It is great value. Easy to use, available in pharmacies and supermarkets, well priced, effective and accurate.

Good – Trustworthy brand, accurate rsults, nice and discreet when it's more wishful thinking than symptoms prompting using the test and comforting to be at home if disappointed by the result Easy to pick up at the supermarket or pharmacy, not as expensive as the digital tests, quick and easy to use, I always got accurate results Still quite expensive if… Read more

you are taking multiple tests monthly when trying to conceive (the option to buy in bulk would be much appreciated)

Excellent – This test gave me a result in a matter of seconds! I love that you have to pee on the stick as opposed to peeing in a cup which is very hard! Its not messy at all and is very accurate. Just pee midstream and then take it away after 5 seconds and finish your business. Its not hard at all. I took the test twice because i couldn't believe i was… Read more

pregnant. It gave me the same positive result in a matter of seconds! Available in all good pharmacies. the test itself looks and feels sturdy and of good quality. It sure beats those flimsy paper tests that give you a dodgy result. With Crystal Clear, the result is right there and very clear! very quick and accurate results Nothing really

Good – I would happily recommend this product to anyone.Also check the expiry date before buying.I think mine had just 2 months of use left. It worked for me and was the cheapest in the store Should detect any time-only the test done in early morning picked the pregnancy.

Excellent – This is a really good test. I have found it to be reliable. It is as easy to use as any on the market and it is cost effective. It is readily available and the packaging is small and discrete. It ticks all the boxes of what you would want from a pregnancy test. The mid stream method of this test is much easier and tidier than the cup test that… Read more

other tests are. It is good value for money. And for me it is a little sentimental as this was the test that advised me I was pregnant with my son. It is not the cheapest, (but it is the cheapest mid stream option so that is not really a con I guess)
