UTI Tests

Our UTI test is a simple, one-step process. First, feel free to wipe your urethra (where you pee from) with one of the pH balanced wipes. Then, pee on the test strip pads. After letting the results develop for two minutes, compare the test strip pads to the color chart on the test wrapper. Check out our full instructions here.

Hold the test strip up to each color block and match it to the closest color block on the chart on your test wrapper. The color on your test strip indicates if you are positive, negative, or have traces of nitrite and leukocytes.

If your UTI test shows a positive result, contact your primary care provider for assessment and treatment. While you wait for your appointment, drink lots of water, as staying hydrated helps flush your urinary tract of bacteria. If you're experiencing pain and discomfort, check out our UTI fast-acting pain relief to help alleviate UTI symptoms.

Our tests are clinically-tested at detecting common forms of UTIs. Remember, only a full urinalysis can detect every type of UTI. So if you have symptoms (even if you tested negative), please contact your primary care provider for assessment and treatment.

A pregnancy will not interfere with your UTI test results. However, you may get an inaccurate results if:

You're dehydrated or so overly-hydrated that your urine is diluted.

You experience color blindness (the test relies on color matching). Have someone check your results with you!

You're already taking any kind of antibiotic.

Your urine has a ph8, AKA you're experiencing kidney stones, severe vomiting, blood in your urine, or other factors that are altering your urine in major ways. In those cases, this test is not for you, but please talk to your primary care provider and take care.

You've been taking medicine or supplements that alter your urine color, such as drugs containing azo dyes (i.e. our UTI fast-acting pain relief, Pyridium, Azo Gantrisin, Azo Gantanol), nitrofurantoin (Microdantin, Furadantin), riboflavin.

Your UTI is caused by a bacteria that is not detectable by nitrite levels. This happens in a small number of cases and requires visiting your primary care provider.
