Ph test strips vs Digital tester

[kobytoby]

Hi all,

I plan to sway in december and wanted to check my ph before i start the diet and supplements. I really dont want to spend much on the digital tester like hanah if the test strips will achieve the same goal. So here's my question(s)- do I really need the digital tester or are the strips just as good , which brand of test strip have you used and will recommend, is there an effective digital tester that is cheaper than the hanah brand

For me, I could never get a reading with the strips

I'm using the strips, never tried the digital one.
My strips keep telling me I am a 5 but they do change colour when I test DH and BS

dh wouldnt allow anymore purchases for something "hoaky"/undefinitive like this, even tho he is playing along. but ph isnt even really proven i guess, so for me i didnt want tospend the money and focus on that. i dont really need an accurate reading..just a round about guess is fien for me. if you are into pH and need it to be precise, then go for the digital.
swaying is all about what YOU make it to be i guess...;-)

I guess I might just go with the strips and hope it works for me. I saw some cheap digital testers on amazon ( for example; http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Digital-pH..._sbs_indust_27 ) I wonder how effective it is. Is hanah brand really the best or just the most common brand.

You need solutions... but the bottles I have have lasted forever. I store the used stuff in a small container and reuse it a few times.

I personally found that the strips worked great for me. Didn't help me conceive a girl tho!!
