Vending Machine Stocks Pregnancy Tests

Commuters at some railway stations in Switzerland are finding a new convenience via a vending machine: pregnancy tests.

The Austrian Times reports that pregnancy testing kits are being stocked in the machine at stations during a month-long trial.

Makers Maybe Baby said the idea is that women will not have to be embarrassed by buying a test from a pharmacist.

"We've had a few demands for refunds where people thought they were getting chocolate but they seem to be very popular," a rail worker told the Austrian Times.

The Daily Mail said a sex clinic in London is trying something similar by offering teens pregnancy tests and infection checks from a vending machine originally meant for soda drinks.
