Liz Paul lives with her husband
Tom and their three children in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
Liz realised the need for a clear and easy to use home
testing kit when it was feared her nephew had contracted
meningitis “My sister, who had lost her son to Leukaemia,
phoned me in a panic as James had developed a rash and
she couldn’t remember whether it should fade or stay in
the tumbler test. After finding the answer in a medical
book, I realised mothers needed a device which would provide
them with an answer immediately.” Following extensive research
and feedback from first and second-time mums, Menitest™
was born.
“This is the most important invention I’ve ever conceived
(Liz has also invented a “Little patch of willpower” helping
women resist the cravings of chocolate and Scentuelle and
SFM libido patches for men and women) to know Menitest™
will help mothers in time of panic is enormously rewarding.
I hope the product does what it says and brings peace of
mind to parents!”
