Giant Co. Offering Comprehensive UTI Care
More than 200 locations of The Giant Co. across Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia are now offering a revolutionary new product from vaginal and sexual wellness brand Stix. The partnership is the brand’s first foray into physical retail as it broadens its mission to transform the over-the-counter women's health aisle with innovative, non-judgemental, educational products, according to Stix co-founders Jamie Norwood and Cynthia Plotch.
The Giant Co. shoppers can now purchase Stix’s UTI Test and Treat, a product that addresses women’s most common outpatient infections, those of the urinary tract. The comprehensive care encompasses digital testing, diagnosis and a QR code for scannable clear results. After taking the test at home and receiving their results, users can connect with a doctor for just $15 and receive a prescription if the test is positive. The prescription can be filled at the patient’s pharmacy of choice.
