    i did it today,the powder its self is green,was yrs too? anyway it turned into dark brownish green, and dark black grains sat in the bottom i wonder what was that.
    what do u think ?

  2. April Says:

    I forgot to add my comment here- our powder was teal/blue in color to start. When the reaction happened, everything fizzed in the jar and turned dark brown. I took pictures- lol Let me know if you need to see them for comparison.

    From the Bob & Tom site, it said if there was brown and reaction, it’s a boy. If there’s not really a reaction and stays blue/green, that’s a girl.

    Had my ultrasound yesterday and I believe the Drano- We’re having a boy!!

    i was so happy to read about the draino test i did for my friend and I have been sworn to secrecy i did the test with out her and can not even tell her, i saw your picture and i was always told if the test was a muddy brown it was a girl and if it was a muddy brown with a blue foam and or tint to the urine it was a boy. and my test/her test was the blue brown don’t want to tell her even that cause she already has 2 boys. the reason why this test works has everything to do with biology. boys are acidic and girls are alkaline so the crystles react with the waiste products from the mom and baby if the baby is the same sex as the mom it would be a muddy brown causing all the crystals to react but if you were having a boy the alkaline would nutralize the sample and the blue crystals would not react. so it goes as follows

    recipe: mix in med GLASS jar with tight lid

    1/4 cup first morn urine (past 20 weeks)or so
    1 TBS crystal draino
    add them together and cover right away.
    swirl around a couple of times and set the container down
    don’t touch it because it gets very very very hot.

    if it is a browish blue/TEAL it is a BOY
    if it is a muddy brown/black it is a GIRL

    have lots of fun NOT 100% but really close
    I gave this test recipe to many friends and they have ALWAYS ALWAYS come out correct and that has been about 20-30 people!

    i did it for both my kids when i was pregnant and it worked for both. Yellowish brown is girl, greeny/blue is boy

    I’m confused. Every website says something different when it comes to the color=gender. Mine turned blue/green. Some say girl and some say boy. What is it? Please email me if you know for sure. Thanks!

    i done drano test when i was about 17 weeks pregnant, my test took a while to change and the colour was the same as yours or even closer colour – the colour of the back ground of this page. on the side of the pot it had two colours orange girl and this colour boy, i had a scan it confirmed a boy, but i hope its wrong as i have two boys already..

    My cousin actually took the Drano test and it predicted a girl, but she went to the ultrasound, they told her it was a boy. Guess what came out? A girl!!!! SO my whole family goes by the Drano test now, and it has worked for the rest of my family.

    My sister did the test and there was a chemical reaction like a volcano in a science experiment. Are there any other reports like this?

  12. alicia Says:

    I keep reading different stuff. How far along do I need to be to take this test? Taking it after 20 weeks would be pointless cause Im going to find out at 20 weeks. Are there different draino crystals? and Ive read alot of different colors too some say if it doesnt change color at all =girl IDK what to go by

  13. matt Says:

    they sell draino in a bottle called “Intelligender” for $35
    this is just like it

    • April Says:

      Why spend $35 when you can spend $8 on Drano? And I think the two are just about as accurate. I’ve had several friends do the Intelligender and end up with the opposite gendered child than what was predicted.

  14. Kimberly Says:

    According to the instructions I have I am having a girl. But now hearing all these of variations of testing and colors I am confused.

  15. ans Says:

    It was accurate with both of ours. As for my sister.

  16. cwieberdink Says:

    I’ve used the draino test for ALL SEVEN of my kids and it’s been accurate for ALL SEVEN (and so was the ring test). I have 2 boys and 5 girls. I’m pregnant again now, and we’ll be doing the draino test at about halfway through.

    The real colors are: brown/black = BOY, blue/green = GIRL
