An awareness tool, not a substitute for medical advice
Step 1 of 7
What you put on your skin or use every day in the bathroom.
Do you use fragranced products (perfume, hairspray, nail polish, scented cream)?
The main everyday source of phthalates.
Do you apply perfume or eau de toilette directly on your skin several times a day?
Different from occasional use: what matters here is the repetition and the direct skin contact.
Do you apply more than 4 different cosmetic products in a day?
How many different cosmetic products do you use on an average day (cream, perfume, make-up, hair care...)?
What counts here is the total number combined, not one particular product.
Do you use "antibacterial" soaps, gels or toothpastes?
Do you use an antiperspirant deodorant containing aluminium salts?
Do you use a fluoride toothpaste?
Asked in order to put a very widespread claim into perspective.
Do you use conventional shampoos or hair care products on a daily basis?
The documented risk here concerns carcinogenicity, not fertility, unlike the other factors in this category.
Do you eat canned food or handle till receipts?
Do you wear water-repellent, stain-resistant or new unwashed clothes?
Do you use conventional disposable tampons, pads or liners?
Do you use fragranced intimate washes or practise vaginal douching?
How long has your hygiene routine looked like this?
You can leave a question unanswered: it will simply be excluded from the calculation.
