What's actually in your tap water

Pb

Lead

Over 9.2 million American homes still receive water through lead service lines. There is no safe level of lead exposure for children - even low levels cause irreversible learning disabilities and behavioral problems.

PFAS (Forever Chemicals)

Found in the blood of 97% of Americans. These "forever chemicals" never break down in the environment and are linked to cancer, thyroid disease, liver damage, and immune system suppression in children.

Microplastics

A 2024 study found microplastics in 100% of human placentas tested. An average person ingests roughly 5 grams of plastic per week - the equivalent of a credit card. Standard filters like Brita don't remove them.

I'm ThoughtfulMom

Once I found out what was in my home and my water, I couldn't unknow it. So I did what I always do - I researched. I tested. I compared. And then I started sharing what I found with other families.

Every product I recommend is something I actually use for my family. I don't do sponsorships. I share what works and I'm honest about what doesn't.

A mom who went down the rabbit hole so you don't have to.
