Accuracy and Safety - Mercury-free Glass Basal Thermometer
An innovation in preconception and fertility products, the Fairhaven Health Glass Basal Thermometer is a mercury-free and non-toxic alternative to mercury thermometers, that is designed specifically for Basal Body Temperature (BBT) charting.
Our glass basal thermometer is family- and earth-friendly, yet is certified for accuracy – critical in BBT charting. This safe, easy-to-use basal thermometer comes with its own magnifying lens built into a no-break carrying case.
This glass basal thermometer contains absolutely no mercury, using a safe, liquid alloy instead. Concerns about mercury have been featured prominently in the news, and many states are requiring that mercury-containing thermometers be recalled by manufacturers due to toxicity and related health hazards, particularly for pregnant and trying-to-conceive women.

Great thermometer, great service from Fairhaven
March 20, 2012
Due to possible PCOS, I read about basal temp monitoring and picked this thermometer: 1. It's mercury free. 2. It doesn't use batteries and is better for the environment. 3. I think digital gives less consistent measurements.
This thermometer is easy to clean, no plastic slip covers needed (less waste!) and full-proof to use. To get the mercury down, I put the encased thermometer in an old sock, and twirl the sock. (Read this online, it works!)
The only con is that it's a little wide and awkward to hold in my mouth at first. But now, it's comfortable.
Lastly, thank you Fairhaven for rapid shipping and friendly, gracious customer service on the phone.

Lovely product, but easily breakable.

I used it to chart my BBT for practicing the Fertility Awareness Method of birth control. I love the glass thermometer much better than my electric one. Unfortunately, as I was shaking it down one evening it slipped out of my hands and shattered. They are a little expensive, so I haven't been able to buy another one.
Pros:Accurate readings and more aesthetically pleasing than electric thermometers.Cons:Easily breakable. |

Love this thermometer

I tried a bunch of different basal body thermometers when I was first charting a few years ago. I tried various digital ones, and was always a bit unsettled about it not knowing when the batteries started to die and when the readings became less accurate. This mercury-free battery-free thermometer takes out the guess work and lasts well for years. I have one at home and one for travel, and trust them fully. Glad they continue to be made! I refer all my natural fertility awareness friends to this exact thermometer.
Pros:accurate results in 5 minutes good carrying travel case, very sturdy no batteries, works forever cute and simpleCons:not as fast as a digital |

Good accurate measurements. You do have to shake down the mercury after each use, which isn't specified in the instructions. Old-fashioned reliability.
