At-Home DNA Test | Discreet & Accurate Testing Using Toothbrush, Hair, Earwax & More

5-7 Day Results for Discreet DNA Samples

Once your DNA samples are received and accepted by the laboratory for processing, results are typically completed and emailed within 5-7 business days - and in many cases, even sooner.

We understand that waiting for DNA answers can feel emotional, stressful, and overwhelming. That is why My Forever DNA® does things differently. We provide a fast, transparent, and fully supported testing experience, so you are never left wondering what comes next.

With My Forever DNA®, you receive:

• Personal email confirmation from your dedicated DNA Specialist when your DNA samples are received, giving you direct access to a real person for check-ins, questions, or clarification.
• A clear turnaround timeline so you know when to expect your results after your samples have been accepted for processing.
• Secure, easy-to-read, full-color PDF results delivered by email, so you can download, save, or print your results for your records.
• No confusing portals, no barcode activation, and no automated, impersonal communication. Just personalized guidance for life’s most important family answers.

Please note: Results are processed and emailed Monday through Friday only. Weekends and holidays are not included in the 5-7 business day turnaround time.

For comparison, standard cheek-swab DNA tests are typically completed within 1-3 business days after samples are received and accepted by the laboratory. However, because this test may use alternative or discreet DNA samples instead of standard cheek swabs for one or more participants, the samples must first go through additional review and processing within the laboratory’s advanced forensic DNA department. Alternative DNA samples may require extra handling, evaluation, and preparation before testing can be completed, which is why the turnaround time is longer than a standard cheek-swab DNA test.

The Human Advantage Behind Every Accurate DNA Result

We understand how personal, emotional, and important DNA testing can be. That is why My Forever DNA® does things differently by creating a more private, guided, and human DNA testing experience from start to finish.

You should not have to receive life-changing DNA test results through an impersonal portal with no clear way to speak to a real person.

Once your DNA samples arrive at the laboratory, your case is assigned to a Dedicated DNA Specialist who helps guide the process and keep you informed.

• Direct phone and email communication with a real person
• Personal confirmation when your DNA samples are received and placed into processing
• Clear timelines and expectations so you know what happens next
• Support before, during, and after results if you have questions or need clarification
• No barcode registration, no kit activation, and no confusing online portal to navigate

My Forever DNA® provides a private, guided DNA testing experience backed by real human support when family answers matter most.

How Our Discreet Home Paternity DNA Test Works

The My Forever DNA Discreet Home Paternity DNA Test is designed for situations where a standard cheek swab is not possible, preferred, or available from one or more participants.

This private at-home paternity DNA test allows one participant to provide an alternative DNA sample instead of a cheek swab, helping you get answers before having difficult conversations or involving others unnecessarily.

What Is Included With the Starting Kit?

Starting at $239.00, this kit includes:

• Testing for one alleged father and one child
• One alternative DNA sample for one participant
• Standard cheek swabs for the other participant
• Discreet at-home collection materials
• Simple sample collection and return instructions
• Private results delivery
• Real support from My Forever DNA® Specialists

When Should You Choose This Test?

This test may be a good option if:

• A standard cheek swab is not possible from one participant
• One participant is unavailable for standard cheek swab collection
• You need a more private or discreet testing option
• You want peace of mind before having difficult conversations
• You prefer to submit a personal item that may contain DNA
• You want real guidance instead of a confusing online portal

Accepted Alternative DNA Samples

Alternative DNA samples may include:

• Toothbrushes
• Nail clippings
• Hair with root attached
• Earwax swabs
• Chewed gum
• Used tissues
• Dental floss
• Razor debris
• Dried blood stains
• Other personal items that may contain DNA

For best results, alternative samples should be dry, handled carefully, and packaged according to the instructions provided.

Can I Submit More Than One Alternative DNA Sample?

Yes. Because alternative DNA samples must contain enough usable DNA, some customers choose to submit more than one sample for the same person.

You may add additional alternative DNA samples at checkout if:

• You want to increase the chance of recovering viable DNA
• You are unsure which sample may work best
• Both the alleged father and child need to provide alternative DNA samples
• You want the lab to have more than one sample option for a participant

Step 1: Choose Your Testing Option

Select the Discreet Home Paternity DNA Test Kit that best fits your situation.

The base kit includes one participant providing an alternative DNA sample and the other participant providing a standard cheek swab. If both participants need alternative samples, or if you want to submit multiple samples for one person, simply add the additional sample option at checkout.

Step 2: Receive Your Discreet At-Home DNA Test Kit

Your kit is shipped directly to you in discreet, unmarked FedEx packaging with simple instructions and return materials.

There is:

• No barcode activation
• No confusing online portal
• No complicated registration process
• No unnecessary stress

Step 3: Collect and Package Your Samples

Collect the standard cheek swab from one participant and prepare the alternative DNA sample for the other participant.

Carefully follow the instructions provided to help protect the sample and improve the chance of recovering usable DNA.

Step 4: The Lab Reviews the Alternative Sample for Viability

Before full paternity testing can begin, the alternative DNA sample must be reviewed to determine whether enough usable DNA can be recovered.

If viable DNA is found, the laboratory moves forward with paternity testing. If the sample does not contain enough usable DNA, our team will contact you about your options, including submitting another alternative DNA sample for an additional processing fee.

Step 5: Paternity Testing Is Completed

Once viable DNA is confirmed, the lab compares the child’s DNA profile to the alleged father’s DNA profile.

Testing is performed through a trusted U.S.-based AABB-accredited and CAP-certified laboratory partner using:

• 24 DNA genetic markers
• Dual processing for added confidence
• Advanced forensic DNA testing methods

When paternity is confirmed, results may show a 99.999%+ probability of paternity.

Step 6: Receive Your Results Privately

Once testing is complete, your results are delivered privately and with care.

With My Forever DNA®, you receive real human support from our DNA Specialists, not just an automated system or confusing portal.

Important Note About Alternative DNA Samples

Alternative DNA samples are not guaranteed to contain usable DNA. Viability testing fees are non-refundable because the laboratory must attempt to recover DNA from the sample provided.

Submitting a fresh, dry, and properly handled sample may improve the chance of successful DNA recovery.
