GENERAL
What is Belly Armor?
Belly Armor by RadiaShield is the definitive resource for information and tools to protect children in the womb and newborn children against the risks of everyday radiation. Made with RadiaShield® fabric and the highest quality textiles, Belly Armor products provide baby-soft comfort, convenient safety, and reliable protection.
Why do I need Belly Armor products?
Over the past few years there has been growing evidence that exposure to everyday radiation may cause significant health risks, especially during pregnancy and early childhood. These risks have increased considerably over the past decade along with the prevalence of cell phones, computers, power lines, and other electronic devices.
Are Belly Armor products heavy?
The technology behind Belly Armor products, RadiaShield® fabric, is similar in weight to a super-lightweight cotton. Various Belly Armor products are available to complement your individual style and activities; but the RadiaShield® fabric maintains exceptional breathability and does not add materially to the weight.
Are Belly Armor products safe?
Yes. Belly Armor products are completely safe to use. However, as with all blankets, never leave babies unattended if using The Belly Blanket due to risk of suffocation.

How do Belly Armor products work?
Without getting too deep into the details, RadiaShield® fabric shields against everyday radiation by neutralizing incoming electromagnetic waves – similar to how noise canceling headphones work with sound waves or how a grounding wire neutralizes an electric current.

How do I know if Belly Armor products are working?
RadiaShield® fabric used in Belly Armor products have undergone rigorous internal and external testing to ensure maximum shielding effectiveness. Independent testing in FCC-recognized and NVLAP accredited labs have verified shielding effectiveness of 99.9% across the range of everyday radiation – view report.
But no need to take our word for it, try The Cell Phone Test.

PRODUCT USE AND CARE
How often do I need to use Belly Armor products?
The health risks from electromagnetic radiation are driven by the amount of exposure and the intensity of exposure. Any reduction of either the amount or intensity of exposure to everyday radiation will reduce your health risk.
It is impossible to completely eliminate radiation exposure, but by using Belly Armor products during periods of higher risk activities (while on cell phones or working at the computer) you can significantly reduce you and your baby’s exposure. Even only 2 to 4 days a week can make a difference.
