MummyWraps: Electro-Magnetic Radiation Protection for Unborn Babies?
October 15th 2007 by Dr.MOZ in Strange Products, Tech and Web
I ran across a strange line of clothing called MummyWraps from New Zealand and thought I’d see if anyone was familiar with it. Using Swiss Shield® fabric more commonly used to keep electro-magnetic radiation “EMR” away from those working on radio transmitting equipment, MummyWraps markets itself as “protecting your baby from potentially harmful EMR/Electro-Smog“. The fabric used in the clothing has a fine silver-coated thread woven into it to create a grid-like layer of EMR protection.
Although we are constantly exposed to increasing amounts of EMR through our use of cell phones, microwaves, and other gizmos, I’m not convinced that your average expecting mother needs special clothing “for protection”. On the other hand, those living/working with unusually high exposure (cell phone towers, etc) might find something like this useful. What do you think folks? Is this a scare-tactic used to sell maternity clothing, or are protective garments like MummyWraps ahead of the curve? Let me know what you think by clicking on the comments bubble above.
Have fun and stay healthy,

I think it’s a great idea.
The reason I’ll never have brain cancer is because I wear my tin foil hat everywhere I go. It does a really good job of hiding any gray roots as well.
What did PT Barnum say was born every moment?

You know…if you could just redesign your tin-foil hat to include a handy wipes holder, you just might have something there!

Surprisingly, electro-magnetic radiation from routers and cell phones actually affects the functioning of the brain. Radio waves change specific brain waves. So a baby monitor might actually be influencing the chemistry a baby’s brain. Maybe there is something to this, but it still sounds a little paranoid.

Yes the amount of harmful EMR/Elecrto-smog is highly increasing in environment and hence to protect ourself from this radiation this equipment is very very useful.
