Belly Armor - Radiation blankets

Hi, all! Just curious if any of you are using these radiation blankets when using your phones, tablets & laptops? I have looked around at a few and like the one The Honest Company offers but they are expensive and I don't want to invest in one if they are a waste. Appreciate your advice/opinions!

    The only concern I've ever heard of regarding laptops is placing a laptop on the stomach and only because they get very warm. I think a regular blanket or something between the laptop and your stomach will suffice. As for cellphones and tablets, the type of radiation they admit is the same as microwave and the main concern like I stated above is heat.

    I think the heat, as stated above, is probably more dangerous than radiation.  IMO, these types of products are straight gimmicks.

    Total waste. You get as much radiation from the ground every day.
    Just use common sense. Not everything is going to hurt you just because you're pregnant.

    ... Seriously I'm likely to get flamed of this but I'm going to say it anyways. All this shit is nuts, we've been having healthy baby since the beginning humanity with very little restrictions.

    Now "everybody" gives me a top 100 lists of crap to do and don't do, things and technology I absolutely have to have so I don't kill my baby.

    Let's just make it easy and will lock pregnant women away from the big bad world for nine months /:)

    1)  Unless you have money to burn, you probably shouldn't spend it on one of these and if you do have money to burn there are lots of wonderful charities.

    2)  It's actually a terrible idea to use your laptop with a blanket under it or on top of any soft surface for any length of time.  There is no possibility of airflow and it can cause the laptop to overheat burning up the hard drive and in very very rare cases has led to fires.  If you're worried, get a lap desk.  It's multifunctional, cheap and they can be very stylish.

    You get more radiation sleeping next to your partner or eating bananas. This product is bananas.
