The most sensitive body parts to EMFs (and the riskiest times of day)
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are everywhere — from smartphones in our pockets to Wi-Fi routers in our homes and 5G towers outside. While exposure is unavoidable, not every part of the body — or every time of day — is equally vulnerable.
At SHIELD, we use silver and nickel fibers to create clothing and accessories that block 30–65 dB of radiation (up to 99,98% effectiveness) across the 10 MHz – 40 GHz range. Here’s how you can focus your protection where it matters most.
Part 1: Which Parts of the Body Are Most Sensitive?
The Brain and Nervous System
-
Why protect it: Phones, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi place EMF sources close to the head. The brain communicates through electrical signals, making it highly sensitive.
-
Best products: EMF hats, caps, and sleep masks with silver protection.
The Heart and Chest
-
Why protect it: The heart is regulated by its own electrical rhythm. Some people report palpitations near strong EMF sources.
-
Best products: EMF T-shirts, undershirts, and long-sleeve shirts, plus blankets for relaxation.
Reproductive Organs
-
Why protect it: Phones in pockets and laptops on laps expose one of the most sensitive systems in the body.
-
Best products: EMF boxer briefs, underwear, and tank tops for lower abdomen protection.
The Skin
-
Why protect it: High-frequency EMFs (like 5G) are absorbed by the skin’s surface tissues, sometimes causing tingling or burning sensations.
-
Best products: Long-sleeve shirts, hoodies, and layered outfits to create an EMF “shadow” effect.
Part 2: Which Times of the Day Are Most Risky?
Nighttime (During Sleep)
-
Why it’s dangerous: Sleep is when your body repairs itself and produces melatonin. EMFs can interfere with deep rest and recovery.
-
Best products: Sleep masks, blankets, undershirts, and boxer briefs for full overnight coverage.
Daytime Device Use
-
Why it’s dangerous: Phones in pockets, laptops on laps, and wireless devices pressed against the body cause direct exposure spikes.
-
Best products: Faraday phone pouches to cut signal when not in use, boxer briefs/underwear for pocket protection, and blue light glasses for screen-heavy days.
Urban Exposure
-
Why it’s dangerous: Living or working near Wi-Fi hotspots, 4G/5G towers, and smart meters means constant background radiation.
-
Best products: Caps, T-shirts, and long-sleeves to shield sensitive areas throughout the day.
