EMF and Breasts: A Hot Topic at SLNT

EMF and Breasts: A Hot Topic at SLNT

We love boobs. They feed our children, fuel our confidence, and symbolize womanhood. They deserve more than attention — they deserve protection.

This article is written by the women of SLNT, because let’s be honest, we weren’t about to let the guys take this one.

We want to bring awareness to the women in our SLNT community and to the men too, so they can share it with the women they love. Because protecting your tatas isn’t just about looks.

It’s about health, and guarding against risks we can’t always see, like EMF radiation.

 

Breast Cancer Awareness Is About More Than Pink

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a powerful reminder to take care of the girls — get them checked, support friends and family who’ve been affected, join a walk to raise funds for research, or educate yourself on prevention.

The pink ribbons are everywhere, but awareness has to go deeper. Real awareness means facing hidden risks, asking tough questions, and taking control where we can.

One of those hidden risks is radiation.

We already know ionizing radiation: X-rays, CT scans, and radiation therapy can increase breast cancer risk when the exposure is high or repeated. But what about the non-ionizing radiation we live in every day? The invisible pulses from our cell phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth devices, and smart tech.

These frequencies aren’t as powerful as medical imaging, but they’re not harmless either. The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has already classified radiofrequency EMFs as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” In plain language: the science isn’t finished, but there are enough red flags to pay attention (WHO/IARC).

And that’s where we, as women, started asking: if there’s even a possibility that EMF exposure plays a role in cancer — why are we still pressing our phones directly against our breasts?


The Bra (and Bag) Problem

Let’s be honest. Convenience wins. Stashing phones in bras — especially for workouts or when running errands — feels like a clever hack. No purse. No hands. Easy.

But the truth? That’s years of placing actively connected, radiation-emitting devices right against one of the most sensitive parts of your body.

And it doesn’t stop with bras. The crossbody bag is the most popular style in the U.S., worn by millions of women every day. But think about where that phone lands: across our chests, with the phone sitting on top of our breast tissue, signals firing all day long. Cute and functional, sure. But radiation? That’s one trend nobody’s looking to wear.

It’s easy to dismiss because we can’t see radiation. There’s no heat, no sting, no immediate warning. But that invisibility is what makes it so easy to ignore. And ignoring it is what makes us vulnerable.


Research Spotlight

This isn’t panic — it’s perspective. History is full of lessons: smoking, seatbelts, lead paint. For years, people brushed off the warnings because the science wasn’t “settled.” And while everyone waited, the damage piled up.

We’re not saying EMFs cause cancer. What we are saying is that it makes sense to pay attention now, not decades from now. Prevention doesn’t mean paranoia — it means choosing the smarter, simpler steps today rather than wishing we had later.

Here’s what the research is already showing:

  • WHO/IARC Classification: Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields are classified as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B), in the same category as lead and engine exhaust. 👉 Read WHO/IARC report
  • 2013 Case Reports: Four women, ages 21–39, developed multifocal breast cancers directly under where they carried their cell phones in bras. None had family history or known genetic risks. Case studies don’t prove causation, but they raise a serious red flag. 👉 Read study on PMC
  • Meta-Analysis (2020): A pooled review found a significant association between radiofrequency radiation exposure (phones, computers) and increased breast cancer risk, especially among women over 50 and frequent device users. 👉 Read meta-analysis

The lesson is simple: don’t wait for “absolute proof” when the stakes are this personal. Proactivity isn’t panic — it’s power.


Why us ladies, rock a SLNT Crossbody:

We, the women of SLNT, have stopped using bras or standard crossbody bags as phone holders. Instead, we carry our SLNT Crossbodies every day — not just for style, but as a smarter choice for our health and peace of mind.

We aren’t claiming that SLNT will stop breast cancer. What we believe in is being proactive. We don’t want to sit around waiting for decades of studies to finally confirm what early research and common sense are already telling us: pressing a phone directly against breast tissue day after day probably isn’t the smartest idea.

Here’s what SLNT Faraday Crossbodies do:

  • Blocks signal → 100% block and dramatically reducing radiation exposure.
  • Add distance → create a physical shielded barrier between device and breast tissue.
  • Stop the noise → no tracking, no buzz, no alerts. Just peace.

And here’s how each one fits into daily life:

Essentials Faraday Sling

Minimal, sleek, and light. Perfect for workouts, errands, or school pick-up. Just enough room for your phone, wallet, and keys.

Compact Faraday Sling

The perfect balance of space and simplicity. More room than the Essential Faraday Sling, but still streamlined for everyday carry. Ideal for women who juggle life on the go.

Lifestyle Faraday Sling

Our smallest sling, crafted in sleek leather. Designed for minimal carry with maximum style. It can be worn cross-chest or lower on the hip. Bonus it has RFID blocking credit card slots built in.

 

The Bottom Line

Breast Cancer Awareness Month reminds us that protecting our health means more than screenings and ribbons — it means rethinking daily habits that quietly put us at risk. EMF exposure from phones and devices may not be visible, but ignoring it doesn’t make it harmless.

At SLNT, we believe awareness should lead to action. For us, that action is simple: stop pressing phones against our chests and carry them in gear designed to block signals and reduce exposure. It’s about respect — for our bodies.

To all the women who have lost their lives, to those in remission, and the ones still fighting — your strength inspires us.

FAQ — The Real Talk

Would you willingly strap a Wi-Fi router to your chest? That’s essentially what you’re doing, only smaller and closer.

Quick becomes habit. And habits add up. That’s chronic exposure, not occasional.

We love crossbodies too. But most put your phone directly against breast tissue. Our SLNT Crossbodies look just as good — but kill the signal instead of pressing it against you.

Better, but not foolproof. Phones can still leak signals. A Faraday sleeve or Crossbody blocks all radiation from your device.

SLNT is about reclaiming control. SLNT protects your data from being tracked and your body from constant EMF exposure. Either way, it’s about taking back power.

Absolutely. Because the women in their lives — wives, daughters, girlfriends — are doing this every day. And let’s be real — guys aren’t off the hook either. Just think about what their phone is doing to their family jewels when they carry it in their front pocket.
