Bellybuds bellyphones

by

Yes, I’m finally featuring a product for parents-to-be! I don’t do so often, since I’m wayyy past that stage, but I thought this would be a fun gift idea, especially with Mother’s Day coming up.

Everyone knows that babies can hear sounds in womb. I remember whenever I’d go to the movies, my daughters would move around and kick so hard, right along with the action going on on the screen! Bellybuds are wearable speakers for expecting moms that desire to play prenatal music and sounds to a developing child in utero.

What I find really interesting is that this idea was conceived by a DAD! Father-to-be and co-founder of Belly Buds, LLC, Curtis Williams, was seeking a better way for his wife to play music to their yet-to-be born daughter. Bellybuds consist of a pair of simple, two-inch modular bellyphones that plug into any standard mp3, digital music player or sound device, and can be placed anywhere on the abdomen. The circular disks gently adhere to the growing belly with a medical-grade, reusable and skin-safe hydrogel.

Bellybuds have a fixed, maximum sound level strong enough to penetrate to the womb. They reach the baby at a decibel level roughly equivalent to a casual conversation and lower than the mother’s heartbeat. Along with playing music, they can be used to share sounds such as recorded voice messages from loved ones. How awesome would this be for a mom whose husband is a soldier stationed overseas?

When mom is done sharing music and sounds with her baby, bellybuds are easily stored on the included “dock” and placed in the accompanying pouch for portability and safe-keeping.

BUY IT!
The bellybuds bellyphones Deluxe Pack makes an excellent pregnancy or baby shower gift and is available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $49.99. Bellybuds bellyphones are the first of what will be a full line of audio products from the company for expectant moms and their babies! For more information, please visit www.bellybuds.com.

  24. My husband has been wanting to read our baby to be stories and he wouls love this!

  28. I would definitely keep these for myself if I won them! I have a baby on the way and this looks a lot more comfortable than wearing headphones around your belly. You also won’t have to wait for your belly to get big enough to hold a pair of headphones.

  32. I am keeping for myself and going to have alot of fun with it too.
