Yes. The EMF protection products we carry at Wax | Wane are selected based on documented testing and attenuation ratings. We look for products with third-party lab testing, specified dB attenuation ratings across frequency ranges, and transparent ingredient/material disclosure. We do not sell products that make unverifiable claims. If you have questions about the specific testing behind a product, reach out to us at support@waxandwane.store.

Yes, with care. Silver fiber products should be washed in cold water on a gentle cycle, without bleach or fabric softener (both degrade silver fibers). Air dry only — heat from dryers can damage the conductive weave. With proper care, silver fiber products maintain their shielding effectiveness for hundreds of washes. Some products include a wash bag for added protection during laundering. Always check the specific care instructions included with your product.

The scientific evidence for silver fiber and Faraday cage-based EMF shielding is well-established in physics and electrical engineering — conductive materials do block electromagnetic radiation, and this is the basis for everything from microwave oven doors to hospital MRI rooms. What is less settled is the specific health impact of low-level, non-ionizing EMF from devices like phones and WiFi routers. The precautionary principle applies here: if you are concerned about EMF exposure, shielding products provide a measurable, physics-based reduction in radiation reaching your body. We do not make medical claims, but we do sell products with documented, tested attenuation ratings.

5G operates across a wide range of frequencies — from sub-6GHz (similar to existing 4G) to millimeter wave (mmWave) bands above 24GHz. High-quality silver fiber products and Faraday cages with sufficient density can attenuate 5G signals, particularly in the sub-6GHz range. mmWave 5G is shorter range and more easily blocked by physical barriers. Our product listings specify the frequency ranges each product is tested and rated for — look for products rated to 40GHz or above for broader 5G coverage.

Silver fiber fabric works by creating a Faraday cage effect — a conductive mesh that intercepts and redirects electromagnetic radiation before it reaches your body. Silver is one of the most electrically conductive metals, and when woven into fabric at sufficient density, it can block or significantly attenuate EMF radiation across a wide frequency range (typically 10MHz to 40GHz). The effectiveness depends on the silver content percentage, weave density, and whether the garment maintains full coverage of the target area. Our EMF protection products specify their attenuation rating (measured in dB) so you can make an informed choice.

A Faraday bag is a portable enclosure made from conductive material that completely blocks all electromagnetic signals from entering or exiting — including WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular, GPS, and RFID. Unlike wearable EMF protection (which reduces exposure), a Faraday bag completely isolates a device. Common uses include: blocking phone tracking while traveling, protecting key fobs from relay attacks (car theft prevention), data security for sensitive devices, and reducing radiation from devices stored near the body (like in a bag or pocket). Our Faraday bags are tested and rated for signal attenuation.

Ionizing radiation (X-rays, gamma rays, UV) carries enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and damage DNA — this is the type associated with cancer risk and radiation sickness. Non-ionizing radiation (radio waves, WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular signals, microwave) does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms. The health debate around non-ionizing EMF centers on thermal effects (heating tissue at high exposure levels) and potential biological effects at lower levels — an area of ongoing research. Our EMF products address non-ionizing radiation from everyday devices.
