Intended for recreational use during pregnancy. Not a medical device. Use only as directed.

Little Ears. Big Responsibility.

Important Safety Information

Please read and follow these instructions before every use.

Bump Up the Jam is intended for occasional bonding and entertainment—not medical treatment, fetal development, or prenatal education.

Before Every Use

Always enable the iPhone 80 dB headphone limit, confirm Automatic Ear Detection is turned off, and test the audio at your own ear before placing the holder on your belly.

Required

Never

  • Never use the product without the complete holder properly closed.
  • Never cover, obstruct, alter, or enlarge the acoustic vents.
  • Never place an AirPod directly against the belly.
  • Never use damaged, modified, wet, or improperly fitting parts.

Required

Always

  • Always begin listening at the lowest practical volume.
  • Always remain awake and present while using the product.
  • Do not sleep while using Bump Up the Jam.

Stop Immediately

Stop Use If

Stop using the product immediately if the sound seems loud, distorted, or uncomfortable.

Skin Care

Skin and Adhesive Safety

  • Do not use on irritated, injured, numb, infected, or recently treated skin.
  • Stop using the product if redness, itching, pain, blistering, or other skin irritation occurs.

Small Parts

Young Children Risk

Keep the holder, adhesive pads, and AirPods away from children when unattended. These products contain small parts.

Designed to Work as a Complete System

Bump Up the Jam is designed to work together with your iPhone’s volume controls, proper AirPod placement, and the holder’s sound-reduction features.

Using the product incorrectly, altering it, blocking its vents, or failing to enable the 80 dB headphone limit may increase sound exposure.

Understanding Sound Exposure

Sound exposure depends on volume, duration, frequency, repetition, proximity, and individual circumstances.

The commonly referenced NIOSH 85 dBA limit is an occupational exposure guideline and is not a prenatal or consumer-product safety standard.

Speak with an obstetric clinician before use if the pregnancy is high-risk or there are specific medical concerns.

Remember: Bump Up The Jam is intended for recreational use only and is not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or improve any medical or developmental condition. If you have questions about using this product during pregnancy, consult your prenatal healthcare professional.

Troubleshooting

Press a question below to see the solution.

Audio plays in your ear but won’t play in the holder

Make sure Automatic Ear Detection is turned off:

  1. Remove AirPods from their case, make sure they are connected to your iPhone, and open Settings.
  2. Press the name of your AirPods near the top of the screen. Alternatively, open Bluetooth and press the information button next to your AirPods.
  3. Press Audio & Routing.
  4. Toggle Automatic Ear Detection off.

Note: Automatic Ear Detection may appear without opening Audio & Routing on some AirPods.

The sound doesn’t seem loud enough

Bump Up the Jam is not intended to produce sound that is loud enough for you to hear clearly while the holder is attached to your belly. Do not increase the volume simply to make the audio audible to you from outside the holder.

Before placing the holder on your belly, confirm that the audio is playing by holding the complete, closed holder near your ear. Begin at the lowest practical volume and keep the iPhone’s 80 dB headphone limit enabled.

Sound travels differently through the holder and the body, and what you hear from outside the holder does not indicate exactly what can be heard in the womb. Fetal responses to sound also vary by gestational age.

If no sound is playing, confirm that Automatic Ear Detection is turned off and that the left AirPod is properly inserted.

The AirPod doesn’t fit in the holder
  • Confirm that you are inserting the left AirPod. The holder is designed for the left AirPod only.
  • Do not force the AirPod into the holder or modify the holder.

Compatible AirPods

  • AirPods: 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation
  • AirPods Pro: 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation

AirPods are not included.

The headphone holder keeps falling off
  • Make sure the skin is clean and completely dry.
  • If your adhesive pads are specifically approved as washable and reusable, lightly wash the pad with warm water and mild soap. Allow it to air-dry completely before reuse.
  • If the pad is disposable, damaged, dirty or no longer holding, replace it with a new approved adhesive pad.
  • Do not use household glue or an adhesive that has not been approved for skin contact.
