Proud Body Pregnancy Belly Cast Kit

Proud Body Pregnancy Belly Cast Kit

Proud Body's pregnancy belly cast kit enables moms to create a lasting memory of their pregnancy in the privacy of their home in just 30 minutes. Photos and video can't capture an expecting mom's shape the way our pregnancy belly cast can. A pregnancy belly cast enables a mom to forever remember how she looked during her pregnancy and the special nine months she shared with her growing baby.


Each Kit Contains:

Premium Quality Plaster Casting Material

Provided are five rolls of four-inch wide by five-yard long premium-quality, extra-creamy casting material in our kit (25 square feet of material and enough for even the largest of expecting moms). To visualize just what 25 square feet of material looks like, it is equivalent to a five foot by five foot sheet of material.

The casting material chosen contains a fine cotton gauze and generous amounts of gypsum. When applied to mom's skin, it is creamy and able to capture all the fine details of a mom's expecting form. The combination of the fine gauze and generous amounts of gysum allows the caster to get an incredibly smooth finish during the casting itself. Proud Body chose quick setting material to minimize the amount of time mom needs to sit and wait for her cast to dry.

Proud Body tested both medical-grade casting material and artist's casting material in our testing process. They chose the artist's casting material over the medical-grade casting material because the artist's casting material makes a smoother cast due to the finer cotton gauze and more generous and creamier gypsum contained on the cotton gauze.

The medical-grade casting material uses a coarser gauze and there is not as much gypsum contained on the gauze. It also dries a more off-white color than the artist's casting material.

The casting material is made from 100% natural materials and is non-toxic and safe to use on moms skin. There is no heat reaction when applied to moms skin unlike bulk plaster of paris that can be purchased in a hobby or home improvement store.

Proud Body has received and reviewed all of the safety certifications obtained by the manufacturer regarding its use. The casting material conforms to the health requirements of ASTM-D4236 and requires no additional labeling as mandated by the Labeling of Hazardous Art Materials Act (LHAMA).


100% natural & no heat reaction!

All-Natural Belly Casting Lubricant

Proud Body has done a lot of research and testing on what lubricant to use in their kits to provide the best barrier between moms skin and the casting material.

Proud Body's all-natural belly casting lubricant provides an excellent barrier between moms skin and the casting material so the belly cast is easy to remove from moms skin after it has dried. Plus, it is body and earth-friendly.

The all-natural belly casting lubricant is made of all-natural ingredients: Beeswax, cocoa butter, olive oil and vitamin E. It is easily washed from moms skin once her belly cast has been removed or she can allow it absorb into her skin. It is so much easier to remove than messy Vaseline but it provides the same excellent barrier protection!


Plastic Drop Cloth

Making a pregnancy belly cast is great fun, but also is messy! Proud Body provides a 9 x 12 drop cloth to spread to keep the drips off your floor and to make clean up after the casting very simple.


Carbine Sanding Screen

Medium grit carbine sanding screen is used to lightly sand your dried pregnancy belly cast to make a smoother finishing surface if you desire.


Nitrile Gloves

More expensive than either latex or vinyl gloves, nitrile gloves are made from 100% soft nitrile polymer, eliminating any probability for allergic reaction to the natural rubber proteins found in latex gloves. Nitrile gloves have excellent tensile strength and durability compared to vinyl gloves. They also conform well with excellent elasticity compared to vinyl gloves.
