I had many false starts writing today’s post. The new gadget that I’m about to describe borderlines on insane and ingenious. What the heck. It’s 2016 and I’m at CES. This is the land of innovation and insanity.

I’m blushing as I tell you there is a new wireless speaker that’s made specifically to play music to a fetus. Ordinarily, there is nothing strange about that. Not this time. Babypod is a small intravaginal device that looks like a tampon with speakers.

Babypod claims unborn children can only hear muffled sounds. “We are really looking out for the best interests of the little fetuses. It’s only natural that we give them the best acoustic experience possible. The only way to do this is to go through the vagina.”

Babypod claims that the device is perfectly safe. “The material coming into contact with the mother’s body is silicone, which does not irritate the skin and is hypoallergenic.”
