Babypod Intravaginal Speaker System

There are gadgets and there are weird gadgets, and then somewhere in the obscure corner of the universe, there are gadgets that makes you go ewwww!. OK. To be fair, we have not come across any gadget that would make us goes ‘ewwww!’, well, that is until Babypod comes along. Cute product name, but let me assure you that its use is anything but adorable. So, what is it that this Babypod does? Oh, nothing much really. It is just a speaker of sort that will let an unborn child listen to music – except that this speaker has to be shoved into a mom-to-be’s vagina.

Apparently, music or whatever sound gets dispersed through the abdomen and therefore, the only way to ensure the fetus hears clearly is from the inside. Why? Because, science (apparently). Created by a Spain-based company, Babypod claims that “the only way the music can really reach the baby is vaginally” and it will help “stimulate the vocalization of babies before birth.” How? Don’t ask me. I am no doctor or scientist.

Babypod assures users that it is hygienic, but seeing how the speaker has holes on it, I can’t imagine how so. Yes, It is washable, but you know how holes are bad news hygienically speaking.
