Please Don’t Let This Vaginal Sound System for Fetuses Become the Next Must-Have Baby Shower Gift

Imagine a speaker that you can place inside your vagina to play music for your unborn baby. Yes, you read that right! When we find out we’re expecting, we make tons of changes: we start taking large vitamins, say goodbye to fitted pants, and brace ourselves for months without a good night’s sleep. All of this is in the name of giving our little ones the best start possible, but how far are we willing to go? At what point do we say, “Okay, that’s just too much”? I think we can all agree it stops at inserting speakers into our vaginas.

Introducing the BabyPod

The BabyPod is a round speaker you plug into your phone and insert like a tampon, all to share tunes with your fetus. Yes, you could just play music through regular speakers or put some headphones on your belly like most people do, but who wouldn’t want their little one to feel like they’re partying in a nightclub?

The creators of BabyPod claim it’s based on research from the Institut Marquès, which suggests fetuses can hear sounds as early as 16 weeks and that music can stimulate their developing brains. According to their site, the BabyPod is essential for ensuring your baby hears music “with as much intensity and clarity as when emitted,” rather than through the barrier of the abdominal wall. Your little one has to know every word to “Shake It Off,” right?

The BabyPod is available globally for about $135, making it the most extravagant and least absorbent tampon ever. It comes with auxiliary headphones, a case, and a satin storage bag—because your vaginal speaker deserves to be pampered. And of course, it’s all pink, because what else would you want in such a personal device?

Is It Worth It?

Now, if using a fancy pink earbud to stimulate your fetus is your thing, more power to you! It’s just a pretty amusing concept. Who knows? Maybe our babies actually prefer the muffled sounds they hear in utero instead of a private concert. Maybe in a decade, we’ll all be wishing we’d blasted classical symphonies through our cervixes, and our kids will be fluent in twelve languages.
