TENS: Naked No More

I have had a disturbing number of people assume that my TENS unit is an iPod. Like I am just that rude that I would keep my iPod clipped to my jeans pocket through class or dinner. (Or stupid enough to keep it clipped to my pocket on the subway. Hide that shit in a bag, yo). Nevermind that my TENS unit is made of cheap-looking black plastic and is ugly, and my iPod is so very, very pretty. Perhaps it's time to exploit that confusion.

A while back, Gimpy Mumpy came up with the brilliant idea of creating more aesthetically pleasing covers for our TENS units. I was thinking more along the lines of hard case that perfectly fit or replaced the basic black exterior, like those scary American flag cell phone plates that they sell on the street for cell phones that haven't been made since 1998. Well, obviously, except in, say, a shiny pink rather than a jingoistic color trio. But, I think I've found a more workable solution. The iPod hoodie.
How fucking cute is that? I bet it would fit, too. But, heck, spending $24 on a hoodie for myself might be a good deal. $24 for a hoodie for my iPod or my TENS unit? Screw that. I wish I could sew.

A basic case like this one would probably work well too, if it weren't designed for the mini. It's a good thing I'm poor: otherwise, Fred Flare would own me.

Of course, if I got my TENS unit some clothes, then even more people likely would mistake the TENS for an iPod. But, it might be worth it just to imagine the look on some iPod-mugger's face when he gets home to discover he's stolen himself a medical zapper unit.
