COVERING POD ON ARM!!

Hi I want to cover my pod when i wear it on my arm. Now that it is summer i will be wearing tshirts. i dont care if it shows most of the time but when i am at work, i am a server.

I want to think of ideas to cover it up when showing on my arm...i thought of a bandana or a sweatband but i was wondering if anyone had any good ideas? and please dont tell me not to get mad when people ask and embrace it etc....See More
