Bust lock-down: Now a bra that unhooks only if true love is detected

According to Japanese lingerie manufacturer Ravijour, women are mostly clueless when they’re confronted with true love and who they should take their tops off for. So the company came up with an innovation for these baffled ladies — a bra with a front clasp that only unhooks when “true love” is detected. Yeah… you heard it right! Kill me now! Here’s how the technology works: The bra comprises of built-in sensors that measures the wearer’s heart-rate and other vitals. The data is continually transmitted via Bluetooth to a special app on her phone.

The app then processes this data using a special app and measures the heart rate elevation using special algorithms and predetermined data. The software then calculates what the designers call the “true love rate”.

And it is only when the wearer’s heart has truly found their prince Charming would it beat in a way that the app would recognize and automatically unhook the brassiere.

The engineers at Ravijour say – “It is only when a woman falls in true love does she get excited enough for the Adrenal Medulla to secrete Catecholamine which affects the autonomic nerve and magnifies the heart rate which is distinguished by the sensor and processed by a specially developed iOS app”. So ladies may not worry as not any randomness in heart rates will unclasp the bra. A promotional video brags the bra could help save women from “the animal”, “the technician” and “the flashy guy”.

And since the product comes not from China but from Japan, we think it’s okay to assume this is a safe and “real” product.
