Opens Only For Love


Well…  it would appear that the Japanese have developed a tech-laden bra that will only unhook for “true love.”

The “True Love Tester” bra cannot be masterfully unhooked by some sleazy player who hit on the wearer at a club. No, this bra only comes undone when sensors embedded inside it that are connected wirelessly to a smartphone app detect a particular heart rate.

According to the Victoria’s Secret-like company that made the bra, Ravijour, a particular heart rate over time indicates “love.” 

And... this company even has a graph comparing the effects of jogging, shopping, eating spicy food and watching a horror movie with “flirting” and “surprise gift” on a lady’s heart. 


What better way to acknowledge being “in love” than having your bra fly open?

Ravijour’s slogan is “We do anything for women.”

Of course females might not want to wear this thing around in public, though. The male-designed bra cups pop open pretty dramatically.

Ravijour is marketing the bra as a way to protect women from unwanted sexual advances. It’s not clear how women can unclasp the bra if they don’t find “true love.”

Loveless flings can never happen and unwanted gropers don’t stand a chance – as long as a lady is wearing the True Love Tester.

A built-in sensor monitors the wearer’s heartbeat, making sure the front clasp remains locked – unless genuine ‘excitement’ is detected.

If it is, the bra will automatically spring open in an alarmingly violent fashion. The science behind it is rather less scintillating.

‘When excited, the adrenal medulla [gland] secretes catecholamine, which affects the automatic nerve, and stimulates the heart rate,’ said Japanese lingerie maker Ravijour. ‘A sensor reads the woman’s heart rate and sends it to a special app via Bluetooth for analysis.
Fans can't buy the bra directly, but win a chance to try it out by spending more than 5,000 Japanese yen (about $50) on the brand's website.
