“This must be just about the worst gadget ever, which of course makes it the most fun to write about gadget ever,” Charlie Sorrel reports for Cult of Mac. “It’s a love-detecting bra, which will only open its front clasp if ‘true love’ is detected. Where ‘true love’ means ‘iPhone’ and ‘detected’ means Bluetooth.”
“The video is really worth watching (just wait a second to get past the annoying scene-setter at the beginning), showing scientists, bras popping off busty mannequins and the ‘science’ behind the True Love Detector,” Sorrel reports. “The bra works by measuring the wearer’s heart rate, and sending the reading to an iPhone app. The app then determines the true-love quotient and – if it is reached – pops the clasp, freeing the breasts within. And of course, a raised heart rate is the perfect error-free metric for determining whether to unclasp a boulder holder.”

Jump out from behind a corner wearing a scream mask to activate. True love / sheer horror. Same thing.
So what is to stop you just sliding the straps off the shoulders?
Not only that, after 10 years of marriage you can’t ever unhook it.
And after 20 years of marriage you don’t want to unhook it.
Looks like if you have an Android, and this bra, you are pretty much stuck in it. Those Phandroids are now getting the same feeling us Mac guys felt in the 90s: App Lack. How does it feel having the shoe on the other foot, you Tardroids?
Android women don’t wear bras, so no problem.
It’s what I heard anyway… don’t go shooting the messenger you Android women…
How about an inverse version. It detects really bad vibes, and releases the catch to a concealed shoulder holster. Faster and more workable than a trigger guard.
I hope that it needs more than an increased heart rate to trigger the unhooking mechanism, otherwise my generously endowed partner might be a spectacular sight when she runs for a bus.
I think I would more worry about the casualties among the innocent bystanders.
Then, how about will a girl wearing it to jog? Oops…
Yes!
Wow a bra that opens up in the front. Revolutionary. Now maybe women will actually become aware that there are bras that open up in the front and that you might find them without having to go to a half dozen stores and getting strange looks from the sales staff.
Nursing bras excluded of course.
Those have been available since like… the last 30 years.
(just a guess as to the time frame)
Now that was funny. I can see it now..
Judge: Why did you expose your breast in public, young lady?
Young lady: It was love at first sight!
Better hope it doesn’t happen in North Carolina — they passed a law criminalizing exposing a nipple…
No doubt.
If you ever doubt in your girlfriend about the guy she hangs out with, ask her to wear it.
but.. but… he’s just a friend!

I just pray they never rig women’s panties with something like this.
If it needs calibrating, I can help with that.
