Smart Bra Monitors Your Mammaries for Signs of the Big C

Posted on by

Smart Bra

The earlier you catch it, the better your chances of treating it and living a longer life. I’m talking about the Big C. Every year, over 50,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer–and a number of them will end up succumbing to the disease, depending on what stage their cancer is and on their overall health.

This is why I think the Breast Tissue Screening Bra is such a wonderful project! It’s a smart bra that’s equipped with sensors that can measure small temperature changes as they occur. The temperature spikes could mean nothing, but they could be caused by the growth of blood vessels which signal the growth of tumors. The sensors will take note of the chronology of cell cycles and use a pattern recognition system combined with statistical analysis software to pinpoint tumors even before mammograms can detect them.

First Warning System has run three clinical trials with over 650 participants so far, and the results are promising. The bra was able to detect the beginning growth of tumors about six years before a mammogram could, and it had a 92.1 percent level of accuracy when it came to classifying them. They plan to begin commercializing the bra system in Europe by next year and work on FDA approval in 2014.

Spock Dreams of Uhura In This Starfleet Uniform Bra (B-Cup Me up, Scotty!)

Posted on by

Every time I think that the guys over at SceeneShoes have run out of ideas for more geeky braziers, they come up with another. Previously, we had some Nintendo and Pokemon bras, followed by a TMNT bra, and then an Xbox 360 controller bra. Now, we’ve got a bra designed to look like a Starfleet uniform.

While not as outwardly sexy slutty as those latex Trek uniforms, this Star Trek bra can actually be worn underneath other garments, and only revealed when you want to show off your goods to your Captain or First Officer. From the design, I’m assuming this is based on the uniforms from The Original Series. I suppose that’s a good thing, because with the newer uniforms, that would mean you’d have to touch your boob in order to activate your communicator. Awkward.

The (unofficial) Starfleet bra is available over on Etsy for $30 to $40(USD) depending on size, and is not (yet) available in red.


Cleavage Caddy

A lot of lucky ladies use their cleavage or bra as an extra storage area but now they can do it more easily (and classy) with the Cleavage Caddy. The Caddy is a lacy insert for your bra that lets you store away your credit cards, keys, cell phone, lipstick and whatever other crap you’re carrying with you. An elastic strap with a snap keeps it firmly in place. So feel free to wear that skirt or pocketless pants. Now if only someone could come up with a solution to get rid of sock money.

The Xbox 360 Bra Perfect for Button Mashers

Posted on by

After the TMNT and Pokemon bras, now comes the Xbox 360 controller bra. It’s the prefect way to make your boyfriend stop fiddling with his Xbox 360 and start playing with your buttons instead.

Each Xbox 360 controller bra is handpainted with permanent paints. It’s definitely an interesting bra, especially since the full details can only be seen once you get comfortable in your underwear. It could also be worn to a sexy geek costume party. You’ll definitely be ogled by geeks a plenty in this bra!

Unfortunately, for now, this bra is sold out and the seller requires 5 weeks to deliver a final garment. I’m sure geekettes everywhere will be lining up to get theirs. It sells for $35 to $45 from SceeneShoes.

TMNT Bra: Heroes in a D-Cup

Posted on by

Girls out there can probably relate to the statement “look me in the eyes” when a guy decides to stare at chest level instead of her face. But now, thanks to the power of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you might even want to clarify exactly which eyes you want guys to look at.

Yep, this bra is done up in to look like TMNT bad boy Raphael, along with his big turtle eyeballs and red non-identity-concealing mask. There’s no doubt if you decide to wear this bra that you’ll be getting stares from your boyfriend or significant other – especially if they’re fans of the classic comic series. And if you dare to wear it as a top, you can be assured that you’ll get all sorts of attention whether you want it or not. Then again, your breasts will now be endowed with mutant ninja powers, so you can defeat any ogling pervs with one quick thwak!

The TMNT bra is available for $35 to $45 (USD) in a variety of sizes from SceeneShoes over on Etsy. And yes, you can choose between Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo or Michaelangelo to cover up your boobs.


Oyasumi Goodnight Keep Bra Brings Women Unnatural Perkiness

Posted on by

Some women’s vanity extend to more than just their mugs. Yes, aside from making sure their face is free from fine lines, creases, and wrinkles in all the wrong places, another huge concern is their bodies. Specifically, the chest area.

Saggy boobs are no fun. And, well, the thought of them isn’t very pretty. But it’s a fact of life and it will come with age to most women – but if you’re trying to be part of the exception, then you might want to look into the Oyasumi Goodnight Keep Bra.

The non-wire Oyasumi bra promises to help you maintain a firm bust while you’re sleeping. It’s not too tight or uncomfortable, so you’ll still be able to get a good night’s worth of sleep even when you’re wearing it.

There isn’t any proof that these will actually work, since some scientific studies actually say that wearing bras at night won’t make them any perkier, nor will they cause cancer or stunt growth.

That said, if you’re still interested in giving it a whirl, then you can get one from the Japan Trend Shop for $78(USD).


JoeyBra: Is That an iPhone in Your Bra, or Are You Just Glad to See Me?

Posted on by

I get that women need to carry around their iPhones, but this is the first time that I’ve seen an accessory that will allow you to carry around your iPhone in a bra! It was created to allow women to still have a way to carry their iPhones when they don’t want to have to lug their purses around.

The JoeyBra is being crowdfunded through Kickstarter, and it’s the product of two students from the University of Washington. It looks like it can stash some cash and credit cards as well. Apparently, Kyle and Mariah have done enough research before starting this, so they’re pretty stoked about this. They did a survey among 200 young women and found that 95% had a problem with where to put their belongings while out partying and 73% lost personal items. 88% were interested in hiding away their personal items on their person.

The Kickstarter project has amassed more than half of its $4,000 goal with almost three weeks left for funding. This means that in all likelihood, it will get made. You’ll need to pledge $30(USD) or more to get yours.
