“The morning after” often sucks for people who weren’t in the right state of mind the night before. Cue this unusual bra by Japanese lingerie maker Ravijou, which only unlocks when it detects “true love” emanating from its wearer.
So it’s not actually “true love” that this bra detects, because love isn’t exactly something you can measure or quantify. What it monitors instead is its wearer’s heart rate and other vital stats to determine whether or not there’s any “love” in the air.
The bra is comprised of a sensor which monitors your heart rate and other vitals. The data is constantly transmitted via Bluetooth to a mobile phone which processes the data and heart rate elevation using special algorithms and preset data and it is only when your heart has truly found that special someone would it beat in a way that the app would recognize and wirelessly unhook the bra.
As you probably already know, it takes more than a quickened heart rate to indicate that you truly love someone and don’t just have the hots for them. Ravijour claim to have already taken this into consideration:
Ladies can relax as not any changes in heart rates will unhook the bra as the experts 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 increases the heart rate which is detected by the sensor and processed by the specially developed iOS app.

Japanese lingerie company Ravijour has come up with a revolutionary albeit unusual piece of lingerie dubbed as the “True Love Tester Bra.” As its name implies, the brassiere comes with built-in sensors that monitors its wearer’s heart rate and vital stats. The sensors also keep track of the secretion of a certain hormone called Catecholamine, which apparently is secreted only when a women is truly in love.
Data on these stats are sent via Bluetooth to a smartphone that’s running the bra’s companion app, which measures heart rate elevation, to determine whether it’s the real deal or just a fling. When it’s deemed to be the former, the app will wirelessly unhook the bra.
It’s definitely an interesting concept, I’ll give it that. But is it practical? I would say no.
