Designer Creates Magnetic Lingerie

Posted by samzenpus on from the stuck-on-the-fridge dept.

No longer will nerds have to fumble with bra clasps thanks to the work of Laetitia Schlumberger. The French designer has come up with a line magnetic lingerie. From the article: "The underwear, about to go on sale at high-end department store Selfridges, features tiny invisible magnets instead of fastenings to overcome the problem of tricky bra hooks. The bra comes with a matching pair of 'clip-on, clip-off' panties, which have magnetic side strips."

    Uh. Even a really strong magnet isn't going to provide much resistance. This will result in wardrobe malfunctions.

      I think you underestimate how strong a "really strong magnet" can be.
