Engineer has invented bra that comes off with a clap

A bra that springs off at the clap of a hand has been invented by an American engineer. The prototype could be the answer to the dreams of millions of men if it went into production, consigning to history the dreaded clasp-fumbling that often happens in the throes of passion.

The device is the brainchild of Randy Sarafan. The electronics whizz describes how he was inspired to make the clap-off bra after reading about wacky electronic undergarments sold in Syria, such as musical knickers.

NSFWish.


‘Those of us in Western cultures have a thing or two to learn from the Syrians about gaudy electronic lingerie. Henceforth, it became my mission to fast-forward lingerie technology in the West,’ he says.

So Sarafan, from San Francisco, set about making his own clap-powered bra using old circuit boards and electromagnets. If you want to have a go at making one yourself, then read Sarafan’s step-by-step guide here.

Reminds me of that story about Erno Kovacs, the man who invented the Wonder Bra. At a recent news conference, he announced a new model which would stop the nipples protruding on cold days and also prevent the breasts from bouncing provocatively when the wearer is running.
After the news conference several journalists took Mr Kovacs outside and beat the shit out of him.
