Pricing for the bra hasn’t been released yet, but you can expect to be quite a bit north of your normal, non-heart-rate-measuring bras.

2. What happens if you don’t find true love today? Are you trapped in your underwear until you find “the one”?
As technology penetrates deeper into our lives it will inevitably become even further involved in our more intimate experiences. Will you learn to embrace it or keep things old school?
