Celebrating it's 100th brithday this year, the bra finally get a makeover that's of some real use. Not that covering bras in millions of dollars worth of jewels or making them eco friendly don't constitute as relevant makeovers, but this one goes one step beyond and actually does something for the boobs involved. Crazy idea, huh.
Scientists have developed an "intelligent fabric" with its own sensors that can be used to design bras for women more accurately in the hope of putting an end to the discomfort and even long-term injury that can result from poor bra design.
Researchers have established that even when the bra is the correct size and properly fitted, women can suffer pain and even nerve damage from bra straps.
The vertical movement of the chest can exceed 70mm (almost three inches) during vigorous effort and they say the stresses and strains can affect nerves around the shoulders so seriously that it causes numbness in fingers.

"It is imperative that brassiere designers have access to methods that can accurately and reliably quantify the effects of various brassiere design features on breast motion while not altering the material properties of the brassiere," they say.
They say recent advances in polymer science allow sensors to be built into fabrics to monitor human motion.
"Our results show that the fabric sensors are suitable to monitor breast motion and brassiere function," they say. "Brassiere designers will have the ability directly to assess the effects of changes to each brassiere component on vertical breast and brassiere motion using fabric sensors."
