The latest in women's safety devices or modern chastity belts?

Brazilian lingerie leaps into the world of technology with the"Find Me If You Can". Geocachers everywhere rejoiced. The design targets "techno-savvy" women but might sell better to women frequently misplacing their undergarments.
This reminds me of the bra design with solar panels. Tech + underwear in a completely nonsensical combination.

Man, that's some ugly lingerie. When I heard it was Brazilian, my first thought was "Where would they put it?" And the answer is, tacked onto the side like some goddamned beeper.

Wow.
The GPS makes it ugly, but I can see it being used as a way to find missing persons who wore it when they were kidnapped, etc.
Let me know when you find lingerie that plays music or something useful though.

To a psych class I once took, a guy brought, for some reason, a banana hammock shaped like an alligator that played the theme to Love Story when you pressed on its nose.

1. If you give me a gift of lingerie the purpose of which is to monitor my whereabouts, we are no longer dating.
2. If I lose my lingerie so completely as to require GPS to find it, I certainly won't want it back anymore.
3. I hate Brazil.

Ask her boys before you buy it for her.
I'd like to buy a couple of commas, please.

I was strangely aroused by this, the only comment on that article in the first link:
My husband wouldn't dare buy me something like this, if he did he knows I'd put it where the sun don't shine.

Do tell.

Did no one else see forget-me-not panties™ (which have built-in GPS and unique sensor technology)? That was 5 years ago!
Which I now remember was a hoax. Never mind, carry on.

It would be more useful if it were GPS socks. I'm always losing those.

Phase 1: Collect Underpants
Phase 2:??? Start Company Selling Underpants Security Devices and Underpants Insurance to Frightened Underpantless Populace, Go Public, Cash in Employee's Retirement Fund, Sell the Company, Short Your Stock
Phase 3: Profit!

Didn't open the links, but I do like the idea in general of "Brazillian lingerie." What's going on in my imagination is probably far better than the links anyway. The target audience is "techno-savvy women" so I'm imagining underwear designed especially for naughty librarians. Now that's what I call tech support!

it it just me or does that underwear appear to come with a cape? maybe they had problems with the supermodels flying away, and that's why the gps was necessary?
(hmm, I think I just came up with an idea for an x-rated comic book)
