The purpose of this Tweeting Bra is to promote breast cancer awareness and the need for self-examinations

The bra is part of an ad campaign from Nestle Fitness so it’s not for commercial sale, but the electronic bra is real, the Greek tweets are real, and there’s a real person behind the breasts: Maria Bacodimou.

How does the Tweeting Bra work?

The Tweeting Bra includes a special mechanism under the hook of the bra, which pairs with a nearby mobile device. When the bra is unhooked, it sends a signal to the mobile device which then sends out the tweet.
