Marriage-Hunting Bra Heats Up Courtship in Japan

Triumph International recently unveiled a new marriage bra concept to please nagging mothers who fret about their single daughters. Known as the Marriage-Hunting Bra, this Japanese invention comes with a countdown timer and ring-holding slot and acts as a reminder to young women about their single status.

The bra itself looks like everyday lingerie with the exception that it is fitted with an LED display underneath the cups. Just above this display is the handy storage slot for an engagement ring.

In theory, the timer will be set to the expected date of marriage for the wearer. It will tick away, only to stop when the engagement ring slides into the allocated slot.

The Marriage-Hunting Bra features other wedding related devices like a pen and stamp seal, two useful accessories for signing the marriage certificate.

The bra, which is not for sale, was developed by the Triumph International as part of their initiative to encourage innovative ideas regarding lingerie.

    So ridiculous, this isn't about helping Japanese ladies find partners this is specifically aimed to prevent Japanese ladies from dateing and getting married to non-Japanese men or non-asian men for that matter, Japanese women don't want to merry asian men because they are sexists. This is a total set-up in an attempt to make those poor asian men and their families bring back their power and control over women…NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!! so just stop with BS and face the truth AND the truth is…Japanese women will continue to date and merry non-asian men and this trend is here to stay and its expanding into Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea. So dream on…and Japanese ladies please do not fall for this stupid set-up trick that this company is trying to pull on you.

    @ Jeff and Jeffable
    What am I missing here? How is this racist and how is this "specifically aimed to prevent Japanese ladies from dateing and getting married to non-Japanese men or non-asian men"?
    All I see is a novelty item.

    How a guy reads this:
    “Oh sweet, early warning device.”
