Hug Shirt

Remember when PDA stood for something other than personal digital assistant? It can again with the Hug Shirt, a high-tech garment that simulates the experience of being embraced by a loved one. When a friend sends you a virtual hug, your cell phone notifies the shirt wirelessly, via Bluetooth. The shirt then re-creates that person's distinctive cuddle, replicating his or her warmth, pressure, duration and even heartbeat. And, yes, the Hug Shirt is fully washable.

  • Ok this is just crazy. Speaking of underwear did you notice the underwear that I blogged about? If your wife gets you some for Christmas you will know she is trying to tell you something. :)

  • This is scary!
    What if someone gives a bear hug and won't let go? haha
    Cracked ribs, anyone?
    Is there an emergency release?
    Whatever happened to the good old fashioned person to person hug?
    Why am I asking so many questions?
    ;-)

  • Hi Rose, I did see that post. I had seen an article on the Internet too about it. It's nice to know they are always making innovations in the undergarment area.

    Kayla, you have many questions, but they are good ones. Nothing beats a good person to person hug.
