Snap-off bra is a magnet for men
From Charles Bremner in Paris

AFTER eight decades of fumbling with hooks on brassieres, French women are being offered a technical breakthrough a soutien-gorge that fastens with magnets and undoes with a twist.

The gesture is so easy that it should transform the lives of the 80 per cent of women who put their bras on back to front and then pull them around, the makers say.

The makers, Bolero, also see advantages for the Gallic male: no more struggling with le crochet rcalcitrant. Men have always found the fastening system to be barbaric, a spokeswoman said.

Georges Chetochine, a behavioural consultant who advised Bolero, said that Frenchmen felt a loss of virility if they stumbled while performing lart du decrochage. Our study showed that the bra fastener posed a problem. It takes time, he said. The man gets annoyed and embarrassed. Then the women gets irritated too, so she takes it off herself. The man is no longer the conquering male.

The small magnets, which form a flat gold rectangle, have been tested to ensure that they posed no threat to health or mobile telephones.

The flimsy black construction, which will cost about 35 when it reaches the shops in the autumn, elicited mixed reactions from men and women when road-tested in the Place de lOpra, near The Timess office. This is wonderful for women. Its incredibly easy compared to hooks and Im going to start putting my bra on the right way round, Sophie, 27, a secretary, said.

But 22-year-old Frdrique said she feared that magnets would take away the charm for men. There will no longer be the desire that comes with patience. The gift wrapping is too easily undone.

Sandrine, a sales assistant, said: Sometimes its fun to see a man panic over a bra.

Is this a follow up on those velcro quick release knickers?

I don't know about anyone else, but from a young age, I always had the knack of getting bras off really quickly which led women to falsely believe I was experienced in these things. I think it comes from doing Chinese puzzles.

You then do a search for bras or magnets or summat.

Hey Ballistic...........you bring back memories of my courting days! Magnetic bras would have been cool then! Just shows what advantages young ones have today!

There is no real knack to it. The basic technique is to perform the same action as when snapping the fingers as when clicking along to music only with the fastener between the fingers. However, this only works when performed with the left hand, right hand clicking reverses the action, so release is not achieved.

True, true. That's why naked women are better than clothed women.

Besides, if you play the Couch Game then you don't have to take it off yourself.
