Controversy Over Designer Lingerie With Embedded GPS

A new range of "find me if you can" GPS-enabled designer lingerie is causing controversy with feminists calling it nothing more than a 21-st century chastity belt.

Described by the feminist groups as a "modern-day, high-tech chastity belt", the lingerie, made by Lucia Lorio of Brazil, costs between $700 and $1000.

The lingerie combo consists of lace bodice, bikini bottom and faux pearl collar, with the GPS device visibly nestled in the see-through part of the bodice next to the waist.

Lorio defends her work, saying it is aimed at the "modern, techno-savvy woman" and could be used as a tracking device for "safety reasons".

"She can be found only if she wants to. It's not a modern chastity belt. Some men think they can keep tabs on their girlfriends with it, but they're wrong."

"This collection is a wink to women and a challenge to men because, even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off", says Lorio.

"Some women are now interested in buying it for protection," she said, adding that in a violence-prone country like Brazil her GPS lingerie should soon be selling briskly.
