Sensored bikini tells you how to tan

The made-to-measure invention comes from France – the country that invented the bikini – but with a price tag that might make even the well-tanned beach amazon blanch: €149 (R2 000).

For that price, though, the wearer will get a two-piece swimsuit with a small detachable ultraviolet sensor that, through a smartphone or tablet, sends a “sun screen alert” when the user’s skin needs more protection.
