A new range of "find me if you can" GPS-enabled of underwear is causing controversy around the world.Described by feminists as a "modern-day, high-tech chastity belt", the lingerie, made by Lucia Lorio of Brazil, costs from between £500 and £700.
With a lace bodice, bikini bottom and collar, the GPS device fits in the bodice with a separate receiver for the "finder".
Lorio has defended her work, saying it is aimed at the "modern, techno-savvy woman" and could be used as a tracking device for safety reasons.
"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", Lorio said.
