In todays amazing technology news, there is now a mirror that is able to measure your bra size all by itself.

Because let's be honest, it's always pretty awkward when a stranger has to measure you. Where do you look?! And where do you put your hands?!

The super gadget was first introduced in lingerie store, Rigby & Peller in Hong Kong, and apart from measuring your size, it can also tell you the best shape of bra to choose out of all the brands in the store. 

All you have to do is wear your current bra – no awkward naked encounters here – and slowly turn around to allow the mirror/computer to scan your upper body. 

The smart technology, called Catherine, then takes over 140 measurements of your body and analyses the data to give you your correct bra size AND how it would differ across the various lingerie brands. 

The 3D mirror proved to be so popular in Hong Kong that Rigby & Peller now have one installed in their London store.

Kelly Dunmore, chief lingerie stylist for the brand, spoke to HuffPost UK Style all about the new technology. 

"Customers have the choice of engaging with a lingerie stylist, the 3D mirror or indeed a combination of the two to learn about not just their size, but also shapes, styles and seasonal colours and trends which suit their bodies and lifestyle needs."

Now all we need is for one of these brilliant mirrors to land in Ireland! See the mirror in action here:

We know, it's one of the most embarrassing moments of your life. 

Do you make an appointment to be fitted? Do you just go in and take your top off? Will she see EVERYTHING?!

So many questions! 

But, unfortunately a lot of women are in the dark about the right bra size – and in this case, ignorance is certainly not bliss. 

It will become sore, dig into your sides and leave you with unflattering red marks. 

So, if (like many) you're unsure about wearing the right bra size, here are some fool-proof ways to tell.

1. You have bulges galore.

2. The back of your bra is riding high.

3. Quardra-boob!

4. Your straps leave a last impression.

5. Your cups are only half-full.

6. Your straps are falling down. 

If you have any of these signs, we're afraid it's time to say so-long to your bestie.
