What’s that you say? You can’t ever tell what your mate is thinking? You ask, “What’s wrong?,” and your partner says, “Nothing,” but you know there is something.

According to the maker, they are “totally safe and comfortable to wear.” Who doesn’t like to have a sensor on her forehead with a clip on her ear? Plus, they go with everything!
