The invention of strapless bras is great, not only allowing women to showcase their beauty, but also making it convenient to wear a variety of clothes. But have you ever seen adhesive bras? If you bring it, do you feel like it will fall off?
Strapless bras appeared in the 1930s, but they were not popular until the 1950s because strapless evening dresses were popular at that time. However, the design proposed by Langs only has two separate cups and nothing else.
Lang's background doesn't seem like someone who can design women's underwear. He started by electroplating the grille of Cadillac and Ford cars in the past. He collaborated with industrial scientist Charles W. Walton to develop a stickable bra that can remain in place during use and has no adhesive residue when removed.
Walton and Langs developed it for 4 years and applied for a patent on February 14, 1949. Langs stated that even if the wearer jumps off a 10 foot platform, the bra can still be firmly attached. However, things didn't go smoothly after the product was launched, and soon the company became too big to manage. Langs sold the company to another company, Textron, in the same year.
Customers complain that the workmanship of the bra is poor, it is not delivered on time, and the bra is not suitable for all women, especially those who are allergic to adhesive, which means that the popularity of the product will not be too long. In 1952, Langs finally obtained a patent, but adhesive bras were outdated.
