The 'Kukun Body' is a body-scanning device that informs you when you're smelly, so no one else has to.
There's nothing more humiliating than spending the entirety of your day walking around with smelly body odor or bad breath -- a common but unfortunate realization that takes people far too long to come to. To avoid any unhygienic instances, consumers can simply throw Kukun in the bag or purse. The device is equipped to scan for 3 types of smells: "sweat, middle-fat, and ‘old age smell,’ or karesihu." Kukun is connected to a paired iPhone app, which can visualize the results from the scanner. Users are invited to scan their feet, ears, hair or armpits to avoid any unfortunate circumstances. The Kukun serves as a subtle yet effective reminder to take the necessary hygienic steps prior to leaving the house.
