Ananova:

A bikini which reminds sunbathers to turn over so they don't get burnt has been launched in Britain.

The Tan-Timer Bikini has an electronic timer that beeps every 15 minutes to remind its wearer to roll over or seek shade.

The manufacturers hope it will appeal to the 59% of beachgoers who admit to a tendency to falling asleep in the sun.

The £20 bikini is going on sale in New Look stores, the country's third biggest women's clothes retailer.

Hash Ladha, the marketing director of New Look, said: "As well as the health implication of over-exposing your skin to the sun, burnt or peeling skin is not a good look for the image conscious."

A New Look spokeswoman said a male version could be on the cards for the future.
