Heated bra aims to save the world
I love the Japanese...but when are they gonna produce something for us guys to keep warm? :rofl:



A leading lingerie company has joined Japan's fight against high fuel use, unveiling a heated bra for winter.
The fluffy creation contains special pads filled with an eco-friendly gel that can be easily heated in a microwave or with a hot water bottle.

Lingerie giant Triumph unveiled the bra months after PM Junichiro Koizumi urged Japan's office workers to ditch ties to save on air conditioning.

Being padded, the new bra packs a little more bulk than most regular designs, but the Japanese arm of Triumph insisted the look was more chic than sheep.

"We hope this will not only help prevent global warming but also provide a little fashion chic to the office," the company said in a statement.

3. I have an idea for a bra that cools the body.
Most of us understand the value that would have in the summer, when wrapping body parts in hot synthetics is a real pain.
