This winter, microwave your bra!
TOKYO: For the woman who wants to stay both warm and environmentally conscious this winter — and isn’t bothered by extra bulk under her shirt — a lingerie maker unveiled a bra that can be heated in a microwave.

Triumph International modelled the bra in Japan which has launched a “Warm Biz” campaign urging people to bundle up to save on heating.

The bra pads are filled with an eco-friendly, reusable gel that can be heated up in a microwave or with hot water.

For good measure, a pendant of a hot pepper dangles from the front. But the bra isn’t for those favouring understated attire.

A long strap flows down from the back, which is meant to be wrapped around like a boa to keep one’s neck warm.

4. That's because she's anorexic.
It shouldn't reflect poorly on the bra merely because she can't maintain a body temperature. :D

9. Maybe this is my answer
to staying warm this winter. Do you think I can get government subsidies?

17. You know the government, before you get any subsidies you'd
need to have your ducts inspected.

Personally, that's one part (two parts) of me that stays warm all on its own.

19. Big deal.
My mom had a double mastectomy about 7yrs ago. She has been making pads out of bird seed ever since. They are light weight ,she puts them in the freezer overnight in summer for coolness and micro waves them in winter.

It's cheap (uses knee highs and birdseed) eco friendly (just open up and give stale ones to the birds) and she can change sizes in a flash!

One draw back, in hot humid weather, they can sprout.
