AP: Heatable Bra Is A Hot Fashion Statement

Heatable Bra Is A Hot Fashion Statement

(AP) Tokyo, Japan The Japanese government wants workers to dress warmly this winter and save energy. A Japanese company is giving an unusual lift to that campaign.

Government leaders have been promoting their "Warm Biz" drive nationwide. Now Triumph International is offering the Warm Biz Bra that the company says will add "a little fun and chic to office wear."

The bra has removable pads that can be heated in a microwave or hot water. It also features long, furry straps that wrap around the neck, like a scarf. There also are matching shorts.

The company says the material helps save warmth, thus cutting down on the need to turn up the heat.

1. Oooh
I don't know about a fashion statement but I work outside and under a couple layers of long johns that would be quite nice I think. I wonder if I could just use a couple of foot warmers instead, hmmm I will have to think about that. LOL

3. Why aren't you using those
hand insert warmers (mostly for bikers and outside workers)? They are only litte squares anyway--should fit in a bra.

6. I simply never thought of it!
I don't know why, I put warmers everywhere I can think of but there, it just never occured to me. Duh!

It is a fabulous idea lildreamer316 and I will use it. When it is -40 wind chill I get mighty cold and that would be just wonderful.
