Keep warm using microwavable bra
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 thick bra that can be heated in a microwave.Triumph International modeled 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 favoring 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. "We hope this will not only help prevent global warming but also provide a little fashion chic to the office," Triumph's Japan branch said in a statement. But for the time being, the bra, which comes with matching shorts, won't be in stores, with the lingerie maker instead using the technology to develop other warm clothing.
