| Keep warm using microwavable bra |
| 2005-11-11 |
| 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. Picture at link |

| #4 Yes, indeed, contrary to popular belief, men can be useful to have around. *ducks and hides behind Fred* ;-) |

| #3 I prefer old-fashioned ladies, who stick with manual warming. That's why they make men, y'know... |

| #2 I can just imagine the future Mythbusters potential... material for many seasons to come! Do they get warm, or do they melt? |

| #1 LOL! Just think of the benefits if you're nursing. Are the shorts heated too? I'm just asking, heh. Dunno how this is supposed "help prevent global warming", but I'm already warming to the idea. I got warm fuzzies just looking at the pic, lol. |
