  • Solar Bra To The Rescue

    Yeah. I dont think so.

    TOKYO (Reuters) - Ladies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod.

    Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd unveiled its environmentally friendly, and green colored, "Solar Power Bra" on Wednesday in Tokyo which features a solar panel worn around the stomach.

    The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it."

    But it does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet, Masuda said, adding that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day to avoid damaging it.

    Being eco-friendly is now fashionable in Japan, and the "Solar Energy Bra" follows the company's other green-themed undergarments that include a bra that turns into a reusable shopping bag and one that featured metal chopsticks to promote the use of reusable chopsticks.
    "It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well," model Yuko Ishida said.

      No bra I am ever going to need is going to be big enough to use as a reusable shopping bag even if I am shopping at the house of miniatures. :(

      Also, the last thing I want is in the middle of the day, when I am feeling a little sluggish, is for my bra to decide that it needs to take on its "saving the planet superpowers" and wisk me away on some earth saving solar powered adventure.

      And can you imagine the gross version of men that would be approaching women asking the women if they can use thier b00bs to "plug in their iPods". Ewwww.

        I want a bra that is sexy and plunges and barely keeps things in. This solar bra - how is one supposed to feel good wearing this? It looks horrible and makes those old bras that grandma used to wear look good.

        Never fear THL - maybe they will come out with a version for men that fits in their pants called the "P" holster.

                I am...speechless. Simply speechless.

                I've been trying to think of a funny reply to this but all I can do is chuckle to myself.

                *Taking Notes* Great! And what style panties do you prefer?

                You're right, what a color!

                What were they thinking?

                On a somewhat related note, I don't believe in reincarnation, but coming back as a ladies bra sounds like a great way to spend eternity.

                You know, supporting a great cause and all that. :)

He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

                        As a human male, I hope you can understand my confusion here.

                        So, in viewing this photo, I'm forced to ask "Just what's the difference between a bra & a corset?"

                        Either way, this thing just does not look functional, as a "bra" or a recharging device.

                          Whys it always gotta be the women? Why cant the men have some iPod charging device shoved down their pants? We cant carry ALL the burden ALL the time.

                          Since we carry purses we get stuck carrying mens wallets, cell phones, all the kids crap for every outing. We have to carry and then deliver the babies. We have to cook, clean, basically wait on the entire family hand, foot, and now, b00b?

                            You know, I like the green color, but they remind me of grandmas corset - as it forms around the torso Skull6 - indeed replete with the pointy cups. The bottoms look like "hipster style" with a control panel. Least they could do is go with a highcut bikini style, more lace including making the back of them all lace and strike out the control panel. A feminine figures demands feminine undies. A younger man told me that. He also told me that just because I might be on the older side that doesn't mean my underwear has to be. I find that most bras have way to much fabric for my taste.

                              A bra lifts it up and holds it in place.
                              A corset sucks it in and holds it in place.
