Tokyo: A Japanese firm
has created the world's first cooling bra which contains
refrigerated gel pads.
The Triumph design has been modelled on a mini fishbowl and
includes a wind chime and a sprig of mint. There is even a little
bamboo ladle added for good measure, in case, the wearer wants a
splash of water, The Sun reported.
While remaining soft and supple, the bra pads take excess heat
away from the body to leave a pleasing sensation on the skin.
It can also be worn with a skirt made of a mosquito net or bamboo
shades, adding to its ability to offer relief in a heatwave.
As Japan fears a power shortage after its all nuclear reactors
shut down following the Fukushima crisis, the lingerie giant wants
to help keep Japan cool while air conditioning is used less.
According to Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda said: "The whole
nation, especially the Kansai region, is expected to suffer from a
shortfall of electricity.
"Companies and families now have to deal with higher electricity
bills, so we decided on this theme as we felt we had to increase
awareness of saving electricity."
