Solar-powered bra powers Ipod

Glows in the dark
Monday, 29 September 2008, 10:02

PANT MAKER Triumph International Japan has lifted the kimono on a new bra which has a solar panel mounted around the waist area.

Triumph says the bra can generate enough electric energy to power a mobile phone or an Ipod. We guess that means that you have to expose it on a sunny day to get it work properly.

Apparently an electronic message board below the bright green bra's two cups lights up when the solar panel, which is about 15 x 21cm, is connected.

It can’t be washed and will not work while there is cloud cover or when the sun s blocked by a bloke not particularly interested in powering your Ipod.

Still, it pays to keep abreast of the latest technology fashions, although we think that the sort of people who most will want to wear something like this will be more worried about their man boobs. µ

Wrong end

They should make solar powered undies for all Apple fans. Because we all know that the sun shines out of their asses.

Does not compute

Sorry? A "solar panel mounted around the waist area" has what exactly to do with a bra?
It's a waist-mounted solar panel. The bra is optional in that case.
A waist-mounted solar panel - like a belt?
My be is entirely fuddled.

You Just Don't Nick It, Do You?

Like the wildly popular No! Shopping Bag Bra, this eco friendly bra will help stem two giant tankers full of oil. And hopefully, the number of old bags get a reduction, recycled from plastic bottles through the company’s patented EcoCircle. It is a VVin VVin situation!!
If you don't like them apples or this is not your cup of tea, sunshine, don't knock it. Mind yer qp's 007.

I know one outlet...

Both Old and Young Mr. Grace would want to sell these (and provide personal fitting services). Mr. Humphries would be wondering if the LEDs would clash with the rest of his wardrobe. Mrs Slocombe (sp? sorry!) would be upset that none were large enough to fit.

The bra cannot be washed, ffs.

Are you serious? So how many times can she wear it before it stinks?

I don't think a woman is going to "taste nice" if she wears one of those more than 1 day, lol.
