Japanese lingerie firm, Triumph International Japan have designed a solar-powered bra. The unique bra comes with a detachable solar panel which can produce enough energy to power an iPod or mobile phone.
It is also equipped with plastic pouches that can be filled with water, allowing wearers to quench their thirst without having to buy and then throw away drinks bottles.
Also, ‘eco-friendly’, the bra is made of high quality organic cotton, to ensure its production has the smallest possible impact on the environment. If you are interested in buying one – you may have to wait a while. It’s not out of the design stage yet. One potential problem is that it is damaged by rain.
Triumph also concede that the bra will not become popular in its current form, as outer clothing renders its solar panel ineffective. "People usually cannot go outside without wearing clothes over it," said spokesman Yoshiko Masuda.
Triumph has previously released a bra than can be turned into a shopping bag and a bra designed to encourage the use of reusable chopsticks.
