This is crazy!! ( I still want one though)
Lingerie makers in Japan have come up with a novel device for women wanting a warm feeling in their bosom.
A microwaveable bra will give them the winter warmth they require in their extremities - and they will also be saving the planet.
Japan is encouraging its residents not to turn up their greenhouse-gas emitting heating systems this winter.
It is hoped the bra will go some way to keeping ladies warm in the chilly winters.
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 don't slip it on if you are wanting to strut your stuff in town.
It's hardly the briefest or cutest of attires.
A large strap flows down from the back, which is meant to be wrapped around like a boa to keep the neck warm.
"We hope this will not only help prevent global warming but also provide a little fashion chic to the office," said makers Triumph International.
Japan, the land of the Kyoto Protocol, is encouraging people to set their heating at no more than 20C this winter to save energy.
It follows a "Cool Biz" casual-dress campaign promoted by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.
He eschewed his tie for most of the summer to reduce air-conditioner use.
