The hot trend these days is to go green to support the environment. From driving hybrid cards to putting up solar panels and buying energy efficient appliances, everything is green. Still, should a line be drawn in the sand somewhere?
In the mad rush to go green, more and more product areas are turning in a way that really makes you wonder. Undergarments for women are one such area. Specifically, now brands are coming out with green brassieres.
So, what exactly does it mean to be green? Do you have to be a hippie? Nope. It simply refers to the use of materials that do not harm the environment. This can be as simple as using natural cotton for bra cups and the like.
When it comes to brassieres, going green can be strange, but does not need to be. A simple switch you will barely notice is simply to go with organic cotton materials. Rawganique makes organic material bras that look like and work like traditional brassieres.
You can even go green by looking for bras with brassieres made from bamboo. Bamboo can be refined down into a cotton like material. Looking for a brand? La Senza offers them online and in stores.
When it comes to funky bras, Triumph International is the undisputed leader. Based in Japan, the company makes all kinds of strange bras. Need an example? How about one incorporating recycling chopsticks?
Yes, they have come up with the chopstick bra. An admitted spoof of sorts, the cups of the bra are oriented as rice cups with supporting pieces made from recycled materials and chopsticks. The bra even comes with two collapsible chopsticks.
On a more personal note, Triumph has also come up with the anti-smoking bra. Huh? The company claims the bright silver bra has a fragrance in it that is emitted from time to time and keeps you from inhaling. Interesting, no?
Back on the environmentally friendly front, Triumph is putting out the infamous solar bra. With little solar panels on it, you can charge your IPod and so on. Ah, but there is one small problem. Can you guess it?
You do not have to know much about solar energy to understand the problem. Simply put, the sun must hit the cells to charge them. This means you need to go shirtless to get a charge. Ah, the ideas of mice and men.
The notion of an environmentally friendly bra certainly can be laughably spectacular, but it need not be. In truth, a simple switch to organic materials like cotton can do the trick.
