TOKYO (Reuters) - Ladies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod. Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd unveiled its environmentally friendly, and green colored, "Solar Power Bra" on Wednesday in Tokyo which features a solar panel worn around the stomach.  The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it." But it does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet, Masuda said, adding that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day to avoid damaging it. Being eco-friendly is now fashionable in Japan, and the "Solar Energy Bra" follows the company's other green-themed undergarments that include a bra that turns into a reusable shopping bag and one that featured metal chopsticks to promote the use of reusable chopsticks. "It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well," model Yuko Ishida said. source

That doesn't really look that comfortable to me. Why not a clip on patch or something for your sleeve? Why a bra?
geez

So does that mean they can't wear any clothes on top of that thing...? If so than the clothes would cover the solar panel!

I wonder how many other ladies and gentlemen had the same thought as I did when reading the title.
Solar powered boobs.... They get bigger when it's bright and smaller when it's dark.
A photosynthesis for boobs!

Okay, so let me get this straight.. You can't really wear it outside (in the sun) and you can't put clothes over it. How is this thing supposed to save the world, when it actually has, no useable purpose? Besides, how much power do you really need to charge an iPod or a mobile phone. You could just as easily get that off your PC, it wouldn't cost anything extra (AFAIK). Quote - (leesmithg @ May 16 2008, 14:39) Solar powered boobs....

A photosynthesis for boobs! It'll please both sexes. Ladies can have sex with the light on, because most men will want to have as much light as possible.
