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.
It is important to realize that going green does not necessarily mean that you need to get seriously hippie. The key is often simply to look at the materials used for the bra. For many products, the switch between a latex and natural cotton is barely noticeable.
With the popularity of the green movement, it can be easy to forget what exactly green is. It simply refers to the use of materials that limit the harm to the environment. Switching from latex and plastic to organic cotton bras can be an easy switch.
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.
Perhaps one of the odder pairings of lingerie and Mother Nature comes to us from Triumph International. The Japanese company has found a unique way to recycle the 20 plus billion chopsticks thrown away every year.
The chopstick bra is undoubtedly one of the stranger green products ever created. The bra has rice bowl shaped cups and uses old sticks refined down as supporting pieces. The company even provides two chopsticks with the bra.
Surprisingly, the chopstick bra is not the strangest bra offered by Triumph. The stop smoking bra is really odd. It is a bright metallic color and supposedly has a fragrance that stops the urge to smoke.
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?
What is the problem? Solar cells only work when exposed to the sun. Well, how exactly is the sun going to get to your bra? You would have to go shirtless. Ah, but what about a bathing suit top?
Ultimately, a bra has to be practical and comfortable. While the odd bras of Triumph are interesting, you can go green by simply looking for environmentally friendly materials that are both comfortable and practical. - 15343
