Lingerie Maker Presents Solar Bra That Can Power iPod

Now women can take their battle for the environment a little closer to heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge your cell phone or even an iPod.

Lingerie maker Triumph International unveiled its first environmentally friendly, and green colored, 'Solar Power Bra' in Japan 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, says Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, since "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, says Triumph.

And the models seem to like it too: "It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well," says model Yuko Ishida.
