A Bra that Truly Multi-Tasks
We’re all about a fit that fits your body as well as your personality, and this is evidently a “top priority” among women, as bras have gotten more expressive in color, design and even function. And by function, we’re not talking about reshaping or resizing your boobs—we’re talking about, you know, growing things from them. Triumph Japan, a rather progressive lingerie maker, unveiled the ‘My Tanbo Bra,’ the next logical step in modern mobile agriculture. Translated as “My Rice Field Bra,” it can best be described as a bra…that grows rice.
The same company who, last fall, debuted the first ever (and as far as we know, only) “Nice Cup in Bra” that turned a normal bra into a putting mat for golf driving practice (and establishing a new par for intimates), has given those blessed with a green thumb or at least the drive to attain one a chance to turn their bodies into one-woman farms with the simple hook-and-eye switch we all love and expect from conventional bras. The two cups are formed from planter halves that comfortably snap together with the ease of Velcro. Interior padding seamlessly transitions to protective arm guards, shielding the adventurous wearer from the environmental affronts of sun, dirt and pollutants, and the neck strap is, naturally, outfitted in reflectors to ward off avian intrusion, and adds lovely halter effect. Attached is hose detail for proper irrigation, a pouch for potting soil and—you guessed it—rice seedlings to ensure a prosperous start. Matching panties include work gloves and are emblazoned with the Japanese characters for “a good harvest.”
The company cites a cultural swell in agriculture as its inspiration, though western thought might attribute it to the most fashionable way to assimilate into this whole gluten-free craze. Unfortunately, Freshpair won’t be the official carrier of My Tanbo Bra, as it isn’t for sale, but here are three bras overflowing with floral detail that might scratch that green thumb itch.
