Insight into Environmentally Friendly Bras

By Tiffany Hart

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?

How far has the green movement come? It is now considered a golden marketing word and is being applied to just about anything no matter how strained the connection. Ladies bras are even going green these days.

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.

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.

Triumph International is one company that has gone strange with brassieres. A Japanese company, it makes wild brassieres. In fact, it has a new product that recycles the billions of chopsticks produced around the world.

When you think green, a bra made out of recycled chopsticks probably does not come to mind. Well, this bra is exactly that. It converts chopsticks into materials that can be used for the cups and so on. With 25 billion pairs of chopsticks thrown away each year, it is a good idea.

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?

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?

Strange bras are good to discuss and look at, but not to wear. Fortunately, going green simply requires you to switch from microfiber materials to organic cotton. Hey, you can get comfort and be green at the same time.
