Japan's My Chopstick Bra


In Japan, a "chopsticks bra" has been unveiled for busy women by Triumph International. The bra maker wants to pass the "green" message with hopes will cut down on disposable chopsticks.

The "My Hashi Bra" (or My Chopstick Bra) comes with collapsible chopsticks stashed inside the body of the brassiere. One cup resembles a rice bowl and the other looks like a serving of miso soup.

Triumph spokesperson Hiromi Shinta said: "Its small step, but because many Japanese chopsticks are disposable, big chunks of forests are being cut down. So we thought we could help promote the use of "My Chopsticks" and help cut down on disposable chopsticks."
