We girls all know that the best feeling in the world is taking off our bra after a long day at school or work. Freedom! Well what if you took off your bra and then used it as a gas mask? In 2009, The Emergency Bra was awarded the Ig Nobel Public Health Prize. This amazing bra goes from holding up your lady bits to saving your life with just a few quick maneuvers. It works as bra that transforms into a gas mask in case of an air-contaminating emergency. I thought that was a brilliant idea.  So while on the subject of alternative uses for brassieres, I thought I would come up with a list of nifty ways that bras can serve other purposes.

      This is the perfect webpage for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You understand a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually would want to…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject that has been written about for years. Great stuff, just great! BRAS are CONVENIENT!

      You know what this is absurd.
      There's a massive difference between a 28 C/D and a 42 C/D
      You can't say that All C's or DD's are massive -.-

      Haha. Are you serious? getting popcorn in your bra kinda uncomfortable. May I simply say what a comfort to discover someone who genuinely knows what they're talking about online. You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people must read this and understand this side of your story. It's surprising you aren't more popular because you most certainly have the gift.

      Hello, I believe your website could possibly be having internet browser compatibility issues. Whenever I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, wonderful blog!

      I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this in my search for something concerning this.

    Tell us what you're thinking...
