Just when you thought there were no other uses for your sexy, red bra (other than seducing the doctor down the block) a woman from Ukraine is here to prove you wrong.
After studying the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster in 1986, Dr. Elana Bodnar invented the Emergency Bra, winning her the Ig Nobel Public Health prize in 2009. Her “life supporting” invention is a bra that can protect you from harmful gases. Tucked in the cup of the lingerie is a butterfly valve that makes it possible to take a in fresh breath of breast.
With just a few quick and easy modifications to your size C cups, you can quickly convert the bra into a pair of protective face masks, one for the brassiere wearer and one for a lucky bystander. Remember what the airlines tell you — always apply your mask first. You can purchase one here for less than $30.
A male counterpart is already in the works. No comment.
