...really? I can't see a use for this at all. If it was for the neck or back or abdominal area I would think it wasn't such a bad idea and I'd probably even consider buying one (cuz sometimes my back hurts and I hafta finish computer work so i can't lay down or anything)

but,I'm sorry Japan, breasts don't have muscle pains nor get cold quickly....and that pad doesn't look like it could cover my entire back.

I wonder if they even consulted with any women when they had this product in mind :/ and if they did, what kind of women did they talk to?

At times like this I'm speechless. So I will turn to the great jedi sage and pimp, Yoda for his wisdom.
I believe he would say,
" Fuck hoes doing crazy shit"

No USB vagina warmer? What a rip-off.

It's no flying panties, which is both a blessing and a curse.

I can only imagine how many complaints women will have concerning burned breasts.....

This might be the both the most useless thing ever invented and the most hilarious.

Truly, the Japanese have learned nothing from Mrs. Doubtfire.

Didn't Moss invent something like this on the IT Crowd?

Come on, how can this be real? Reminds me of the USB toaster box you can buy from the Onion.

Why is there only one breastpad ?

Actually, there IS a use for this crazy thing. Granted I'd never wear one, but only because I wouldn't want to be tied to my computer. Make a wireless warming bra, and you have a customer.

Why? I'm a breast cancer survivor who had a bilateral mastectomy. Because mastectomy takes away all of your flesh and fat, you're stuck with just skin covering your saline/silicon implants. No insulation. And they get cold. UNCOMFORTABLY cold. Like right now I'm sitting at my desk, and it's slightly chilly in my office but my breasts are like ice cubes. It's a pretty miserable feeling.

So, bring on the wireless boob warmers, folks. This is not all that useless for for people like me.

You know, it's not that I don't have times where I'm at my computer typing and suddenly think "damn, my breasts are chilly," but I have a lot MORE of them where I'm typing and I realize my hands are cold.

So I'd really rather someone spent some time developing some good warm gloves that don't ruin my ability to type. :\

Well, I was just about to go on a good rant about how stupid this is and how my breasts never get cold, but Lou has pretty much shut me up. Props to somebody for thinking of how to take this product of evil and use it for good.

lou- go to a sporting goods store and (depending on where you live) you can find portable hand/foot warmers... they are usually made to go in your pockets or your shoes but could just as easily slip into a bra.

Probably a hell of a lot safer than putting AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE ON YOUR BOOBS. And if you think about it, if your power/ heat goes out and your boobs get cold, then these things would be totally useless in a situation where you might need then most.

I smell Xmas presents!

...

I use my boobs to warm my HANDS when they get cold at the computer. I have never, ever had cold boobs. This is... very Japanese.

Like jilliterate I too was about to go on a rant about how boobs don't get cold until I read Lou's post. You learn something new everyday. Hope they being out those wireless warmers.

my hands are cold too S. may i come round yours and warm them up?

@S.

I also use my boobs to warm my hands. It is surprisingly effective. Never had cold boobs.

Jesus japan...I swear these guys are one microchip away from lunchtime semen extraction via the former Zip-drive slot...

I mean if a chick wanted to keep warm @ work (and trust me all the chicks @ my job complain about it being cold like EVERYDAY and walk around in ratty sweaters), why would you just want your tits to be warm as opposed to whatever else you could warm up...What's more hilarious is that tits should be the warmest things you have in a cold office ladies...This is clearly geek fetish material or what the boss uses on his secretary after hours...No practical use, but they said the same thing about the Chia pet I guess X_X'

That's some fine joke-aborting work, Lou! ;) Came here to make the 'Colder than a witch's tit' joke, found out the damned things are actually useful!

And ZADL's right... brilliant episode of IT Crowd featuring a high-tech bra. Second season, I think.

Pfft. Another job taken away by technology. You know, you could just as easily employ a legion of thirteen year old boys to perform this same duty. You'd keep them off the streets, instill in them a strong work ethic, and teach them the value of a dollar/yen. It would faster, safer (no titty fire), less restrictive, and more personable, if a little awkward. Plus, by the time those boys become sexually active, they'd know how to handle them in a way that's mutually gratifying, rather than rabid groping. But Nooooooooo-a-ooooooooo we just haaaaaaad to bring computers into this. In the end, it's the bosoms that suffer. Keep that in mind.

Moss's Abracada Bra! Bless you people for reminding me of that episode. I believe it caught fire at the end.

This is superfluous to the extreme. The fact that a dummy is shown wearing one seems to indicate it is too awkward & uncomfortable for human women. But at least now all the blow up dolls & mannequins can have warm breasts.

Yay?

Honestly speaking, whether in lou's situation or not, I can see a use. The boobs themselves don't tend to get particularly cold, but many of us girls have this annoying thing where when it's even the slightest bit cold, all our blood tends to retreat into our torsos to keep theoretical babies and also their potential food warm....
It's definitely not a panacaea, but warming up the front does seem to let the blood carry on and make a difference to frosty hands and feet! :x

Maybe I just have broken boobs or something but my boobs do get cold - they're actually one of the first parts of my body *to* get cold - so I usually have my arms folded a whole lot in the Winter.

However, a boob warmer that plugs into your usb port is just plain ridiculous. I could easily see myself forgetting about the damn thing, getting up to make myself a cup of tea and ripping my computer from it's resting place on the floor along with all the rest of the shit sat on my desk.

Wireless at the very least would be the way to go if (and only if) they had a guarantee that my tah tahs aren't in danger of being electrocuted.

DEAR GOD, this is not good for any bosses out there that turn the air conditioning up in the office. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
