New bra grows your own rice

A Japanese lingerie maker has created a bra that grows rice.

The Triumph Japan bra features pots instead of cups, and a plastic water hose with seedlings acting as a belt.

It even comes with a pair of detachable fareming gloves, reports The Sun.

The grow-your-own bra was created to raise awareness of food self-sufficiency, allowing the wearer to cultivate rice any time, anywhere.

Yoshiko Masuda, of Triumph, said: "Over the last year, young Japanese women have taken a tremendous interest in agriculture.

"We wanted other women to experience farming as well. That's what inspired this bra."

Triumph Japan has a reputation for making "gimmick" underwear that conveys a political message.

Last year, Triumph made a bra that featured food bowls around the cups, allowing busy women to eat on the go.
