The IgNobel price for cu(s)p catastrophes

They use it in case of emergency....

Sexy red lingerie and heavy breathing have traditionally gone hand in hand. But a bra from inventor, Dr. Elena Bodnar, is designed to let people breathe easier. Her Emergency Bra is a protective device that transforms from a bra into two respiratory pace masks to filter out harmful airborne particles, such as those released by fire, explosion, terrorist, radiological, biological attack, and natural disasters.





Recognizing that most people don’t generally carry around specialized respiratory devices, Dr. Bodnar designed a device that would be at hand when needed. The bra was an obvious choice because the majority of women wear a bra every day and the cups are already in the shape of a facemask. She added a few design features to give the bra the extra functionality, including shoulder straps that easily convert into adjustable head straps, flex inserts along the top rim of the cups which mold tightly around the nose and bridge area, and an inner liner/filler that acts like a butterfly valve during inhale cycles.
