Inventor seeks market for bra mask
Dr. Elena Bodnar, director of the non-profit Trauma Risk Management Research Institute, said the pink bra with black lace trim can be quickly converted into two face masks perfect for protection during fires, terrorist attacks, dust storms or an H1N1 outbreak, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The bra mask was recognized this month with the Ig Noble Prize, which the Annals of Improbable Research magazine gives out for achievements that "first make people laugh and then make them think."
"The brilliance of my idea is that it's very simple," Bodnar said.
She said women are the target consumers for the product but they are not the only ones who would benefit during a disaster.
"Isn't it wonderful that women have two breasts, not just one? We can save not only our own lives, but also a man of our choice next to us," she said.
