The Bra Dryer Keeps Your Lingerie in Order

— February 21, 2009 — Art & Design
The Bra Dryer is a device designed to dry your bras without ruining the lingerie’s fabric. LikeCool notes, “Bra Dryer is a patent pending design for an appliance for drying bras without ruining their fabric, wiring and padding is to dry them on a shape which resembles female breasts[sic]. That’s why the Bra Dryer is shaped like a female torso.

Why not just dump the bras in the drying machine as usual, and if they get damaged just swing by Victoria’s Secret for more?

On second thought, I forgot we are in the middle of an economic meltdown. In that case, I’ll wait for the panties dryer to be invented so that I can become the proud owner of a pair of medieval suit of armor for my rack and my ass.
