If you're a bachelor who grew up without sisters, perhaps the biggest surprise you'll find upon cohabitating with a woman is that the shower becomes a drying ground for lingerie. To get around this, a California-based company named Infilta has come up with a concept design called the Bra Dryer:
...the best way to dry bras without ruining their fabric, wiring and padding is to dry them on a shape which resembles female breasts. That's why Bra Dryer is shaped like a female torso.A very gentle infrared (IR) heat source helps evaporate moisture from the bra fabric while silent fans inside the appliance help remove this moisture.
In short, Bra Dryer will
1. Dry bras faster
2. Preserve bra shape
3. Free your timeOne size doesn't fit all...
That's why Bra Dryer will come in different breast and chest size variations which you will be able to mix and match. Breast pieces made of silicon rubber are detachable and will come for bra sizes from B to DD. The torso part will come for size couples e.g. 30-32, 34-36 and so on.
Infilta has a patent pending, and they're shooting for production in 2010.

Seems the epitome of unnecessary to me. Like pretty much every other woman I know I dry my bras in the same way I dry everything else. Modern fabrics do just fine in the dryer.
Looks like I perfect computer tower case Dry your bras and house your computer.
Wow! I can't get over the uselessness/ugliness/misguidedness of this product! What happened to good old fashioned air for drying stuff, or a dryer if you have one? Why would I want to spend a lot of money on a tool that looks like the lovechild of a 90s boom box and an iPod to dry my underwear in a comical fashion, only to then find that I put on some weight and I have to go and buy another one for my new sized bras. Wrong!
The only "female torso" that resembles is mine in the 80's.
Didn't we all just decide (at compostmodern) that we weren't going to design more junk?
If their research points to helping women dry their bras, maybe they should be designing better bras... not bra appliances. How about a bra that doesn't absorb water? and thus has no need for drying? Hello!?!
this is one of the best ideas i have seen in a long time. drying bras puts the shower out of commission for a whole day.
hedwig says "You cant put a bra in the dryer, it warps!" and when you have to wear unusually sized bras that cost about $100 each, warping is your enemy. i cant wait for this product to come out.
I buy $20 bras and put them in the dryer. Perhaps the design flaw that needs fixing is in whatever bras some people seem to be buying that can't handle heat.
