Archeologist Beatrix Nutz, of the University of Innstruck, has discovered 600 year old bras, long before the first bras were thought to have been used, in the 19th century.

The discovery of the four linen bras was made while renovating an ancient Austrian castle.

"Medieval written sources are rather vague on the topic of female breast support, sometimes mentioning 'bags for the breasts' or 'shirts with bags'," Nutz says in a statement on the university's website. "Other sources only mention breast-bands to bind down over-sized breasts."

A Japanese manufacturer, Triumph, has developed an "Ice Bra" meant to help female residents cope with Japan's hot summers and still save electricity.

The new bra contains pre-packed ice packets molded into the shape of the bra and is meant to provide a comfortable alternative and to keep cool while outdoors. It even comes with a mini fan as an add-on option.

The bra used colors and patterns to look like a fish tank and an optional bamboo "cooling" skirt is also available.
