BAGUALING, China - The Chinese are serious about
building a better bra. There's now a degree in bra
studies at Hong Kong's Polytechnic University.
And China's biggest lingerie manufacturer, Top Form,
has a bra lab at its factory. The company makes more
than 60 million bras a year for well-known labels like
Victoria's Secret, Playtex and Maidenform.
The Wall Street Journal reports Top Form has been
experimenting with various types of padding to give
the bust a boost. They've tried air, but like tires it
was prone to flats.
Oil-filled pads were too expensive and heavy.
Now, the company is trying a filling made from a thin
type of fiberfill, the stuffing used ski parkas.
