It's officially mid-summer — which means that by now, most of us are over it. And I'm not even talking about the whole summer vacation, stuck-in-the-house-with-screaming-kids part of it. I'm talking about the sweltering heat part; the good-lord-will-someone-save-me-from-this-humidity part.
For people who sweat, summer is the literal worst. We sweat through our T-shirts just walking to the mailbox. We spend hours doing our hair, only to have it go POOF in seconds, thanks to the summer humidity. And most of all, we spend three months living with a permanent ring of sweat around our underboob region (which is its own kind of silent torture, if you ask me). But not now, folks. NOT NOW.
A site called Polar Products is selling sets called Bra Coolers. As in, ice packs for your bra.
They promise to hide discreetly inside your bra and cool you off on warm summer days when nothing else will. (Because who doesn't love to have their boobs set to a refreshing 58 degrees while the rest of your body feels like it's melting into the sidewalk?)
As news of these puppies has swept the internet this week, sweat-soaked women everywhere have been basically been acting like it's the second coming.
"Boob … ice packs?" tweeted one person. "Oh my god I need it."
"OH MY GOD THEY'RE ICE PACKS FOR YOUR BRA I NEED TEN BOOB SWEAT IS NOT A JOKE," tweeted another.
It certainly isn't.
If you're interested, they'll definitely cost you — one set alone sells for $59. But hey, for those of us who spend the summer trying (and failing) to avoid the outdoors at all costs, I'd say they're pretty priceless.
Boob ice packs aren't the only solution to your sweaty summer woes, though. Apparently, bra liners are a thing too.
They may not cool you down like the ice packs, but they'll catch all of that inevitable sweat that loves to pool under your boobies — soaking it up before it reaches your T-shirt. Intrigued?
Belly Bandit Don't Sweat-It Bra Liners ($19.95, Amazon) are made with soft bamboo and cotton, are designed to slide under your bra, and rest comfortably beneath your boobs. There, they will discreetly soak up any sweat that may collect, as you move about your day and curse the summer heat. Instead of sweating through your shirt and leaving your bra all stinky by the end of the day, the liner will absorb your perspiration so you can stay dry and comfortable while you're on the move.
Plus, for those of us with larger chests, who have the added frustration of dealing with underboob sweat rashes, it's like the answer to all our summer chafing prayers.
Once you're back home, simply whip that bad boy off and toss it in the wash -- easy as pie!
Honestly, it's pretty genius. So genius in fact, I wondered why anyone didn't think of this sooner.
Apparently, though, they did: The liners have actually been out for a few years now. But they've been catching some press again this week in Europe and sparking lots of conversation on Twitter.
The clever invention comes from the same folks who brought us the Belly Bandit maternity and postpartum shapewear lines.
Considering how popular the company's belly wraps are, for supporting growing bellies while also allowing moms to wear their prepregnancy pants for longer, it's no surprise it's come up with another clever solution. And best of all, it won't break the bank — they come in black, nude, and white, and they cost just $19.95.
Hallelujah!
