Mia's post on Olga's Smooth Benefits underwear got me taking a closer look at something I've paid little attention to when at lingerie departments.

If a Cosmetic Bra is what you want, Triumph International's range for the Asia-Pacific market gives you a choice of four.

• Sea Cell, "made with fabrics derived from natural seaweed - rich in minerals, vitamins and amino acids"

• Silk Protein, which "exudes the smooth Silk Protein Sericin, and is charged with negative ions"

• Bio Energy, made "with the infrared emitting Masonic N Fibre from Kanebo" (apparently it will warm a woman,Aeos breasts by one degree celsius, thereby stimulating blood circulation!)

• Aloe Vera, made with "an advanced fabric technology including Aloe Vera"
