The Japanese are an inventive bunch, and their creativity is not reserved for the world of electronics only. The normal bikini (derived from the Latin word bi which means "two", and kini that carries the meaning "square inches of Lycra" according to Gizmodo's dictionary) has seen some pretty great times, but those days could be numbered with the Boobkini. This piece of gadget (it barely crosses the line as the technology packed inside is really something) clothing manages to defy gravity even after you've taken a fair number of laps around the pool. Move over, Wonderbra - the Boobkini is in the house.
