Seinfeld fans across the world would tend to believe a bra made specifically for a man is just another of Kramer's wild ideas, but it's an idea that is actually picking up steam in Asia.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

A silky bra has become a instant hit in Japan, with men.

Experts suggest Japanese men find wearing a bra under their shirts "relaxing."

For about 2,800 yen, or $28, men can purchase a white, black or pink "mansier."

i am fine being non-relaxed, not going to "pick up any steam" at my house....WTF?? oh yea it's japan.

Isnt this kind of the equivalent of men wearing an undershirt under their business shirts?

I didnt look to see if there was a picture... is it supporting anything? Or is it just an undershirt-esq thing?

    Japanese are among the kinkiest people on the planet, and Japanese men are by far the kinkiest of them all.

    Some may want these bras for comfort. But a certain amount want bras because it's a symbol of what makes women powerful. By wearing one, they seek to capture and experience some of that power.

    Nothing new for Japanese men. Doing it more openly is the only new thing. Obtaining women's clothes "for research" used to be relatively hidden. Or so I hear.

      Sorry, I have no interest in sampling the erotic menu in Japan. In a place where they had to shut down a business for selling menstrual blood of virginal teenage girls...

      ...that's waaaaaaaaaaay past "giggles-tee-hee" weird.

      That's "we're not in Kansas (or on Earth) anymore Toto" weird.
