Bra Dryer is a patent pending design for an appliance for drying bras. Some lingerie is very, very expensive. Sometimes you can pay $500 – $700 for a couture bra from Guia La Bruna or I.D. Sarrieri.

If you pay for your bras over $50 (most women wouldn’t) then you should take a good care of it. For example, if you have a nice car then it makes sense to put it in a good garage overnight and to make sure it gets necessary maintenance. Same with luxury lingerie — sometimes you pay for it too much to ruin it by not washing and drying it properly.

I bet he didn’t have kids!
