Lingerie makers in Japan have unveiled the 'Nice Cup in Bra', which can be removed, rolled out and used as a putting mat for the keen golfing lady.

Triumph has designed the new bra to appeal to Japan's busy golfing women.

The green corset-style garment can be removed and unrolled to create a 1.5m-long putting mat.

When the user sinks a putt into one of the cups, a built-in speaker pumps out a congratulatory "Nice shot!".

The bra also features pockets for extra golf balls and tees, and a detachable flag pin that serves as a
score pencil.

The bra set comes with a skirt with the words "Be Quiet" printed on the rear, which doubles up as a flag for use on the course.

Tee Off: A model wears a 'make-the-putt bra', the bra that turns into a putting mat for the busy golfing woman.

Quite how the user is supposed to cover herself when she removes the underwear is unclear.

Social causes

Twice a year, Triumph unveils a new novelty bra in Japan to highlight social trends.

The novelty bras are generally designed to raise awareness of an issue, rather than be worn regularly.

The company claims the Nice Cup in Bra is a response to the growing popularity of golf among women in Japan.

Previous years

In previous years the company have invented the postal bra with pockets for letters and a chopstick bra made from miso soup and rice bowls, with a special holder for chopsticks.

In May they unveiled the novelty husband hunter bra, which features a countdown clock that stops once an engagement ring is inserted into the mechanism, and plays Mendelssohn's 'The Wedding March'.
