Buyer Beware the Brassage? The Naked Truth About 'Healthy' Underwear
ABC News Examines the 'Brassage' and 'Micro-Massage' Panties That Claim to Have Health Benefits
By JUJU CHANG and ANDREW PAPARELLA
March 30, 2009

Attention women: What if you could detoxify your breasts and get rid of cellulite by wearing a special bra and panties? Some clothing manufacturers are suggesting that their products can do just that.

The Brassage, billed as a revolutionary "wellness bra," retails for as much as $59. It's produced by Intimate Health, an apparel company run by Christina Erteszek, the daughter of famous lingerie designer Olga.

"I have seen a lot of breasts in my life, more than any man could dream of," said Erteszek, who claimed to be wearing a Brassage during her interview with ABC News.

Regular bras could be hazardous to your health, she says, because they trap toxins in the breasts. Her Brassage, however, has "massaging" bumps sewn into the sides that "stimulate lymphatic flow," flushing those toxins away.

6. Oh noes!
Symptoms of boobay contact poisoning include feeling hot, shortness of breath, drooling, and a rush of blood to the genital area.

5. Haha.
I love how Christina Erteszek makes sure to get in the disclaimer in the video interview. "It's healthy for you! But I'm not making any health claims..." Good work Juju Chang!
