Coconut bras, made from half coconut shells, are associated with Pacific regions and are now mainly used as novelty items at theme parties. They are uncomfortable and inflexible, but can be a conversation starter. The making process involves harvesting and drying the coconut, and drilling holes for string attachment. It is important to choose the correct size when purchasing.
A coconut bra is a bra that is made from half coconut shells. In general, these bras are associated with temperate regions of the North Pacific and South Pacific, including Hawaii, Polynesian areas, and other archipelagos that dot the region. Today, the coconut bra is mainly used as a novelty item at theme parties.
While at some point in the past there may have been a practical use for the bra, this is no longer the case. Softer, more flexible and more supportive materials have carried it out. While in the past, the islanders may have had to use whatever resources they had on the island, a globalization of the economy has ensured that this is no longer the case.
The making of a coconut bra comes from harvesting coconuts, which come from certain species of palm trees. While not all palm trees will produce coconuts, the ones that generally do produce a fair amount of them. Only one coconut is needed to make a complete coconut bra.
Once the coconuts have been harvested, the next step is to prepare the coconut for use as a bra. Doing this involves splitting the coconut in half horizontally and then drying it. Once tried on, holes can be drilled in various parts to attach string or whatever other material is used to hold the bra cups to the body.
While coconut bras can be considered bra alternatives, they are generally not for practical use. They are extremely uncomfortable and not very flexible. Therefore, they are rarely used when comfort is the main concern. However, there could be other situations where the coconut bra is a bra of choice.
When going to parties where the topic is important, the coconut bra can be a very interesting topic of conversation. Those who do not want to buy one may decide to buy a shell bra. Both are generally the same concept; they just use different materials for the bra cup.
Those who are in the market for one of these bras may want to consider trying a fit in person, rather than ordering online or through a catalog. Due to the inflexible material, it is important to choose an exact size. Otherwise it could be quite painful, or at least very uncomfortable, for the user. If it is not possible to install it in person, it is advisable to ensure that it is ordered well in advance, in case it needs to be returned.
