Japanese company unveils clip-on fan to cool your armpits
Japan is home to some of the biggest tech companies in the world. It is the country that gave us the Walkman (portable cassette player) and more recently the PlayStation series of gaming consoles.
While we love Japan for its contribution in the tech world, you can't deny the fact that these people sometimes tend to go overboard. Take for instance, the latest gadget from the land of the rising Sun. A company named Thanko has developed a tiny clip-on fan to cool your armpits during the hot and humid Japanese weather.
Dubbed as Waki no Shita Kura (armpit cooling device), this small cooling device ensures the air flow under your arms. Tipping the scales at 30 grams, the device comes with three speed controls. Powered by three AAA size batteries, it can run for five to nine hours.
From what I can understand from the translation, this armpit cooler costs 1980 Japanese yen, which translates to around $18. However, unless your sweating issue is one-sided, we suggest you buy a pair of Waki no Shita Kura.
