This line of luxury lingerie and loungewear is designed to regulate your body temperature. Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, Giapenta uses TempPro technology to adjust the wearer's temperature and keep you comfortable in hot weather and warm climates. Based in Miami, the new company was founded by Kris Strouthopoulos, who aims to bring a concept often found in activewear to women's underwear. The CEO was inspired by technology used at Sleep Number, suggesting the luxury lingerie is also appropriate for sweaty sleepers.
Encouraging women "to raise their expectations when it comes to their intimates," Giapenta features not just high performance fabrics, but beautiful and problem-solving design solutions. In addition to bra-related heat issues, they also address concerns including strapless bra placement, natural shaping and adjusters.
