Undergarments to be worn beneath protective equipment are provided. The undergarments include a primary material comprising a wick away material, the primary material defining a wearable undergarment; a plurality of pockets comprising the wick away material, wherein the plurality of pockets are attached to the wearable undergarment at positions that will contact an area on the wearer identified as routinely being irritated by the protective equipment; and a plurality of removable spacers comprising a secondary material, different from the primary material. The plurality of removable spacers are inserted into and/or removed from corresponding ones of the plurality of pockets. The plurality of removable spacers create space between the undergarment and the wearer of the undergarment to allow airflow and reduce heat trapping.

A noncompressive undergarment is configured to be donned by a wearer and worn underneath a garment to restrict direct contact between the wearer and the garment. The undergarment includes front and back undergarment panels each presenting a top margin extending along a neck opening of the undergarment. The undergarment includes opposite undergarment sleeves that are each connected to the undergarment panels and at least partly form respective shoulders of the undergarment.

Shapewear enhances the appearance of areas of a wearer's body, including the abdominal region. Typical shapewear that targets the abdominal area is often uncomfortable, because it uses methods to provide additional control to the area that also decrease the flexibility of the fabric. The shapewear garment disclosed herein includes a region configured to cover the abdominal region of a wearer. The abdominal region of the shapewear garment includes at least one dart provided in the fabric. The fabric of the shapewear garment is a high-elasticity fabric containing from about 20% to about 60% elastane. The darts in the abdominal region increase the control in the targeted abdominal area without significantly decreasing the flexibility and comfort of the high-elasticity fabric.

Differing from conventional approaches for improving sexual dysfunction of an adult man being commonly achieved by letting the adult man administer a dosage of synthetic drug or a composition of Chinese herbal medicines, the present invention particularly discloses a method for treating male sexual dysfunction by using underpants comprising far-infrared fibers. Clinical data have proved that, after wearing this underpants for 3 months, both the men diagnosed with sexual dysfunction and the men not sure to suffer from sexual dysfunction have an apparent progress on improvements of their erectile ability, erectile quality, ejaculation control ability, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Moreover, clinical data have also proved that, despite the fact that a male person wears the underpants provided by the present invention for three months, there is no adverse effect induced by the underpants for causing the physiological condition of the men be abnormal.
