Aspects herein are directed to a support garment testing system comprising a torso form having a motion tracking sensor associated with one or more breast structures of the torso form. A support garment is secured to the torso form, and the torso form is mounted on a motion platform that, when actuated, causes displacement of the breast structures. The amount of displacement is measured by the sensor, and the data is used to assign a level of support provided by the support garment.

A hook-and-eyelet retainer protects a brassiere hook-and-eyelet clasp from becoming detached in the laundry to prevent damage to the brassiere, other undergarments in the laundry and/or the laundry machine. A hook-and-eyelet retainer has a first and a second retainer portion that are coupled together by a hinge. The first and second retainer portions pivot about the hinge to receive a hook-and-eyelet clasp and wing band. The hook-and-eyelet retainer is then closed and a post on a first retainer portion extends through a closure aperture on a second retainer portion to secure the hook-and-eyelet retainer in a closed position. A plurality of teeth extends up from one or both of the retainer portions to grip onto the hook-and-eyelet clasp and/or the wing band. One or both of the planar retainer portions may be recessed to accommodate the thickness of the brassiere hook-and-eyelet clasp or clasp strap or hook-and-eyelet and wing band.

Disclosed is an artificial intelligence infrared thermal imaging bra system with breast disease detecting function. The system includes a side support, two chest support layers and two shoulder straps; the two shoulder straps are fixed at both ends of the side support, and the two chest support layers are symmetrically fixed between the two shoulder straps at the top of the side support; the two chest support layers are internally provided with sliding mechanisms that are adjustable according to different chests of users; a rotating mechanism for driving the sliding mechanisms to move is arranged between the two chest support layers at the top of the side support, and the rotating mechanism and the sliding mechanisms are in transmission connection; one end of the side support is fixed with a sub-buckle, and the other end of the side support is provided with a stretching mechanism.

A fused brassiere according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an outer fabric having elasticity; a lining having elasticity and configured to form a first pocket portion and a second pocket portion by being bonded to the outer fabric by being compressed against an inner surface of the outer fabric; a first cup-shaped pad portion and a second cup-shaped pad portion inserted into the first pocket portion and the second pocket portion, respectively; and a core member made of a material having elasticity lower than the outer fabric, formed in a region between the first pocket portion and the second pocket portion and in a circumferential portion of the first pocket portion and the second pocket portion, disposed between the outer fabric and the lining, and bonded together when the outer fabric and the lining are compressed against each other, wherein the core member includes: a first connecting portion formed to surround lower portions of the first pocket portion and the second pocket portion; a second connecting portion formed to surround upper portions of the first pocket portion and the second pocket portion; and a third connecting portion connecting the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to each other, wherein a first cup-shaped pad portion includes a first breast point BP1, and a second cup-shaped pad portion includes a second breast point BP2; and wherein the first connecting portion is formed to surround the first pocket portion and the second pocket portion so that when viewed from the front, opposite ends of the first connecting portion are disposed higher than the first breast point and the second breast point, respectively.

A supportive clothing article for a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD), including a belt, the belt including a first end with a first portion of a fastener and a second end with a second portion of the fastener, wherein the belt is structured to fasten around the torso of patient below the chest area of the patient, the belt including a first conductive mesh portion adjacent the first end of the belt or the second end of the belt, two straps, a back portion extending from the belt at an intermediary position on the belt to each of the two straps, the back portion including a conductive mesh, a first support receptacle attached to and extending from the belt and attachable to one of the two straps, and a second support receptacle attached to and extending from the belt and attachable to the other of the two straps.

The present invention teaches a multi-layered nursing garment. The multi-layered nursing garment includes breasts support having a pair of breast cups, shoulder straps and a chest band. Each breast cup is comprised of two or more layers. Further a clasp for attaching an outer removable layer with a shoulder strap and a clip is configured for attaching another, inner layer. The invention provides a number of combinations of clips, clasps, and layers but which a breastfeeding woman can selectively open the nursing garment to accomplish breastfeeding and/or milk pumping from either breast, and has the capacity to engage in said events simultaneously.

An absorbent garment has a pair of breast cups, each having a layer of moisture-wicking one-way transport material, an inner layer of absorbent terry cloth, an inner layer of foam, and an outer layer of water-resistant material. An inner face of the absorbent terry cloth is fully laminated to an outer face of the one-way transport material. An outer face of the absorbent terry cloth is fully laminated to an inner face of the foam. An outer edge of the one-way transport material is coupled to an outer edge of the foam. An outer face of the foam is fully laminated to an inner face of the water-resistant material. The absorbent terry cloth has an outer edge that does not extend to the outer edges of the one-way transport material or the foam such that the absorbent terry cloth is fully enclosed between the one-way transport material and the foam.

A brassiere, including a first cup to support a first breast of a user, a first strap to extend from the first cup to wrap around a first shoulder of the user, a second cup to support a second breast of the user, and a second strap to extend from the second cup to wrap around a second shoulder of the user.
