An illustrated view of a no-sweat brassiere insert for preventing and/or eliminating sweat showing while a person wears a brassiere is presented. The no-sweat brassiere insert is useful for preventing sweating and reducing bacteria while wearing a brassiere. Furthermore, the no-sweat brassiere insert is comfortable, cost efficient and machine washable.

A garment pad system comprising at least one pad with a plurality of securing mechanisms located at various points on the pad. A securing mechanism may take a number of forms including an adhesive, fastener, bonding agent, or other mechanism. If a heat sensitive bonding agent is used, a form of heat may be applied to the securing mechanism as it is pressed against the garment such that the mechanism secures to the garment thereby semi-permanently securing the pad to the garment. Once the semi-permanent pad has been secured to the garment, portions of fabric near the pad and spanning the areas between the securing mechanisms is allowed to move, flex, and breath resulting in a more natural and comfortable usage versus conventional pads.

The wearable article 100 comprises an inner fabric layer 101 and an outer fabric layer 11loverlapping the inner fabric layer 101 to form an overlapping region 121. An electronics component 200a, 200b is disposed at least partially between the inner and outer fabric layer 101, 111 in the overlapping region 121. The inner fabric layer 101 comprises an opening 143a, 143b to expose part of the electronics component 200a, 200b.

Articles, such as garments, including films comprising dried aqueous polyurethane dispersions are disclosed, whereby the garment has an altered stress which is exhibited during wear of the garment. The film may be bonded to the fabric of the article to provide a fabric or film laminate.

An apparatus includes a flexible brassiere pad with first interlockable discs are secured to the flexible brassiere pad, wherein each first interlockable disc has a first interlockable member directed to a first side of the flexible brassiere pad. The apparatus further includes second interlockable discs, each having a second interlockable member that is disconnectably connectable to the first interlockable member of one of the first interlockable discs. Optionally, the apparatus may further include, or be used with, a sports brassiere forming a pair of breast cups, each breast cup forming a pocket between inner and outer fabric layers, wherein the pocket is configured to receive the flexible brassiere pad. Connecting the second interlockable discs to the first interlockable discs from opposite sides of the inner fabric layer secures the flexible brassiere pad in a desired position within the pocket.

This application describes a garment adjusting system that utilizes straps connected to textile elements. A male coupling component with a hook is secured to a first textile element using a first strap, and a female coupling component with a receiving hole is secured to a second textile element using a second strap. The male and female coupling components can be releasably mated by inserting the hook into the receiving hole. Once mated, a level of support provided by the first and/or second textile elements may be adjusted by adjustably sliding the second strap through the female coupling component to adjust a length of the second strap.

This invention relates to undergarments for use in active environments, where the wearer of such an undergarment is engaged in an activity that results in accelerating movements. In some preferred embodiments, these undergarments may be athletic or sports bras that redirect momentum related to a wearer's accelerating movements, for example, during exercise.

A modular brassiere that serves as both a modesty garment and an easily-donned support garment. The modular bra includes an elongated support band that is preferably made of elastic material. Hook-and-loop type of engaging panels are used to secure the band around the user's chest. A separate strap assembly may be added to transfer load to one or more of the user's shoulders. The support band includes a proximal end and a distal end. A pocket is preferably included, proximate the distal end. The user can place one or more fingers into this pocket to assist in donning the device. A grip panel is preferably included as well. The grip panel includes a strap loop which the user can employ to also assist in donning the device.

Examples of a breast support garment are disclosed. The breast support garment comprises a front panel with a chest area configured to support a wearer's breasts and dampen an accelerating movement of the breast tissue, and a hydration system that comprises a hydration reservoir and a dispensing tube connected to the reservoir. The breast support garment further comprises a holder that is dimensioned to receive the reservoir of the hydration system and one or more guides to support the dispensing tube. The breast support garment of the present invention integrates the functions of a high support sports bra and a hydration vest or backpack.

A brace for retaining an organ in an expanded state configured to adhere and substantially conform to an external surface of the organ includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and at least one sheet of thin malleable material forming a middle layer between the inner layer and outer layer, the at least one sheet being enclosed and configured to rigidify and maintain the organ in an expanded state upon application of a vacuum. The brace can be incorporated into a brassiere.
