A brassiere apparatus is disclosed for supporting a user's breasts, the user having an upper torso. The brassiere apparatus can include a support strap and a pair of breast cups connected to the support strap, the breast cups oriented on the support strap to receive respective breasts of the user when the support strap is secured around the user's upper torso. Each breast cup can include an outer layer having an outer perimeter, an inner layer, and a modesty element positioned between the outer and inner layers and positioned to form an annular gap between the modesty element and the outer perimeter of the outer layer. The modesty element can be positioned on the breast cup to cover an apex of a user's breast when the brassiere apparatus is worn by a user.

A pad may include a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface and the second surface may have a spherical curvature, and wherein the spherical curvature may be complementary to the bra portion. A pad may include a plurality of synthetic fibers disposed between the first surface and the second surface, wherein each of the plurality of synthetic fibers may contact the first surface and the second surface. A pad may include a pad permeability configured as a function of a quantity of the plurality of synthetic fibers and a length of the plurality of synthetic fibers, the pad permeability may be adapted to allow fluid passage of a liquid and prevent retention of said liquid.

A collection of bras includes a first set of bra cups including a first pair of bra cup sizes, an inner face of each bra cup in the first set having a first padded area having a first shape. The first padded area has a height that is between first and second percentages of a cup height of each bra cup in the first set. A second set of bra cups includes a second pair of bra cup sizes that are larger than the first pair of bra cup sizes relative to a given band size. An inner face of each bra cup in the second set has a second padded area having a second shape that is different from the first shape. The second padded area has a height that is between third and fourth percentages of a cup height of each bra cup in the second set.

A bra liner is an apparatus that conforms under a breast and is positioned in between the breast and a bra cup. The apparatus includes a flat liner body and at least one piece of adhesive. The flat liner body presses against the underside of a breast and an inner surface of a bra cup. The flat liner body includes an absorbent layer and a backing layer. The absorbent layer collects and retains sweat from the breast. The absorbent layer is connected across the backing layer. The absorbent layer and the backing layer are coextensive with each other. The at least one piece of adhesive is distributed across the backing layer. The at least one piece of adhesive is fixed onto the backing layer, opposite to the absorbent layer. The apparatus further includes a sealing sheet to prevent the at least one piece of adhesive from sticking to unwanted surfaces.

Aspects herein are directed to a bra system comprising a single-piece pad insert and a bra having a front portion with a pocket in communication with a pocket space formed between two textile layers used to form the front portion of the bra. The single-piece pad insert is used to provide shaping, modesty and support. When desired, a wearer can insert the pad insert into the bra by way of the pocket opening.

The present invention relates to the field of undergarments, bras, or swimsuit accessories, and is directed to providing a bra cup having sustainable three-dimensional corrugations and a manufacturing method thereof with simple processes. The bra cup is formed by compression molding with a composite layer material and has a protruding outer side face and a concave inner side face. The outer side face has outer corrugations of the cup that are formed by compression molding. The composite layer material comprises at least: an outer fabric layer; an inner fabric layer; and an intermediate foaming layer. The intermediate foaming layer has a first surface bonding to the outer fabric layer and a second surface bonding to the inner fabric layer, the first surface having second protruding or concave corrugations, the second protruding or concave corrugations mating with the first protruding or concave corrugations to form the outer corrugations of the cup.

Provided herein are undergarment pads comprising an outer portion having a convex shape, a corresponding inner portion having a concave shape, wherein the outer portion is coupled to the inner portion through at least one curved edge; and an apex elevated from a base surface of the pad.

A fabric of a cup body of a brassiere includes an inner textile layer, an outer textile layer and a middle textile layer. A first weaving region and a second weaving region of the outer textile layer respectively include a plurality of composite yarns. Each of the composite yarns includes a first yarn and a second yarn. A melting point of the first yarn is lower than a melting point of the second yarn, and an offset rate of the second yarn relative to the first yarn is from 5% to 300%. A content of the composite yarns in the first weaving region is greater than that in the second weaving region. A content of the composite yarns in a third weaving region of the outer textile layer is less than that in the second weaving region. The first weaving region is at a lifting area of the cup body.

The present invention provides a bra cover and an adjustable and removable bra using it, the bra cover comprising a bra, a textile and a sling assembly, the bra comprising a bra strap and at least two pieces of bra pads, the sling assembly comprising at least two roots of shoulder strap and a band, the adjustable and removable bra comprising a fastening kit and a bra cover, the fastening kit comprising a plurality of attachment buckle and a plurality of adjustment buckle.

Disclosed is a brassiere having breast cups configured with inflatable bladders specifically positioned and configured to manipulate the breast tissue of a target breast into a lifted position whilst simultaneously displacing laterally sideways/outward and downward a contra-lateral breast. The brassiere is configured to lift the target breast away from the chest wall and to stabilise the breast so as to increase treatment accuracy and reduce radiation dosage to high risk organs such as the heart and lung. The brassiere according to the subject invention is advantageous to be worn by women for the treatment of either the left or right breast whilst providing modesty during treatment delivery.
