A garment is configured to be worn over a thigh of an individual for protecting the thigh from irritation due to facing surfaces of the thighs of the individual bearing or rubbing against each other. The garment includes an elastic tubular member having a dimension smaller than a length of the thigh of the individual, having a circumference smaller than the circumference of at least a portion of the thigh of the individual, having a top and a bottom, and having an elastic characteristic. The garment also includes gripping member(s) along an inner circumference of the elastic tubular member. Methods of making the garment are also provided.

An article of apparel is disclosed that includes zones with a textile having a structure than changes or is otherwise modified by a physical stimulus, such as the presence of water or a temperature change, to modify a property of the textile. The zones may be along a center back area and/or side areas of the apparel, and the textile may increase in air permeability when exposed to water. In some embodiments, slits are formed in the textile.

Underwear for a human wearer, having adaptive leg openings and size-adjusting fabric-regions. A singular fabric- region of the undergarment is structured as a saddle, located beneath a crotch or gusset area, and extends downwardly along a portion of the upper inner right hip and the upper inner left hip. That fabric-region is formed of a fabric or yarns having a particular elasticity characteristic, that is different from the elasticity characteristics of other fabric-regions of that undergarment; and that provides an increased elasticity, and particularly an increased horizontal elasticity, to that saddle-structured fabric region.

A padded ventilated foot undergarment includes a stocking formed from a flexible, form-fitting material with an opening for receiving a wearer's foot, a toe area, an arch area, and a heel area in combination with a silicone pad featuring one or more perforations configured to provide localized cushioning and enable air exchange for enhanced breathability. Material, manufacturing, design, and construction considerations thereof and methods of manufacture, assembly, and use. The undergarment aids in the prevention and treatment of foot related injuries related to uncomfortable footwear without causing alternative discomfort and/or infection related to moisture buildup of the toes.

Aspects herein are directed to a bra having a front portion formed with multiple layers of mesh to provide a supportive, modest bra that is breathable, lightweight, and quick drying. The front portion includes an interior support panel assembly having a first panel made of a mesh material and a second panel made of a spacer mesh material that is adjacent and external to the first panel. The front portion also includes an upper support panel made of a spacer mesh material and a lower support panel made of a mesh material that each are positioned adjacent and external to the interior support panel assembly. The upper support panel and the lower support panel are each defined by a top edge and a bottom edge, and at least a portion of the upper support panel bottom edge may be positioned superior to the lower support panel bottom edge.

A lower-body garment comprises a left leg portion, a right leg portion and an intermediate portion connecting the left leg portion to the right leg portion. The intermediate portion has a groin covering portion adapted to extend over a groin area of a wearer. The groin covering portion has a 3D textile. The 3D textile has at least one opening. In use, the opening of the 3D textile is stretched and compressed by a walking movement of the wearer thereby creating air movement.
