According to some embodiments, a garment includes an outer layer including a front half and a rear half and an inner layer disposed between the front half and the rear half. One or more openings allow access to an area defined between the front half and the inner layer. A plurality of sensory objects may be affixed to the inner layer and disposed in the area defined between the front half and the inner layer.

A method of treating skin in a subject is provided. A method of reducing an appearance or effect of aging in a subject is also provided. Methods of improving skin integrity and/or skin surface topology in a subject are further provided. The methods comprise administering an effective amount of a preparation comprising ammonia oxidizing microorganisms to the subject. Related preparations and kits are also provided.

The present invention is related to a pair of underpants for patients with bedsores. The underpants include an underpants body and a patch. The underpants body includes a front half portion, a rear half portion opposite to the front half portion, and a crotch portion corresponding to the genital of the patient with bedsores and connected to the front half portion and the rear half portion to form a lumbar opening and two leg openings. The patch includes a fabric layer, an absorbent layer and a waterproof layer. The absorbent layer attaches to the fabric layer, while the waterproof layer attaches to the absorbent layer. The waterproof layer is adapted to attach to an inside surface of the underpants body so that the fabric layer may contact with the bedsore parts of the patient and thus absorb the moisture of the bedsores.

The present disclosure relates to a sock for preventing ankle injury of a subject, comprising a sock body which includes a leg section and a foot section, wherein the leg section comprises a fixation band comprising a first zone of high compression, configured to contour the transversal leg subject body, wherein the foot section comprises a second zone of high compression positioned to match the back of the ankle of the subject and configured to minimize subject adduction/abduct ion movements; a third zone of high compression that bounds to the subject leg section and foot section with a X-shape that begins in the fixation band and contours the plant of the foot section and the upper part of the foot section, configured to restrict the movement of subject plantar flexion, namely eversion/inversion movements, wherein the first zone and the second zone of high compression are bound by a vertical band, wherein such vertical band accompanies laterally the peroneal alignment path of the subject ending in the fixation band, wherein the remaining zones are low compression zones.

A method of preventing progression of an appearance or effect of aging in a subject is provided. A method of preventing, limiting, or inhibiting injury to skin integrity in a subject is also provided. A method of substantially maintaining a state of skin integrity in a subject is further provided. A method of preventing a topographical change of a cutaneous layer of skin in a subject is still further provided.
