A wet sportswear takeoff helping device for the upper sportswear that is worn extremely tight to the wearer's skin; where the takeoff helping device includes one or more guides for guiding the corresponding drawstrings and a handgrip used for activation. The guides are made on the back part of the upper sportswear, each guide begins close to the hemline and propagates to the upper part of the sportswear in a continuous way, or having one or more interruptions formed along the guide. Pulling of the handgrip by the wearer's hand causes lifting of the sportswear's hemline towards the wearer's neck to facilitate removal. The invention is applicable to an ordinary T-shirt takeoff device for helping elderly or disabled people to take off the upper garment.

An Anti-Plumber Crack Shirt is a shirt or garment worn by a person to support their pants from sagging and prevents the shirt from becoming untucked when the shirt is tucked into pants while using a belt. The shirt contains wedges attached to the bottom of the shirt that will be tucked into pants below the belt line. These wedges act as an upward force in opposition to the pants downward force thus holding the pants up similar to suspenders but without straps or any connectors. The wedges that are attached to the bottom the shirt get wedged between the person's body and the pants beneath the belt line making it difficult for the shirt to become untucked resulting in the pants not being able to sag any further.

A hem insert is adapted for forming an inwardly or outwardly-turned cuff in a garment. The hem insert comprises an elongated flexible strip having opposing ends and opposing longitudinal straight edges. The hem insert is adapted for insertion into a sewn circumferential hem of the garment, and the hem subsequently folded by a wearer to form the cuff.

The present invention provides a garment for lower parts of the body wherein the garment comprise volume enhancement pads sewn into the interior of buttock area of the garment. The pads provide voluminous look to the buttock of the person wearing the garment. The pads are sewn between the interior surface and lining of the garment such as to blend with the natural curves of the wearer. The stitching pads to the garment provide the advantage of non-slippage of pads during movements of the wearer.

Aspects directed towards mask-wearing are disclosed. In one example, a garment apparatus includes a shirt and a shirt extension having a first and second end. The first end is affixed to an inside portion of the shirt, and the second end includes a mask attachment mechanism that facilitates attaching and detaching a mask. In another example, a mask apparatus includes ear lobes, a shell coupled to the ear lobes, and a fragrance region positioned on an inner portion of the shell in which the material of the fragrance region is different than the material of the shell. In yet another example, a fragrance apparatus includes a fragrance region in which fluid is absorbed by a moisture-absorbent material, and an attachment mechanism couples the fragrance apparatus to an inner portion of a mask. A seal is affixed to the fragrance region and prevents an evaporation of the fluid.

A device that provides support for sailors while hiking from a sailing vessel is disclosed. The device is a pair of sleeves tailored with pockets under each thigh that allow for supporting pads to be inserted in various combinations. The pads are ergonomically designed and can be designed with internal fiberglass battens, or molded plastic, and optionally in shapes that help apply torque to the boat dynamics. The sleeves are designed with one way stretch to optimize grip to the leg, and constructed in a choice of composite materials to aid durability and comfort.

Transparent facial masks of regenerated cellulose and other personal protective gear such as gowns, booties, surgical caps, surgical drapes, gloves and eyewear are provided.

Disclosed herein is a COVID-19 surveillance method for detecting exhaled virions trapped within used face masks. This is a surveillance and warning system for identifying asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic individuals, particularly essential workers required to wear masks while at work. This can include healthcare workers, first responders, nursing home personnel, postal workers, or employees at meat packing and other production facilities. A piece of filter paper can be added to the inside of a standard face mask, which can be removed at the end of a shift. Mask inserts from a group of employees can be pooled and tested using standard RT-PCR for virions collected during normal exhalation over the time the mask is worn. As envisioned, if the group test is positive, additional follow-up or contact tracing could be initiated to identify the individual or individuals requiring treatment or quarantine.

A detachable capture device for biomaterials may include a capture unit and an attachment unit. The capture unit may have a certain area to be attached biomaterials that causes respiratory diseases thereon, and the attachment unit may be detachably attached to an inner surface of the mask or an outer surface of the mask to fix the capture unit to the mask.
