The string wear-supported skin guard includes a waist strap, first and second spaced thigh strings that depend from the waist strap, and one or more detachable absorbent components connected to at least one of the thigh strings. Opposing ends of each thigh string are connected to the waist strap, such that a generally U-shaped loop is defined by each thigh string. Each thigh string can include a generally C-shaped hip string. When the string wear-supported skin guard is worn by a user, the waist strap encircles the user's waist, the hip strings encircle the user's hips, and the thigh strings extend between the hip region, inner thigh area, and buttocks of the user. The one or more absorbent components overly the inner thigh of the user to provide a skin guard for the prevention and treatment of skin irritation and skin rashes in the inner thigh area.

A protective flavored thong including a waistband configured to extend around the waist of a wearer, a crotch band, and at least one flavor ridge applied centrally along the crotch band. The thong provides an erotic female under-garment that is convenient to wear, visually appealing, accentuates the wearer's womanly curves, and provides protection against sexually transmitted diseases during cunnilingus for both the wearer and her sexual partner. Additionally, the thong includes a flavor ridge that imparts a pleasant flavor, also providing lingual and tactile guidance to the woman's partner during cunnilingus in an environment with possibly limited visual guidance. The flavor ridge can be applied to a backing layer that is applied centrally along the crotch band. The crotch band can include a panel of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to serve as a protective barrier against transmission of STDs between the wearer and her partner during cunnilingus.

A lower garment gusset portion reinforcement system is provided. The system embodies a gusset insert for operatively reinforcing the gusset portion. The gusset insert may be made of a breathable, stretchable material. The gusset insert may have an upper portion and a lower portion. The shape of the upper portion is defined by lateral edges that arcuately taper inwardly and backwardly toward the lower portion, so that the upper portion has a sloped thickness, while the lateral edges of the lower portion continuously arcuately tapers inwardly but provide a uniform thickness. The sloped thickness and tapering lateral width enables reinforcement of the associated gusset portion for preventing folding along a longitudinal axis, while still enabling the gusset insert to bend in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis about the thickness of the gusset insert so that it conforms to the wearer's lower torso.

The present invention relates to a garment (1), and more particularly an underwear, sportswear or swimwear garment (1) for a female. The underwear, sportswear or swimwear garment comprises an open-sided structural frame (10) and a fabric covering (20) for the structural frame. The structural frame (10) includes an anterior contoured loop (15) and a posterior stem (12), relative to a wearer of the garment in normal use, wherein the anterior contoured loop (15) is adapted for surrounding the mons-pubis region, genitals and anus of a female wearer and has a perimeter that is contoured to conform to and engage with the anatomy of the female wearer. A portion of the perimeter of the anterior contoured loop (15) is adapted for tensioned engagement with the inner thigh muscles of a female wearer when worn, in a standing position or whilst walking. The posterior stem (12) is shaped so as to be engageable by the gluteus maximus muscles of the female wearer when worn. The anterior contoured loop (15) and the posterior stem (12) are formed in a sprung-biased arrangement relative to one another such that when the underwear, sportswear or swimwear garment (1) is worn on the female body, a tensile force is transferrable from the posterior stem to the anterior frame portion.

A sport undergarment for running or similar sports, including a main opening having a strap to be worn on the hips of a user and a main portion connected to said strap and provided with two side openings, each for the insertion of a respective leg and provided with a respective side edge to be fitted at the level of the groin and/or thigh of the user when the undergarment is worn, is described. The main portion of the undergarment is configured so that at least one intermediate back portion thereof can be inserted into the intergluteal groove between the buttocks of the user and has at least first anti-slip means for restraining said at least one intermediate back portion in-between the buttocks of the user.

An absorbent article for use as an undergarment hygiene product comprises: a first portion having an elliptical shape and a first width; a connecting portion extending from the first portion and having a second width; a second portion extending from the connecting portion and having a third width, the third width greater than the second width; and, a fastening system arranged on an outer surface of the absorbent article for fixing the absorbent article to an inner surface of an article of clothing. Another absorbent article for use as an undergarment hygiene product comprises: a longitudinal axis, a first portion having an elliptical shape and a first width symmetrical about the longitudinal axis; a connecting portion extending from the first portion and having a second width; a second portion extending from the connecting portion and having a third width, the third width greater than the second width; a fastening system arranged on an outer surface of the absorbent article for fixing the absorbent article to an inner surface of an article of clothing: and, wherein the second portion includes a middle section including the longitudinal axis and having an edge perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the middle section between first and second wing sections, the first and second wing sections symmetrical about the longitudinal axis.

A bodybuilding competition suit number tab is provided. The suit number tab embodies a tubular tab of stretch material for securing a competition number to a competition suit without fear of damaging the suit, or making the competitor uncomfortable during competition, or the number falling off. The tubular tab may be formed by folding a sheet of stretch material so that opposing ends generally align, and then joining the opposing ends. The tubular tab may then be inverted and joined to a bottom portion of the competition suit before connecting the competition number to the tubular tab, utilizing the space provided by the lumen of the tubular tab.

The present invention encompasses a pelvic groin support garment having at least two adjustable groin straps, an adjustable waist belt, and an adjustable pelvic groin area support pouch or apron which can be used by both men, and women, who have any kind of injury or insult causing edema or discomfort in the pelvic or groin or genital area. The invention also provides a method of using the inventive pelvic groin medical garment for injuries or trauma in the genital area by both men, and women. The inventive straps that are secured to the adjustable waist belt are configured to go around the thighs, and around the buttock, and below the user's intergluteal cleft, which increases the user's comfort, and enables the user to more easily maintain a higher level of hygiene, and support for a fully adjustable individualized fit.

The disclosed invention is a human body clamping device. In one significant fashion application as a pelvic retainer principally for female use, it facilitates an open-sided thong-like garment. Whereas all clothing garments that extends from the waist down (bottoms, pants, underpants, skirt, bathing suit bottoms, etc.) must currently wrap entirely around the waist in order to stay up, this invention allows fashion designers to design new styles of garments that allow the hips to be fully exposed. The novel clamping mechanism in this invention, combined with nano-grip fabrics and surfaces, ensures that the invention remains secured to the body. For medical and therapeutic applications, it provides controlled pressure on a body part.
