A garment having one or more wipe zones for transferring away perspiration from a wearer's skin upon contact with the wearer's skin is provided herein. The wipe zones may be comprised of hydrophobic material formed from yarns having a smaller denier per filament (DPF) than adjacent non-wipe zones on the garment. In some aspects, the DPF of the wipe-zone material is within a range of 0.025 to 0.0025. The wipe zones may be positioned on an outer-facing surface of the garment or an inner-facing surface of the garment in areas that are readily accessible to remove perspiration from the wearer's hands and/or head. Methods of manufacturing a garment having wipe zones are also provided herein.

The invention herein discloses a full-coverage-controlling undergarment configured to extend from above the navel up to the mid torso, even up to about below the breast region, to below the creases where a leg of a wearer joins the abdomen in front and below the buttocks in the rear. As part of the undergarment, front leg-hole defining edges are configured with a shallow arc adapted to enable the pair of front leg-hole defining edges to run along a natural crease where a leg of a wearer joins the abdomen. A pair of opposing leg-hole defining edges are configured with a straight edge adapted to enable the buttocks of a wearer to be contained within the straight edge. Moisture and heat management material is provided in the undergarment to ameliorate skin issues that are endemic to skin on skin contact resulting from a pannus and/or excess skin folds.

An underwear system which includes underwear having a front panel, a back panel, a pouch, a waist band, and a lining. The underwear provide support, comfort, breathability, wicking capability and ease of motion with the use.

An article of clothing can be used to reduce or prevent the occurrence of prolonged skin-on-skin contact, rashes, irritation, intertrigo, infections, discomfort, or chaffing. Such an article of clothing has a moisture management material made up of at least an outer layer, an inner layer, and a tab. The moisture management material is attached to a portion of the article of clothing via a tab of the moisture management material. The moisture management material may be of various shapes and sizes and preferably fits within a prescribed area of the article of clothing. The moisture management material may be variably positioned within the article of clothing to provide differing results such as additional support and/or moisture absorbing or moisture moving where necessary. Preferably the article of clothing is a brassiere but may be a shirt, diaper, pants, socks, panties, or other undergarments.

A moisture management fabric using denier differential to facilitate the movement of sweat away from the wearer's body is presented. An exemplary moisture management support garment constructed from an exemplary moisture management fabric is presented. An exemplary moisture management support garment is a moisture transporting sport bra. A denier differential is employed to provide superior moisture transporting and evaporation of perspiration from a wearer during exertion. The denier differential relies upon a facing layer and a back layer with substantially different yarn thickness and fabric porosity to achieve fluid transport.

The invention relates to an absorbent garment inlay configured for attachment within an underarm portion of a shirt. The inlay includes an inner layer having a wicking material, configured to wick moisture therethrough, and an outer layer having an absorbent material. The outer layer is configured to absorb moisture wicked through the inner layer.

The invention relates to a transpiration leak protection element. which consists of a moisture-proof membrane layer, a cover layer of a smaller size which is attached thereto, and a moisture-permeable pocket filled with a highly absorbent material.

A layered undergarment. The layered undergarment includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer fits tightly against the wearer's upper thigh and the second layer is disposed over the first layer and rests loosely against the wearer's lower thigh. The first and second layer are each continuous with an elastic waistband that encircles the waist of the wearer. The first layer is preferably composed of a sweat absorbent material while the second layer is preferably composed of a breathable material.
