The present invention relates generally to brassieres, particularly to brassieres for fuller figured and plus size women, and more particularly to brassieres for fuller figured and plus size women to wear during sporting activities. According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a brassiere comprising a cradle, two straps and two cups each for receiving a breast, each of the cups having an around cup edge section, an underarm edge section, a neckline edge section, a center edge section and an apex, wherein the brassiere further comprises a Y-shaped control panel generally extending from the straps across the top of the neckline edge section of each of the cups and down the center edge section of each of the cups to the cradle.

A clothing article for breast support is shown and described. The clothing article for breast support with removable underwire includes a front portion having two breast support sections. At least one underwire is removably secured around a lower perimeter of each of the two breast support sections, wherein the underwire is a single piece. A strap system is secured to the top of each of the breast support sections. The strap system is further secured to a side of each breast support, wherein the straps are connected to opposite sides of each breast support section.

An adhesive for securing a nipple shield to a breast. The breast adhesive includes a flexible member, having a front side and a rear side, wherein the rear side can secure to both a breast and a nipple shield simultaneously. The flexible member includes U-shape with a first end and a second end disposed opposite one another, such that the first end and the second end are symmetrical about a vertical axis. An outer perimeter of the flexible member includes a plurality of curved flanges therealong that adhere to a user's breast. In operation, an inner perimeter of the flexible member is positioned interior to an outer perimeter of the nipple shield and the outer perimeter of the flexible member is to be positioned exterior to the outer perimeter of the nipple shield.

The present invention relates generally to brassieres, particularly to brassieres for fuller figured and plus size women, and more particularly to brassieres for fuller figured and plus size women to wear during sporting activities. According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a brassiere comprising a cradle, two straps and two cups each for receiving a breast, each of the cups having an around cup edge section, an underarm edge section, a neckline edge section, a center edge section and an apex, wherein the brassiere further comprises a Y-shaped control panel generally extending from the straps across the top of the neckline edge section of each of the cups and down the center edge section of each of the cups to the cradle.

Provided herein are undergarment pads comprising an outer portion having a convex shape, a corresponding inner portion having a concave shape, wherein the outer portion is coupled to the inner portion through at least one curved edge; and an apex elevated from a base surface of the pad.

The present disclosure relates to support members for brassieres and other clothing. The support member may be manufactured by additive manufacturing, subtractive manufacturing methods, and injection molding, among others. The support member may include a thickness gradient devised to support a breast. The support member may be customized to the anatomy of a particular user. The support member may include one or more biometric sensors.

Disclosed embodiments include an upper body shaper garment for women. The garment contours the breasts and other aspects of the chest area into a fashionable form by delivering distinct amount of compression force at select areas of the garment. In various embodiments, the shaper garment includes a support area covering the breasts and a shaping area including one or more compression zones for moving the support area to enhance the appearance of the wearer. The shaper garment may be knitted from one continuous piece of fabric with the compression areas knitted directly into the base layer. The shaper garment may also include one or more transition zones between the areas and/or zones of the garment to smoothly transition between different areas and/or zones.

A bra including a closure system, the closure system including a first layered fabric body, a second layered fabric body, a loop assembly secured to the first layered fabric body, and a hook assembly secured to the second layered fabric body. The hook assembly is configured to interface with the loop assembly to secure the first layered fabric body to the second layered fabric body, and the first layered fabric body includes a flexible supporting layer, where the flexible supporting layer is configured to provide rigidity to the second layered fabric body such that the second layered fabric body maintains a flat configuration when it is secured to the first layered fabric body.

Embodiments comprise a breast prosthesis. The prosthesis includes a body and a set of straps. In some embodiments, the body is comprised of a cover, on which the straps are disposed, and internal components. The straps connect the body to the person's undergarment in such a way that doesn't need sewing to the undergarment itself. The straps also hold the prosthesis in place, such that it doesn't shift or move, or does so very minimally. A person can use their own bra or similar garment of their choosing, instead of having to purchase a special mastectomy bra.
