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. In this way, the nipple shield is secured to a mother while breastfeeding.

A fabric includes an inner textile layer, an outer textile layer, and a middle textile layer. The inner textile layer includes a plurality of microfiber yarns and a plurality of elastic fiber yarns. The outer textile layer includes a plurality of composite yams. The middle textile layer is between the inner textile layer and the outer textile layer and has a plurality of wave-like polyester fiber yarns. Further, the outer textile layer includes a first weaving region and a second weaving region. The content of the composite yarns in the first weaving region is greater than the content of the composite yarns in the second weaving region.

Garments having lightly lined portions with a concealer and related methods are provided herein. For example, a garment can be provided that comprises an exterior fabric that forms an exterior portion of the garment and structural seams that hold the exterior fabric to other sections of the garment. The garment also comprises a disc concealer being secured to an interior portion of the garment without being connected at the structural seams at a position where a reproductive region of a wearer will reside upon the wearer wearing the garment to added an extra layer around the interior area of the garment where the reproductive region is intended to reside.

A method for manufacturing a core-material-containing garment, the method includes: a feeding step of feeding fabric (2) in a wound state onto a conveyor table (1) without relaxing or substantially relaxing the fabric (2); a core material application step of applying a reactive hot-melt adhesive to the fabric (2) on the conveyor table (1) to form a core material (12); an adhesive application step of applying a bonding hot-melt adhesive (13) configured to bond the fabric (2); and a drying step of drying the applied bonding hot-melt adhesive (13), and in the core material application step, the reactive hot-melt adhesive is mixed with nitrogen gas and foamed, and the reactive hot-melt adhesive is applied using an application device provided with a resin discharge unit that is movable in at least two axial directions of vertical and horizontal directions.

A sustainable bra garment that includes first and second cup portions that are formed of one or more recycled flexible materials and first and second side wing panels that extend from the first and second cup portions, respectively, and having first and second cushioning support pads formed of a bio-based foam material that is biodegradable and/or recyclable. First and second cushioning support pads are configured to be coupled with the first and second cup portions, respectively. Each of the pads is formed of an eco-friendly sustainable material, such as a sugar cane-based polymer foam material, that has hardness and density values that provide both cushioning and support to breasts of a wearer of the sustainable bra garment. The cushioning support pads may be used with a bra garment or with other garments such as swimwear and other apparel where bra support pads can be incorporated.

An adjustable brassiere includes a pair of cup parts, a base part supporting the cup parts, a back part, and straps. Each cup part has, on its back surface, an underbust adjustment pocket and a volume adjustment pocket. The base part is continuous with the cup parts and has a stretchable skin-side base part and a front-side base part that are layered. The front-side base part includes a wire insertion part that has substantially the same curve as a curve of a lower edge of the cup part on a front surface. The skin-side base part and the front-side base part are fixed to each other at the front center tops, side edges, and a lower end, and the cup lower edge of the skin-side base part and the wire insertion part of the front-side base part are not fixed to each other, except for both ends thereof.

An enhancer for simulating breast tissue includes a first layer of material and a second layer of material coupled to the first layer of material, where the second layer of material includes a wicking material. The enhancer also includes an third layer of material and a fourth layer of material both disposed generally between the first layer of material and the second layer of material. The third layer of material includes a plurality of monprene beads, and the fourth layer of material includes a plurality of open cell poly foam pieces. The enhancer further includes a fifth layer of material disposed at least partly between the third layer of material and the fourth layer of material, where the fifth layer of material is configured to inhibit mixing of the monprene beads of the third layer and the open cell poly foam pieces of the fourth layer.

A support garment includes a support band extending laterally around the wearer's torso and two cups. Each cup includes a form-fitting enclosure and a cantilevered support form secured to the support band. Each support form has a first and second lateral appendage; a first and second fulcrum; and a medial support structure. The first fulcrum joins an inferior end of the first lateral appendage with a first end of the medial support structure and the second fulcrum joins an inferior end of the second lateral appendage with the second end of the medial support structure. The weight of the breast is transferred by rotational force around each fulcrum through each lateral appendage to the support band across the back of the wearer by way of tension.
