The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bottom wear capable of suppressing a situation in which an underwear worn by a wearer is slid in a wearer's stature direction with respect to the wearer's waist portion. The means for achieving the purpose is a bottom wear including a waist-encircling section, wherein a cylindrical part including a cloth of bottom wear and a planar material different from the cloth, or a cylindrical part including a planar material different from the cloth of bottom wear is present at a back portion of the waist-encircling section and inside the bottom wear, the cylindrical part is disposed in such a manner that the axis direction of the cylindrical part is substantially parallel to the waist-encircling direction of the waist-encircling section, the static friction coefficient of the inner surface of a rear portion of the cylindrical part is 0.2 or more and 1.0 or less, and the stress of a front portion of the cylindrical part at 10% elongation in the transverse direction of the cylindrical part is 10 N/25 mm or less.

An individual who has had a limb amputation and wears a prosthetic limb on an amputated residual limb may have a difficult time adjusting the prosthetic limb discreetly in a public setting. Described herein are articles of clothing, access opening systems, clothing cuffs, or devices for securing a prosthetic limb to a residual limb fitted with the prosthetic limb and for providing access to the prosthetic limb discreetly without removing a substantial portion of the clothing.

A headwear assembly is disclosed having an oximetry sensor and a circuit assembly configured to measure pulse and oxygen level for a user during exercise and/or physical activity. The oximetry sensor is positioned in a front section of the headwear assembly, proximate to the forehead when worn. Other sensors can also be included with the headwear assembly, such as temperature, blood pressure, and so on. The headwear assembly is configured to securely conform about a user's head when worn, such that the oximetry sensor is positioned and effectively immobilized on the forehead above the eyebrows. The headwear assembly can further provide integrated functionality with an external electronic device, such as a smart mobile phone. The headwear assembly can include a wireless charger for charging a rechargeable battery disposed on the headwear assembly.

A garment includes an interior surface, a strap sheath carried by the interior surface and establishing a strap tunnel, a strap movably extending through the strap sheath and being slidable in the strap tunnel relative to the strap sheath. Lower and upper body versions of the garment are also disclosed, as is a method of repositioning an appendage of a wearer of a garment.

An activewear garment having facial opening formed on an anterior side of an upper head portion of the garment. An elastic securing band is attached to the upper head portion. The elastic band includes a top portion and a bottom portion, each portion having a first end and a second end. There are first and second gaps between the respective ends of the top portion and bottom portion of the elastic band to facilitate the insertion and removal of items intended for insertion in or on a user's ears such as, for example, ear pods and athletic glasses.

New garment-fastening techniques are provided. In some embodiments, a new form of adjustable hair tie is provided. In some such embodiments, a new form of scrunchie is provided. In some embodiments, the new form of scrunchie includes widely-variable, user-adjustable tension, elastic cushioning disposed on or about a contact area with a user's hair, and a smooth (e.g., silk) surface. In some embodiments, the contact area surrounds and defines a central hair-gripping void with a user-variable size, and includes a substantially flattened support and profile. In some embodiments, a new form of waistband, wristband, or other clothing-fastening band of material is provided. In some such embodiments, a new form of garment enhancement device, incorporating a unique pattern of alignment- and grip-enhancing sub-elements, is provided on or about such a band, which improves garment positioning, and provides a non-stick hold on a user's body.

An item of clothing is adapted to be worn against the skin, and comprises at least one panel adapted to provide targeted compression of at least 20% of the total length of a specific surface vein in the body, or adapted to provide targeted compression of at least 20% of a specific plexus of veins, a specific lymphatic plexus, drainage plexus or a collection of lymphatic vessels. The clothing is useful in a method of reducing recovery time in a human or other mammal, after a period of activity and in a method of enhancing performance, in particular sports performance, in a human or other mammal. It may also improve the conditioning of the skin and aid lymphatic drainage, and can be used in the treatment of certain medical conditions.

Aspects herein are directed to a grip film or grip film kit comprising an edge trim portion and at least one ovoid portion. The edge trim portion may have a wave-shaped configuration in which the ovoid portion is at least partially disposed. Other aspects herein are directed to an extremity covering portion comprising the grip film on at least one opening to provide grip that may assist in maintaining the position and/or configuration of the extremity covering portion on the body of a wearer.

The garments disclosed herein have integrated gripping technology to grip the body of the wearer over large interior surfaces. The distribution of gripping technology throughout the garment gives increased freedom of body movement and reduces bulkiness over conventional garments, while also allowing for free cut edges. Furthermore, the dispersion of the gripping technology over the majority of the garment eliminates the problem of polymer strips and beading digging into the skin. Slip garment embodiments are disclosed herein that include a lower region having an interior surface with exposed elastic threads configured to directly contact the wearer. The slip garment embodiments include a free-cut lower edge. The slip garment embodiments can be constructed using cut and sew methods.

A disposable scented face mask designed to provide a therapeutic scent to a user while wearing a disposable mask. The disposable scented face mask is a disposable mask having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface is designed to cover a nose and a mouth of a user. A scented area is disposed atop the exterior of the disposable mask. An adjustable nose clip disposed on the inner surface of the disposable mask along a top edge, wherein the nose clip is designed to contour to the nose of the user. At least one strap is disposed on each opposing side of the disposable mask, wherein each strap is designed to secure the disposable mask to the face of the user. In this way, a user is able to wear a disposable mask that encompasses a therapeutic scent.
