The present invention relates to a method and a structure for attaching nonslip members to both sides of a sock, in which nonslip members having a variety of patterns may be firmly attached to an inner side and an outer side of a sock, which need a nonslip member, using a mold, the nonslip member includes air holes to be smoothly ventilated, and a size of the nonslip member is adequately adjusted according to a thickness and an area of the mold.

Methods of manufacturing a garment apparatus are provided. The garment apparatus can be, for example, a device, a panty, a boyshort, a short, a lingerie item, a barrier, a garment, an undergarment, a membrane, a prophylactic, and/or a system.

A method of manufacturing a bra, comprising providing a first fabric layer as an outer layer, a second fabric layer as an inner layer, and a material made of thermo-adhesive polyurethane film that joins elements between the two fabric layers in a finished bra; sprinkling the first fabric layer on a side facing the second fabric layer with a reactive hotmelt polyurethane glue, which is reactivated only once; applying the thermo-adhesive polyurethane film on a side of the second fabric layer facing the first fabric layer; superimposing the two fabric layers such that the side of the first fabric layer covered with the glue faces the second layer and the thermo-adhesive polyurethane film portions applied to the second fabric layer face the first fabric layer; joining the two layers by hot-pressing with the thermo-adhesive polyurethane film portions, and reactivating the polyurethane glue to become temporarily in a liquid phase and triggering a cross-linking process causing the glue to solidify permanently.

Polymeric netting comprising polymeric ribbons and polymeric strands, each of the polymeric ribbons and polymeric strands having a length and a width, wherein the length is the longest dimension and the width is the shortest dimension, wherein a plurality of the polymeric strands are bonded together to form a netting layer, wherein adjacent polymeric strands in the netting layer are bonded intermittently at multiple locations along their respective lengths, wherein the netting layer has first and second opposing major surfaces, wherein the polymeric ribbons have a height-to-width aspect ratio of at least 2:1 and a minor surface defined by their width and length, and wherein the minor surface of a plurality of the polymeric ribbons is bonded to the first major surface of the netting layer. Polymeric netting described herein are useful, for example, in an absorbent article.

A system for making a garment includes a molding body configured to exhibit different heat profiles when contacting a continuous piece of fabric. The different heat profiles cause asymmetrical and/or eccentric deformations of the continuous piece of fabric.

A process for thermo-adhesive bonding of semi-finished products includes preparing an inner sock, an outer sock and an impermeable membrane provided with a thermo-adhesive disposed on an inner surface and/or an outer surface of the membrane; fitting the inner sock onto a rigid reference shape; fitting the membrane over the inner sock; fitting the outer sock over the membrane; heating the outer sock, the membrane and the inner sock arranged on the rigid reference shape in an oven until at least partial melting of the thermo-adhesive; cooling the outer sock, the membrane and the inner sock arranged on the rigid reference shape until cross-linking of the thermo-adhesive and stable bonding of the membrane to the outer sock and/or the inner sock. Also, exerting a substantially uniform pressure on the outer sock, the membrane and the inner sock disposed on the rigid reference shape during cooling, so as to compact them.

Method for manufacturing a bra, comprising the steps of: providing a first fabric layer (11), designed to realize the outer layer of the underwear article, a second fabric layer (13), designed to realize the inner layer of the underwear article and a third material (17) made of thermo-adhesive polyurethane film, designed to realize permanent joining elements between the two fabric layers (11, 13) in the finished article; sprinkling the first fabric layer (11), on its side destined to face the second fabric layer (13), with a reactive “hotmelt” polyurethane glue, capable of being reactivated only once; applying said thermo-adhesive polyurethane film (17) on the side of the second fabric layer (13) destined to face the first fabric layer (11); superimposing the two fabric layers (11, 13), with the side of the first fabric layer covered with glue faced towards the second layer and the thermo-adhesive polyurethane film portions (17) applied to the second fabric layer facing the first fabric layer; joining, by hot-pressing, the two layers of fabric (11, 13) with the aforesaid thermo-adhesive polyurethane film portions (17) interposed between them, reactivating the reactive polyurethane glue to bring it temporarily into a liquid phase and subsequently trigger a cross-linking process that causes the glue to solidify definitively for the fixing of the parts; thermoforming the article according to the desired shape.

A barrier garment apparatus and methods of its use are provided. In an embodiment, the barrier garment apparatus is shaped like an undergarment and worn during oral-vaginal and/or oral-anal sex to protect another person's mouth, lips, tongue, saliva, nose, and breath from contact with the wearer's vulva, perineum, anus, and surrounding areas, in order to prevent the transmission of bacteria, sexually transmitted infections, fluids, tastes, and scents. The barrier garment apparatus is thin, substantially non-porous, elastic, effectively skin-tight, and aesthetically attractive. The barrier garment apparatus can be, for example, a device, a panty, a boyshort, a short, a lingerie item, a barrier, a garment, an undergarment, a membrane, a prophylactic, and/or a system.
