Definitions
- the present invention relates to a clothing insert and in particular to an insert for use by women to prevent their clothes riding up and to
- the present invention aims to mitigate or obviate some or all of the problems discussed above.
- the front of the insert is taken to be the part of the insert which, in use, is positioned toward the front of the user and the rear of the insert is taken to be the part of the insert which, in use, is positioned toward the back of the user.
- the upper surface of the insert is the surface that will be closest to the user's genitalia in use, with the lower surface being on the opposing side.
- a clothing insert adapted to be worn under clothing which, in use, covers the wearers external genitalia resulting in a smooth outer profile, characterised in that the insert is more rigid transversely than it is longitudinally thus allowing greater flexibility of movement longitudinally than transversely.
- an insert which is more flexible longitudinally than transversely is more comfortable for the user and is able to fit more closely to the wearer's body whilst maintaining its function and providing a smooth outer profile.
- the cross section of the insert is more curved towards the rear of the insert than the front of the insert.
- the shape of the cross section of the insert changes as you travel along the length of the insert with a wider and flatter cross section provided toward the front of the insert and a narrower and more curved cross section provided toward the rear of the insert.
- the insert is formed with multiple layers.
- the insert is provided with an elongate upper layer and an elongate lower layer, wherein the upper layer is wider than the lower layer.
- the upper layer is formed from a more flexible material than the lower layer.
- the edges are soft and flexible, providing comfort to the wearer of the insert and allowing for users of different body sizes.
- the insert may be provided with an outer surround or coat and a central or inner core.
- the outer surround is a silicone material.
- the inner core is a plastic material.
- the inner core is a more rigid material than the outer surround.
- the inner core is shaped to run longitudinally through the insert and be wider in some sections than in others.
- the insert in this manner means that the insert will still be flexible along its length but wider sections will cause the insert to be more rigid, or more stiff, across its width.
- the inner core is provided as a plurality of elongate elements positioned transversely along the width of the insert.
- the elongate elements may be conjoined by a strip running longitudinally along the length of the insert.
- the insert may be provided with a means for affixing the insert to a wearer's clothing.
- the insert is provided with means for affixing on its lower surface.
- the insert is provided with an adhesive strip on its lower surface.
- the adhesive strip may be provided with a protective cover that can be peeled off prior to the user attaching the insert to their clothing.
- the insert may be provided with means for improved adherence to a user's body.
- the upper surface of the insert may be formed from a silicone material adapted to adhere to skin.
- the insert is provided with means for ventilation.
- the means for ventilation are apertures running through the insert from the upper to the lower surface.
- the insert is formed from hypoallergenic materials.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of an insert according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a cross section view of an insert according to a first
- Figure 3 is a side view of an insert according to a first embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of a partial torso showing the positioning of the insert in use
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the insert of the present invention.
- Figure 6A and 6B are cross section views of a second embodiment of the insert according to the present invention.
- Figure 7 is a plan view of a further embodiment of the invention.
- an insert 1 that is adapted to be worn under clothing (as indicated in figure 4) to cover the outer profile of a woman's pudendal cleft or external genitalia.
- the insert 1 is provided as a relatively thin silicone and polyurethane pad which is shaped to generally conform to a user's pubic region. The insert is wider and flatter at the front 1a and narrower and more curved at the rear 1b, which has been found to improve the comfort of the wearer.
- the insert 1 is provided with an upper layer 2, which is made from a moulded silicone, and which is both soft for comfortable positioning against the wearer's body, and hypoallergenic.
- the upper layer 2 is adapted to be worn closest to the user's external genitalia.
- the insert 1 also has a lower layer 3 attached to and positioned below the upper layer 2.
- the lower layer 3 is a semi flexible polyurethane material which has more rigidity than the silicone upper layer 2. This allows the insert 1 to retain more flexibility longitudinally than across its width (as shown in figure 3).
- the lower layer is narrower than the upper layer such that there is an overhanging skirt 4 of softer upper layer on either side of the insert 1 (as can be seen in figures 1 and 2).
- the edges of the skirt 4 will come into contact with a wearer's groin region and in particular the area or groin fold at the top of a wearer's legs, it is useful to have some flexibility to allow for differing body shapes.
- the soft edges 4 also ensure that the insert 1 does not rub against a wearer's skin during movement such as walking or running.
- the insert 1 is further provided with apertures which act as ventilation holes 5.
- the ventilation holes 5 extend through the lower layer 3 only, however they can also extend through the upper layer 2 if required.
- the upper and lower layers may be formed from different materials, however the upper layer in this embodiment would be formed from a more rigid material than the lower layer.
- the lower surface of the insert i.e. the opposing side to the upper layer
- the adhesive strip Prior to use the adhesive strip can be provided with a peel off backing, the type of which is generally known in the art.
- this type of insert 1 would be a single use disposable insert. It could be envisaged that alternative types of insert may be provided for re-use, however these typically would not be provided with an adhesive strip and instead may simply be held in place between the users inner thighs.
- Re-usable versions of the insert would generally be formed from washable materials.
- An alternative and preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in figures 5 and 6A B.
- the insert 10 is instead provided with a plastic inner core 30 surrounded by a silicone outer coat 20 (shown in figures 6A and 6B).
- the insert 10 as a whole is generally only 2-3mm thick with the inner core being approximately 1 mm thick.
- the inner core is approximately 1 mm thick.
- the plastic 30 is selected to be more rigid/less flexible than the surrounding coat.
- the plastic may be, for example, polyethylene, polyurethane or polypropylene. It is also envisaged that the inner core could also be a silicone material rather than a plastic, however it would be a more rigid (or less flexible) silicone than the outer coat material.
- the plastic core 30 is shaped such that it has an elongate central trunk 17 with branches 18 extending from the trunk 17 at regular intervals across the width of the insert 10. The thinner areas of the core 30 allow for flexibility along the length of the insert 1 whilst the wider sections provide more rigidity across the width of the insert 10.
- Figures 6A and 6B show cross sections of in insert 10 of this type at two different points.
- the shape of the cross section changes as you move along the length of the insert 10, being wider and flatter at the front to fit across the pubic symphysis area. Again the insert 10 will have more flexibility longitudinally than across its width in the region of the inner core (although the edges of the insert 10 that are closest to a wearer's legs will be entirely outer coat so will be comfortable).
- the inner core 300 will generally be an elongate shape extending from the back to front of the insert 100. In preferred embodiments the inner core 300 will interconnect with the outer coat. As discussed above the inner core may be branched, however, as shown in fig 7, there may only be small, irregular areas between branches which may be filled with outer coat 200 material. Irregular branches have the added benefit of holding the inner core 300 securely within the outer coat 200.
