Description

  The present invention relates to a breastfeeding bra provided with a three-dimensionally molded mold cup portion.

The use of a brassiere having a mold cup portion that functions as a cup has a thickness of about 1 mm to 5 mm that is three-dimensionally formed into a dome shape. The brassiere with such a mold cup part has less surface unevenness than the brassiere that is three-dimensionally formed by draping, and has less surface unevenness, so that it can be worn on the brassiere. The use is increasing due to the fact that irregularities do not appear on the surface and the ease of wearing.
A breast-feeding brassiere having such a mold cup portion has also been proposed for pregnant women (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-106303 (first page, FIG. 1)

However, when the brassiere having the mold cup part of Patent Document 1 is used, there are the following problems. In the brassiere disclosed in Patent Document 1, the left and right cups are molded, and the molded cups are configured to cover the entire breast. And since this molded cup is molded, it is a relatively hard material and has little stretchability. In particular, the peripheral edge of the molded cup presses the breast of a lactating woman. There was a problem of stimulating unnecessarily.
Also, when breastfeeding by opening the molded cup itself to expose the breast, the molded cup is hard material and difficult to open. It can also touch the face.
Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, can reduce irritation to the mammary gland of a breastfeeding woman while holding the breast including the nipple, and further facilitates opening of the cup portion at the time of breastfeeding. An object of the present invention is to provide a breast-feeding bra that can make it difficult to hit an infant's face.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the first aspect comprises an under part whose rear surface is detachable by selecting a length, a cup part formed on the front surface, and a shoulder strap part connecting the rear side from the front side. In the breast-feeding brassiere in which the upper end of the cup part can be attached to and detached from the shoulder strap part so that the breast can be exposed, a mold having a predetermined three-dimensional thickness is formed on the inner surface side of the cup part. A breastfeeding bra characterized in that a cup part is formed and is formed on an outer surface side of the cup part and extending at least from an upper edge of the mold cup part to have a stretchable part having elasticity. Is achieved.

According to the configuration of the first invention, the three-dimensionally molded mold cup portion is formed on the inner surface of the cup portion. On the outer surface side of the cup portion, a stretchable portion having stretchability is formed so as to be stretched at least from the upper edge of the mold cup portion.
Thereby, since there exists an expansion-contraction part along the upper edge of a mold cup part, the irritation | stimulation to a mammary gland can be reduced. And since the upper edge of a cup part is an expansion-contraction part, it is easy to open a cup part when exposing a breast at the time of breastfeeding. And when the cup part is opened, the mold cup part can be made relatively small compared to the conventional one by the presence of the expansion / contraction part, so the peripheral part of the mold cup part may not easily hit the baby's face. it can.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect of the invention, a wire portion housed in a bag-shaped housing portion is disposed along a lower edge of the cup portion that becomes a boundary between the under portion and the cup portion. The inner under part located between each cup part is extended more than the inner end part of the wire part, and the inner end part of the mold cup part is near the end part of the wire part. It is fixed.

According to the structure of 2nd invention, the wire part accommodated in the storage part made into the bag shape is arrange | positioned along the lower edge of the cup part used as the boundary of an under part and a cup part. The inner under part located between the cup parts is extended from the inner end part of the wire part, and the inner end part of the mold cup part is fixed in the vicinity of the end part of the wire part.
Accordingly, the mold cup portion is arranged so as to avoid both mammary glands inside the breast particularly subjected to compression, and the cup portion is easily opened and closed because the hard wire portion does not hinder the movement of turning the cup portion.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, a substantially middle region of a peripheral edge portion connecting the inner end portion and the outer end portion of the mold cup portion has a dome shape with respect to the top portion of the mold cup portion. And arranged so as to pass through the nearest position.

According to the configuration of the third invention, the substantially middle region of the peripheral edge portion connecting the inner end portion and the outer end portion of the mold cup portion is located closest to the top portion of the mold cup portion that is dome-shaped. Pass through.
As a result, the distance from the dome-shaped top of the peripheral part of the mold cup part can be reduced, so that the curved end in the direction approaching the inner side (breast side) is restrained from moving toward the inner side, and the upper part of the breast is compressed. Can be prevented.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, the stretchable portion is disposed so as to cover an outer surface of the mold cup portion, and three-dimensional molding substantially equivalent to the mold cup portion is performed. Features.

According to the structure of 4th invention, the expansion-contraction part is arrange | positioned so that the outer surface of a mold cup part may be covered.
Thereby, the mold cup part can be entirely covered and held by the entire surface of the stretchable part, and the shape of the mold cup part conforms to the shape, thereby making the breastfeeding brassiere inconspicuous. Can do.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce irritation to a mammary gland of a breastfeeding woman while securely holding the breast, and to easily open the cup portion at the time of breastfeeding. Can be hard to hit the baby's face.
