Abstract
Disclosed embodiments include a layered garment for men. The layered garment includes one or more engineered portions configured to hold and support the genital region of the male body. The engineered portions may include a pocket for holding the genital region and a liner for sealing the genital region inside the pocket.
Description
- The present disclosure claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent No. 63/195,640 titled “LAYERED GARMENTS WITH PACKAGE PROTECTOR,” and filed Jun. 1, 2021, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- The present disclosure relates generally to layered garments for men and, more specifically, to layered garments having engineered portions that support and stabilize portions of the male anatomy.
- Layered garments may contain different functional regions that are accomplished through integration of a variety of discrete materials with a variety of manufacturing techniques to form each of the different functional regions. For example, separate portions of the layered garments may be individually cut from different material sources to eventually be stitched and or adhered together to form the layered garments.
- Traditional lower body garments for men including shorts, pants, tights, leggings, underwear, and the like fit poorly around areas of the male anatomy including the genital region. The garments are either too loose and do not support or stabilize the genital region or are too tight and restrict motion or compress and pinch sensitive areas. The garments also come in a few standard sizes, therefore, poorly fit the body shape of most men. As a result, existing lower body garments are uncomfortable to wear especially during sports, yoga, and other active recreational activities. Accordingly, there is a well-established need for lower body garments that have engineered portions for supporting and stabilizing the male genital region. There is also a well-established need for the engineered portions to be flexible to fit properly on a variety of body shapes and sizes to ensure comfort across a wide range of activities.
- Various objectives, features, and advantages of the disclosed subject matter can be more fully appreciated with reference to the following detailed description of the disclosed subject matter when considered in connection with the following drawings, in which like reference numerals identify like elements.

FIGS. 1-5 illustrate an exemplary embodiment of alayered garment 100. Thelayered garment 100 includes multiple layers that are combined to form a cohesive garment comprising one or more engineered portions that enable different areas of the layered garment to have unique performance characteristics. Thelayered garment 100 shown inFIGS. 1-5 is a pair of shorts but this is just one exemplary embodiment of thelayered garment 100. In other embodiments, thelayered garment 100 may be pants, tights, underwear, leggings, or any other garment worn over the lower portion of the body of the wearer. -
FIGS. 1-3 illustrate the layers that may be included in thelayered garment 100.FIG. 1 illustrates a front view of thelayered garment 100,FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of thelayered garment 100, andFIG. 3 illustrates a rear view of thelayered garment 100. Thelayered garment 100 may include anouter layer 102 that forms the exterior of thelayered garment 100. Theouter layer 102 may be attached to aninner layer 104 to form alayered garment 100 that has an integratedinner layer 104. For example, theouter layer 102 and theinner layer 104 may be attached along acircular seam 110 positioned around the waist of the wearer just below thewaistband 112 of thelayered garment 100. - The
outer layer 102 and theinner layer 104 may be sewn together using any known manufacturing techniques. Theouter layer 102 and theinner layer 104 may be attached along thecircular seam 110 so that one or more portions of theinner layer 104 are loose inside theouter layer 102. For example, thelower portion 106 of theinner layer 104 that covers the upper leg of the wearer just below the buttocks may be loose inside theouter layer 102 and theupper portion 108 of theinner layer 104 just below thecircular seam 110 may also be loose inside theouter layer 102. Additional seams and or other points of attachment may also be used to attach theinner layer 104 to theouter layer 102 to make theinner layer 104 tight against theouter layer 102. For example, theupper portion 108 of theinner layer 104 and an adjacent portion of theouter layer 102 may be sewn together along a second seam located in theupper portion 108 so that theupper portion 108 of theinner layer 104 is tight against theouter layer 102 and thelower portion 106 of theinner layer 104 is loose inside theouter layer 102. Thelower portion 106 of theinner layer 104 and an adjacent piece of theouter layer 102 may be sewn together along a third seam located in thelower portion 106 so that thelower portion 106 of theinner layer 104 is tight against theouter layer 102 and theupper portion 108 of theinner layer 104 is loose inside of theouter layer 102. Theinner layer 104 and theouter layer 102 may also be joined together along thecircular seam 110, the second seam, and the third seam, to make the entire outer surface of theinner layer 104 tight against the inner surface of theouter layer 102. - The
inner layer 104 and theouter layer 102 may both be configured to dynamically adapt to the shape of the body of the wearer as the wearer moves. Theinner layer 104 andouter layer 102 may also be configured to wick moisture away from the skin of the wearer to enhance comfort. Theinner layer 104 may be a breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. For example, theinner layer 104 may be a combination of polyester and lycra and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, theinner layer 104 comprises at least 70% polyester and up to 30% lycra. For example, theinner layer 104 may comprise between 75%-79% polyester and between 21%-25% lycra. In one embodiment, theinner layer 104 comprises 79% polyester and 21% lycra. - The
outer layer 102 may be a breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. For example, theouter layer 102 may be a combination nylon and lycra and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, theouter layer 102 comprises at least 80% nylon and up to 20% lycra. For example, theouter layer 102 may comprise between 85%-89% nylon and between 15%-11% lycra. In one embodiment, theouter layer 102 comprises 88% nylon and 12% lycra. - The
waistband 112 may configured to hold the layered garment around the waist of the wearer. Thewaistband 112 may also be configured to dynamically adapt to the shape of the body of the wearer as the wearer moves. Thewaistband 112 may be a non-slip, breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. For example, thewaistband 112 may be a combination of nylon and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, thewaistband 112 comprises at least 80% nylon. For example, thewaistband 112 may comprise between 90%-99% nylon. In one embodiment, thewaistband 112 comprises 100% nylon. -
FIG. 4 illustrates an exploded view of thelayered garment 100 including theouter layer 102 and theinner layer 104. Theinner layer 104 includes one or moreengineered regions 206. The engineeredregion 206 may be positioned, for example, in a middle section of the front of the inner layer 104 (i.e., a front middle section of the inner layer 104). The engineeredregion 206 may include apocket 202 and aliner 204 that fits around the exterior of thepocket 202. The engineeredregion 206 may be configured to hold, secure, and support one or more areas of the body of the wearer of thelayered garment 100. For example, the engineeredregion 206 may be configured to hold, secure, and support the genital region of a male wearer of thelayered garment 100. -
FIG. 5 illustrates an overhead view of thelayered garment 100 including theinner layer 104 and theouter layer 102. The overhead view shows the inside of the layered garment 100 (i.e., the inner surface of the inner layer 104). The overhead view also shows the inner surface of the engineeredregion 206. The engineeredregion 206 may be formed by combining thepocket 202 and theliner 204 using any known manufacturing technique (e.g., sewing, stitching, gluing, and the like). For example, thepocket 202 may be sewn on to the outer surface of theliner 204. The engineeredregion 206 may be attached to theinner layer 104 of thelayered garment 100 using any known manufacturing technique (e.g., sewing, stitching, gluing, and the like). For example, the inner surface of theliner 204 opposite thepocket 202 may be sewn onto the outer surface of theinner layer 104 so that the front surface ofliner 204 and thepocket 202 are between theinner layer 104 and theouter layer 102 of thelayered garment 100. To facilitate attaching the engineeredregion 206, theinner layer 104 may include an opening and theliner 204 may be attached to theinner layer 104 around the opening so that the opening in theinner layer 104 is covered by thepocket 202 when the engineeredregion 206 is attached to theinner layer 104. Thepocket 202 may also be integrated into theinner layer 104 of thelayered garment 100 so that thepocket 202 and theinner layer 104 are formed from the same piece of material. To accommodate theintegrated pocket 202, theliner 204 may be attached to the inner surface of theinner layer 104 and theliner 204 may be positioned around the perimeter of thepocket 202. -
FIGS. 6-7 are diagrams showing additional details of theliner 204.FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the pieces of material included in thelayered garment 100. Thepocket 202 may be formed from one piece of material and theliner 204 and be formed from multiple pieces of material that partially overlap to form an opening that may be used to access the inside of thepocket 202.FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a magnified view of the engineeredregion 206 shown in the diagram ofFIG. 6 . When the layered garment is worn by a male wearer, the male wearer access thepocket 202 through an opening in a middle portion of theliner 204 to deposit the genital region (i.e., the penis and scrotum) of the wearer inside thepocket 202. The wearer wraps theliner 204 around the genital region with the genital region inside thepocket 202 to secure the genital region inside thepocket 202. - The
liner 204 may include two or more curved portions (i.e., theleft panel 402 and the right panel 404). The curved portions may overlap and or partially overlap to form a layered material. Theleft panel 402 may form the left side of theliner 204 and theright panel 404 may form the right side of theliner 204. Theleft panel 402 and theright panel 404 may each be formed from a curved piece of material. Theleft panel 402 and theright panel 404 may partially overlap at anupper overlap region 412 and alower overlap region 414 to form a curved opening in the center portion of theliner 204 between theupper overlap region 412 and thelower overlap region 414. To provide the curved opening and support the male genital region, the sides of theupper overlap region 412 and the side of thelower overlap region 414 may be curved. Theleft panel 402 and theright panel 404 form a seal around the male genital region that ensures the male genital region is secure inside thepocket 202 and will not fall out of thepocket 202 when the wearer stretches or moves (i.e., bends, squats, stretches, runs, and the like). The lower overlappingportion 414 is placed behind the scrotum of the male genital region when theliner 204 is wrapped around the genital region inside thepocket 202 to provide support for the scrotum and maximize comfort by ensuring the scrotum or other area of the genital region is not compressed or pinched. The lower overlappingportion 414 may include adart 406 or other structure that shapes thepocket 202. - The
right panel 402 and theleft panel 404 of theliner 204 may be a breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. Theright panel 402 and theleft panel 404 may also be a high-density gauze mesh material that is stretchable and highly elastic to provide a strong seal around the genital region that secures the genital region inside thepocket 202. For example, theright panel 402 and theleft panel 404 may be a combination nylon and lycra and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, theright panel 402 and theleft panel 404 comprises at least 90% nylon and up to 10% lycra. For example, theright panel 402 and theleft panel 404 may comprise between 90%-95% nylon and between 5%-10% lycra. In one embodiment, theright panel 402 and theleft panel 404 comprises 92% nylon and 8% lycra. -
FIGS. 8-9 illustrate additional details of thepocket 202.FIG. 8 shows a side view of thepocket 202 andFIG. 9 shows a detailed view of thepocket 202. Thepocket 202 may have an irregular shape that includes arectangular section 502 at the top portion of thepocket 202 and acurved section 504 at the bottom portion of thepocket 202. Therectangular section 502 and thecurved section 504 may connect at anangle 506. The shape of thepocket 202 including therectangular section 502, thecurved section 504, and theangle 506 ensures thepocket 202 fits the genital region of the male anatomy. For example, when the wearer puts on the layered garment, therectangular section 502 may be configured to receive the shaft of the penis of the wearer. The rectangular shape of therectangular section 502 may be configured to fit the shape of the shaft and secure and support the shaft of the penis inside therectangular section 502. To provide personalized clothing, the length and or width of therectangular section 502 may also be modified to fit the genital region of a particular wearer. The dimensions (i.e., length and width) of therectangular section 502 may also be based on the dimensions of the shaft of an average and or typical male having the body size (i.e., height and weight) to fit a particular size of the layered garment. For example, the dimensions of therectangular section 502 for a size small version of the layered garment may be based on the dimensions of the shaft of a typical male having a body size that fits the size small version of the layered garment. - The
curved section 504 of thepocket 202 may be configured to receive the scrotum and testicles of the wearer when the wearer puts on the layered garment (i.e., places his genital region insidepocket 202 and seals the genital region inside the garment by wrapping theliner 204 around the genital region). The curved shape of thecurved section 504 may be configured to fit the shape of the scrotum and secure and support the scrotum and testicles inside thecurved section 504. To provide personalized clothing, the diameter, circumference, and or angle of curvature of thecurved section 504 may be modified to fit the genital region of a particular wearer. The dimensions (i.e., diameter, circumference, and or angle of curvature) of thecurved section 504 may also be based on the dimensions of the scrotum and or testicles of an average and or typical male having the body size (i.e., height and weight) to fit a particular size of the layered garment. For example, the dimensions of thecurved section 502 for a size small version of the layered garment may be based on the dimensions of the scrotum and or testicles of a typical male having a body size that fits the size small version of the layered garment. - The
angle 506 that connects therectangular section 502 and thecurved section 504 may be configured to match the angle between the shaft of the penis and scrotum and or testicles of a wearer of the layered garment. To provide personalized clothing, the number of degrees relative to aperpendicular axis 508 of theangle 506 may be modified to fit the genital region of a particular wearer. The dimensions (i.e., the number of degrees relative to a perpendicular axis 508) of theangle 506 may also be based on the dimensions of the angle between the penis shaft and the scrotum and or testicles of an average and or typical male having the body size (i.e., height and weight) to fit a particular size of the layered garment. For example, the dimensions of theangle 506 for a size small version of the layered garment may be based on the dimensions of the angle between the penis shaft and the scrotum and or testicles of a typical male having a body size that fits the size small version of the layered garment. - The
curved portion 504 may also have adart 406 that increases the depth of the pocket. As shown inFIG. 9 , thedart 406 may be a stitched seam or other structure sewn or otherwise attached to a middle section of the bottom surface of thecurved portion 504. For example, thedart 406 may bisect the bottom surface of thecurved portion 504 to divide the curved portion into twoareas 602. In some embodiments, thedart 406 bisects the bottom surface of thecurved portion 504 at the middle of thecurved portion 504 so that the size of each of the twoareas 602 on either side of thedart 406 is the same. Thedart 406 may also bisect the bottom surface of the curved portion closer to one side of thecurved portion 504 so that one of the twoareas 602 is larger than the other. Thedart 406 may have a length between 0.5 inches (in) and 3 in to create at least between 0.5 in and 3 in of depth inside thepocket 202. For example, in one embodiment, thedart 406 has a length of 2 in and creates at least 2 in of depth inside thepocket 202. Thedart 406 provides a structure to thepocket 202 that ensures the depth of thepocket 202 is equivalent to at least the length of thedart 406. Thedart 406 thereby creates an additional space in thepocket 202 to ensure thepocket 202 is large enough to receive and contain the entire genital region of the wearer. - The
pocket 202 may be configured to dynamically adapt to the shape of the body of the wearer as the wearer moves. To enhance comfort, thepocket 202 may also be configured to wick moisture away from the genital region of the wearer. The material of thepocket 202 may have a distinctively soft feel that prevents chafing, rubbing, or other discomfort during sustained contact between thepocket 202 and the genital region and other sensitive areas of the body of the wearer. Thepocket 202 may be a breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. For example, thepocket 202 may be a combination of polyester and lycra and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, theinner layer 104 comprises at least 70% polyester and up to 30% lycra. For example, theinner layer 104 may comprise between 75%-79% polyester and between 21%-25% lycra. In one embodiment, theinner layer 104 comprises 79% polyester and 21% lycra. -
