Description

For female orthopedic underwear

Inflatable air cushion

Field of the invention: The present invention relates to an orthopedic underwear, and more particularly, to an inflatable air cushion for a partially inflated orthopedic underwear for a female wearer to correct the outline appearance of a local body shape. Background technique:

The so-called underwear usually refers to clothing worn on a close-fitting part. As far as women are concerned, it refers to bras and leggings worn by women.

Traditional bras and panties worn by women with orthopedic effects on local body shapes have a variety of design forms. In terms of design: As far as bras are concerned, they include a bra main body, a fastening portion and a sling. There are cup portions on the left and right sides of the main part of the brassiere for the wearer's breasts. Traditionally, the cup portion has a cushion made of fabric or foam material so that the wearer can display the raised breasts. On the other hand, among leggings, especially for orthopedic pants that orthopedic to the wearer's body shape, the structure of such orthopedic pants traditionally includes the same as ordinary leggings: trousers, trousers, crotch and Trouser legs. However, most of the materials used in the manufacture of these trousers are fabrics with strong shrinkage properties.

Therefore, those underwears that are used to orthopedize the body shape of the wearer have, to a large extent, been designed with some local orthopedics on the contours and appearance of the local body shape of the wearer. This consideration is mainly reflected in the following Describe two aspects:

υ Orthopedics of the chest: In one aspect, the focus is on making the wearer's chest look upright. The designer uses a curved, thicker metal wire to place it on the bottom of the bra body in order to support the wearer's breasts and avoid sagging On the other hand, in order to make up for the wearer's small breasts due to incomplete development, the designer uses cushion material to make cup pads, so that the wearer has a large breast Outline appearance.

-1-Confirmation 2) Orthopedics of the abdomen and buttocks: In view of women's older age or after childbirth, the loosened abdominal muscles or excess hip fat are likely to show a state of abdominal bulging or peculiarly large hips, which affects the shape and appearance of the contours of the body. Designers often use orthopedic materials to manufacture orthopedic pants in order to achieve the effect of correcting the contours of the wearer's body contours, so that after wearing the orthopedic pants, the appearance of the contours of the body contours appears more even and beautiful.

Although traditional underwear has been able to achieve a certain good effect on the above two aspects of orthopedic design, it also has defects to varying degrees. For example, the thicker metal wires used to support the breasts, which are placed on the bottom of the brassiere body, often make the wearer feel uncomfortable when wearing the brassiere, or when washing in a washing machine, the metal wires may deform and be re-weared. Sometimes the wearer feels uncomfortable, and the skin of the wearer is more likely to be caused by the metal wire piercing the bra surface. In addition, in order to show the beautiful outline of the breasts of underdeveloped women, designers often install pads made of pads on the place where the breasts are placed on the bra. The pads are mostly made of fiber fabric or foam. to make. Therefore, a bra made of one size can only be applied to a wearer of one size, and if the size of the wearer's body is to be changed at random, bras of different sizes need to be provided. In addition, in the hot season, wearing a bra with a cushion made of that material will make the wearer feel uncomfortable, and after washing, you need to carefully dry it, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria on the cushion. Poisoning can cause skin infections to the wearer. For another example, orthopedic pants made of a material with tightening properties, although it can tighten the bulging abdomen and hips so that the wearer can show its beautiful body shape, but for women who are thin, especially the hips grow long For women with left and right asymmetry, if they want to orthopedify them to have a graceful body contour appearance, the above-mentioned tight pants are powerless.
