Description
- This invention relates to relates to brassieres. More particularly, the present invention relates to a brassiere with a memory foam support system for large breasted women.
- There are numerous brassieres that make small busted women look and feel bigger by adding padding and inserts, which push the breast up and create cleavage. Alternatively, there are brassieres that minimize the bust of large breasted women to make them appear smaller. A minimizer bra pushes the breasts into the body and under the arms creating absolutely no cleavage for the wearer.
- The use of underwire elements for shaping and supporting the lower periphery of brassiere or bra cups has long been known in the art. The drawbacks associated with conventional underwire frames are that they can wear through the material of a brassiere over time and cause damage to the clothing of the wearer, they must be individually shaped to comfortably correspond to the extent of the wearer's bust, they are relatively stiff, they may cause discomfort, and a lack of adaptability to the needs of various users.
- For large breasted women wearing a conventional bra is often uncomfortable. A tight strap is put around the rib cage and fastened under the breasts. Straps are attached and then placed over the shoulders. Gravity pulls the breasts down and the straps pull the bra up. The straps dig into the shoulders of the wearer from the heavy weight of the breasts. This causes constant readjustment of the garment. The weight of large breasts may be unbalancing and may cause neck and back pain and headaches.
- In light of the foregoing, there is a need for a brassiere for women with large breasts that is comfortable to wear, resilient, and adequately supports the breasts of the wearer.
- It is a goal of the present invention to provide a brassiere that overcomes the above noted drawbacks.
- It is another goal of the present invention to provide a brassiere with a cushioned support platform that provides improved comfort, support, and feminine allure.
- It is still another goal of the present invention to provide a brassiere with a cushioned support platform that avoids having a thick appearance and/or a stiff, rigid feel.
- It is yet another goal of the present invention to provide a cushioned support platform that may be used in a number of different sized brassieres.
- It is a further goal of the present invention to provide a cushioned support platform that may be conveniently assembled in the brassiere.
- These and other advantages of the present invention are achieved by inserting shaped memory foam into the bottom of the cups of the brassiere. Memory foam is polyurethane with additional chemicals that increase its viscosity and density. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. In some formulations, it is firmer when cooler. Higher density memory foam reacts to body heat, allowing it to mould to a warm human body in a few minutes. A lower density memory foam is pressure-sensitive and moulds quickly to the shape of the body.
- The memory foam is covered in a fabric that wicks moisture away from the body. The fabric may be made of synthetics, such as polyester, polypropylene, natural fabrics, such as wool and silk, or they may be blends of natural and synthetic fabric.
- The memory foam provides a platform that supports and holds the breasts in a natural position which relieves stress on the straps and pain from the shoulders and back of the wearer. The memory foam conforms to the shape of the wearer's breast as the weight of the breasts compresses the foam. The straps of the brassiere rest on the shoulders and stay there. The brassiere is made from fabric that stretches in only one direction. Representative fabrics include, but are not limited to, spandex and elastane. This allows for controlled movement in the desired direction.
- The brassiere is made with as few as three pieces of fabric, a front closure device and two pieces of shaped memory foam. The fabric does not need hemming on the edges which makes for a smoother silhouette across the back and shoulders of the wearer. The upper cup of the bra will be made of foam ply. The cups of the brassiere hold the foam in place under the breasts of the wearer.
- The wearer slips their arms into the bra and closes it at the front of the bust using the front closure device. Each breast is lifted, one at a time, and placed into one of the cups and onto the covered shaped memory foam such that the foam is positioned under the breast. The memory foam acts as a shelf or platform upon which the breast rests. The memory foam does not add any bulk to the shape of the cup. Gravity and the weight of the breasts compress the memory foam and hold them comfortably in an uplifted, natural position. The memory foam platform or shelf bears the weight which in the past has been borne by the shoulders.
