[0001] The invention relates to a protective pad integrated / integrable into riding underwear for female riders, which serves to prevent friction, pressure and mechanically caused chafing in the intimate area. State of the art
[0002] Female riders often suffer from discomfort in the genital area, especially during long rides or when riding multiple horses. Existing solutions such as special underwear or textile-based padding often offer insufficient protection against pressure points or unpleasant chafing, are not dimensionally stable, and are not breathable. Therefore, there is a need for a functional, skin-friendly, and hygienic padding system. Disclosure of the invention
[0003] The invention relates to a flat, anatomically shaped insert pad made of elastic silicone, which is sewn completely into underwear or inserted into an integrated pocket. The pad protects the female intimate area from friction, pressure, and chafing while riding – without direct skin contact. The design includes several ventilation openings, is skin-friendly, machine-washable, and reusable. Advantages of the invention • No direct skin contact - hygienic and comfortable • Protection against pressure, friction and chafing while riding • Dimensionally stable compared to textile or foam-based alternatives • Ventilation through strategically placed openings • Anatomically adapted shape • Washable, durable, environmentally friendly
