Benefits of technology

[0016]According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, a method of supporting the upper positioned breast of a side laying human to reduce and prevent skin wrinkling in the chest region is disclosed. The method includes providing a device including a hollow, elongate member comprising a central body joining opposing rounded ends to form a continuous outer surface of the elongate member and a material fixed to the outer surface of the elongate member to provide a non-slip interface with the human's skin. The method also includes maintaining the device in position without the need for a support strap encircling the human's chest.

Problems solved by technology

Many people find wrinkles in the skin of the cleavage area unsightly or unattractive, and thus, undesirable.
Such a combination and others can be restrictive and uncomfortable to wear.
In addition, many of the prior art devices are relatively complex and expensive to manufacture, and troublesome to don.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIGS. 1-3 show a device 10 for placement between a human's breasts for reducing and preventing skin wrinkling in the chest region of a user. The device 10 includes a hollow, elongate member 18 having a central body 22 joining opposing ends 30 and 32 that may be rounded. The elongate member 18 has a continuous outer surface 26 and a material 36 may be fixed to the surface 26 to provide a non-slip interface with the user's skin. One material 36 that is particularly useful for adhesion to the surface 26 to provide the non-slip interface is 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures, produced by 3M, the corporate office of which is located at 3M Corporate Headquarters, 3M Center, St. Paul, Minn. 55144-1000. The material 36 may also include a tacky or non-tacky silicon composition, vinyl, latex, or jelly rubber, or combinations thereof. In the embodiment of the device 10 shown in FIGS. 1-3, the material 36 covers substantially the entire member 18, although it may not be necessary to ...

Abstract

A device for placement between a human's breasts for reducing and preventing skin wrinkling in the chest region of a user and a method of supporting the upper positioned breast of a side laying human to reduce and prevent skin wrinkling in the chest region.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD AND BACKGROUND[0001]The present disclosure relates to the fields of medical and personal care, and more particularly, to a device for preventing or reducing the formation of skin wrinkles in the cleavage area of a human caused by gravitational lateral breast shifting while the human is in a side laying position.[0002]Many people find wrinkles in the skin of the cleavage area unsightly or unattractive, and thus, undesirable. Such wrinkles can be caused by the gravitational forces that shift an unsupported upper breast laterally while one is in the side laying position, such as during sleeping, particularly with large breasted people. As such, devices for placement between the breasts to maintain the upper breast in the area in front of the chest are known, but, in many cases, these devices must be used with a brassiere or garment similar to a brassiere, or at least a strap encircling the user's chest, to maintain the device in position between the breasts.
