Breast support device

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.

Benefits of technology

[0004]Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide a simple device for preventing or reducing the formation of skin wrinkles in the cleavage area of a user.

[0006]It is another object of the invention to provide a method of supporting the upper positioned breast of a side laying human to reduce and prevent skin wrinkling in the chest region.

[0007]These and other objects of the present invention are achieved in the preferred embodiments disclosed below by providing a device for placement between a human's breasts for reducing and preventing skin wrinkling in the chest region of a user. The device includes a hollow, elongate member having 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 user's skin.

[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.
