first embodiment
[0054]Referring now to FIG. 1, a swimsuit 10 is shown. The hip and thigh portion 14 of the swimsuit 10 may have left and right tubular members 24a, b which fit around the left and right thighs of the swimmer. Additionally, the hip and thigh portion 14 may also have an upper tubular member 26 sized to fit around the hips of the swimmer. The left and right tubular members 24a, b are attached to a lower end of the upper tubular member 26 such that the tubular members 24a, b and 26 may be worn by the swimmers in a similar manner compared to a pair of shorts. The left and right tubular members 24a, b may be sized to fit snuggly about the thighs of the swimmer as well as the upper tubular member 26 may be sized to fit snuggly around the hips of the swimmer.
[0055]Preferably, the hip and thigh portion 14 may be fabricated from an elastic material and sized such that the hip and thigh portion 14 slightly expands when worn by the swimmer such that the hip and thigh portion 14 may conform to t...
second embodiment
[0065]Referring now to FIGS. 7-9, the swimsuit 10 known as a Male Jammers is shown. The swimsuit 10 may comprise only the hip and thigh portion 14 and may have left and right thigh compression panels 28a, b and / or left and right buttock compression panels 38a, b attached to the hip and thigh portion 14. The figures presented herein may only show the left thigh compression panel 28a by hatching for the purposes of clarity. Likewise, the figures may only show the left buttock compression panel 38a for the purpose of clarity.
[0066]The left thigh compression panel 28a (shown by hatching over fit panels 54c, d) may extend from a left lateral hip area 32a (see FIG. 9) across a left thigh area 34a (see FIG. 7) and terminate at a left lower medial thigh area 36a (see FIG. 7). More generally, the left thigh compression panel 28a may extend diagonally across and compress any one or combination of the following thigh muscles, including but not limited to, rectus femoris muscle, vastos intermed...
fourth embodiment
[0072]Referring now to FIGS. 13-15 the swimsuit 10 known as a male zip short is shown. The swimsuit shown in FIGS. 13-15 may have a plurality of fit panels 54a-f, g-l, and m-s. The fit panels 54a-s may be attached (sewn, stitched, adhered, etc.) to each other at seam lines 56a-r. The swimsuit 10 may additionally have left and right arm apertures 46a, b defined by left and right inner peripheries 60a, b as well as a neck aperture 62 defined by an inner periphery 64.
[0073]The swimsuit 10 may have a left thigh compression panel 28a which may coincide with fit panel 54b, 54c or fit panels 54b and c. In the event that the left thigh compression panel 28a coincides with fit panels 54b and 54c, the left thigh compression panel 28a will extend from bottom end 27a to a left back area of the swimmer, as shown in FIG. 14. Moreover, the left thigh compression panel 28a will contact the left buttock compression panel 38a at intersection point 70a (see FIG. 14). In contrast, as shown in FIGS. 1-6...
