Garment for Upper Breast Padding

Abstract

Upper breast padding in a breast support garment, such as a bra, to fill hollow areas that may form in the upper breast area of a person when the person wears the breast support garment is disclosed. A pad for padding an upper breast area may include at least a portion that may have a thickness that gradually increases from the edges of the portion toward the center of the portion. The portion of the pad having the gradually increasing thickness may be disposed on and conformable to the person's upper breast area. The pad may be part of a breast support garment. Or the pad may be removable.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This relates to breast padding and, more particularly, to padding in a breast support garment, such as a bra, for a person's upper breast area to fill hollow areas that may form in the upper breast area when the person wears the breast support garment.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Good muscle tone in the breast area can produce a smooth shapely look. However, muscle tone can be diminished or lost through a variety of circumstances, such as weight loss, breastfeeding, disease, injury, and aging. These can cause the breasts to sag and, when in bra, hollows to form in the upper breast area, thereby resulting in a less smooth, less natural breast shape.[0003]Push-up bras have traditionally been used to enhance cleavage. Such bras do not counter the muscle tone problem because they only work on the bottom of the breasts to push the breasts up, not at the top of the breasts where the hollows form. In some cases, the push-up action may actually make the hollo...

However, muscle tone can be diminished or lost through a variety of circumstances, such as weight loss, breastfeeding, disease, injury, and aging.

These can cause the breasts to sag and, when in bra, hollows to form in the upper breast area, thereby resulting in a less smooth, less natural breast shape.

Such bras do not counter the muscle tone problem because they only work on the bottom of the breasts to push the breasts up, not at the top of the breasts where the hollows form.

Such bras do not counter the muscle tone problem because they only work primarily on the front of the breasts, not at the top of the breasts where the hollows form.
