AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0004]In an embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned problem of visual privacy is addressed by providing a garment having a crotch portion extending upwardly at the front of the garment to provide a panel of material which, when the garment is worn, overlies the vaginal area of the wearer. The garment may be constructed with a first inner layer at the area of concern of thin, flexible semi-rigid material that presents a smooth outer surface, and a second layer of absorbent material overlying the inner surface of the first layer and secured to the crotch portion of the garment, thereby providing the wearer with a comfortable garment that presents a smooth appearance over the vaginal area.

[0005]In another aspect of the invention, the first layer, though flexible, has minimal memory and thus assures that a smooth appearance may be maintained.

[0006]Another aspect of the present invention may be to provide the first layer with perforations therein to allow air flow and reduce moisture to thereby maintain the normal shape and fit of the garment.

[0007]Yet another aspect of the present invention may be to provide a first layer that may be composed of a thin neoprene material having a pattern of small holes therethrough that present perforations to allow air flow and reduce moisture in the crotch area. The second layer may comprise a microfilic fiber material overlying the inner surface of the first layer to absorb moisture and provide the wearer with a comfortable garment that presents a smooth surface over the vaginal area.

Problems solved by technology

In the normal course of wear, the clothing may creep up and tighten about the crotch area.

A problem is presented, however, in the design of tight fitting clothing, which may be worn in various environments such as a workout at a gymnasium or evening wear that compliments and emphasizes the female figure.

Garments that are too tight or which creep up may present a cameltoe appearance, particularly if the garment has a central seam that tightly overlies the labia majora.

Although a fashionable appearance is desired, the cameltoe effect is not desired as part of a high fashion appearance.
