Benefits of technology

The invention is a compression garment that can be worn to improve blood flow and support the circulatory system. This garment can be worn alone or with an outer garment. It can be attached at the topmost part of the outer garment or at the bottom. The compression component can move or not move independently of the outer garment. This invention provides compression support for the wearer to help improve their health and well-being.

Problems solved by technology

Although regular exercise can strengthen the abdominal muscles, many new mothers find themselves without the time or energy to resume their pre-childbirth workout schedule.
Unfortunately, the combination of garments does not always guarantee an improved appearance for the wearer, and can be very uncomfortable.
The elastic bands in control undergarments are tight on the skin and, in many cases, leave indentations in the skin and may cause a loss of circulation in the user's body.
Moreover, unsightly bulges and rolls of skin may appear where the elastic bands of controlling undergarment end on the wearer's body and thus the slimming effect is not achieved.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 547,409, filed Oct. 14, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The physiological processes of pregnancy and childbirth weaken the abdominal muscles of women. To make room for a growing baby, the long muscles that run from under the woman's chest to her pubic bone spread to allow the stomach to grow. Other muscles, including side abdominal muscles and deep transverse abdominal muscles also are stretched during pregnancy.[0003]In the United States, the rate of birth by Cesarean section is increasing. In 2008, the Centers for Disease Control reported that 32.3% of all births in the United States were cesarean. This number of births by cesarean section is due to many factors, including the increase in the rate of multiple births, as advances in reproductive medicine have allowed women to gestate and give birth to multi...
