Benefits of technology

The patent is for a better bra for women that absorbs perspiration to prevent chafing and sores. The technical effect is to enhance the comfort and performance of the bra.

Problems solved by technology

Many women have a tendency to perspire around their bra line, especially when under stress, at work, or when performing physical activity.
Excessive unwanted perspiration can result in embarrassing odors, sweat stains, or eventually discoloration of the surrounding clothes.
Excessive perspiration can also lead to the need to constantly wash the affected bras, which increases the amount of wear and tear on those bras and thus requires that they be replaced more often.
It can be expensive to have to constantly replace worn down bras, especially for women with a unique bra size who must specially order bras to fit their specific measurements.
While various pads and the like have been developed to respond to various other perspiration or moisture problems (e.g., underarm shields, sanitary napkins, etc.) none have been developed with enough flexibility to address the needs of numerous varieties of women suffering from breast perspiration.
It is acknowledged that other devices have been developed for wear under the breast, but they are purposefully relatively thick and bulky and either intended for cosmetic, uplift purposes.
Other pads have been developed to absorb perspiration; however, they are either bulky, address mainly the area between the breasts, or address the entire under area of the breast from underarm to cleavage.
Such pads are too bulky and obvious as to not provide discretion of wearing by the user.
