AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a cushion that is added to a bra to provide comfort and support. The cushion is made of a material that absorbs sweat and is anti-allergic. It is designed to fit behind the breast and is typically sterile, disposable, or washable. The technical effect of the cushion is to offer a comfortable and safe layer for breast support and comfort during wear.

Problems solved by technology

If the sweat remains on the skin for a long time, it may cause rashes.
Excessive unwanted perspiration results in embarrassing odors, sweat stains, or eventually discoloration of the surrounding clothes.
The user may sometimes need to wash the affected areas of the bra, which increases the amount of wear and tear on the bra thereby decreasing the life of the bra.
It becomes expensive to have to constantly replace worn down bras, especially for women with a unique bra size who must specially order bra to fit the specific measurements.
While various solutions have been proposed to tackle the problem, none has been successfully implemented to address the needs 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 intended for cosmetic, uplift purposes.
Some 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.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO THE RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part application of a U.S. patent application with application Ser. No. 14 / 790,011, filed on Jul. 2, 2015.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]The embodiment herein generally relates to supporting cushions and more particularly to sweat-absorbent supporting cushions.Description of the Related Art[0003]Every human being perspires when the ambient temperature rises above body temperature. Perspiration removes unwanted salts along with sweat from the body. If the sweat remains on the skin for a long time, it may cause rashes. Women, generally, have a tendency to perspire around their bra line, especially when under stress, at work, or when performing physical activity. Excessive unwanted perspiration results in embarrassing odors, sweat stains, or eventually discoloration of the surrounding clothes. The user may sometimes need to wash the affected areas of the bra, which increases the amount of wear and tea...
