Abstract
Description
Technical Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a garment that, shaped as a thong-type slip, has an internal pocket intended to support the genitals of "trans" or transgender people, specifically those who "transition" (according to a widely accepted term nowadays) from male to female, while also shaping their body to give the appearance of a feminine figure. The field of application of the invention is, therefore, the technical sector of the textile industry and, more specifically, that of clothing manufacturing, particularly intimate apparel.Background of the Invention
[0002] The segment of transgender people is a population whose needs have not been fully addressed, causing them to resort to uncomfortable, painful, and in some cases harmful practices in their daily lives in order to feel comfortable with their bodies. Due to the costs and high risks involved in penectomy, orchiectomy and / or vaginoplasty or similar surgeries, these people have devised mechanisms to hide their member, which are still uncomfortable and complicate the most everyday activities. There are garments that aim to facilitate their lives, but these are uncomfortable or do not provide the necessary support and adjustment that, according to their anthropometry, allows them to maintain a feminine figure.
[0003] The objective of the present invention is, therefore, to provide the market with a garment specially designed to reduce time and facilitate the transformation process that transgender people must live through daily, thus providing a solution that offers comfort and the proper care that their body needs.Explanation of the Invention
[0004] To this end, the object of the present invention is an intimate garment, specifically a thong-type slip garment with a structural configuration that offers support for the genitals of transgender people and holds them in such a way that it shapes their body giving the desired appearance of a feminine figure, so that these people do not have to resort to the painful and uncomfortable activities they are accustomed to in their daily lives.
[0005] More specifically, the garment object of the invention is a thong-type slip, specially designed for transgender people, which is distinguished by the fact that it has an internal pocket that holds the male genitalia and keeps it attached to the body, thus avoiding the use of any external adhesive or tape that could damage the skin, prevents it from being noticed and maintains the proper position that these people need, providing comfort with any type of external garment.
[0006] Preferably, the garment has two elastic fabrics that cover or line the front part of the garment, which prevent the member from being marked, since, due to their density and composition, the first of organic latex and the second of organic suplex, these secure it and allow adequate skin transpiration.
[0007] Preferably, the garment also has a clasp on the back of the waist adjustable in several positions, preferably three, which facilitates the process of putting on the garment and provides the possibility of adjusting the support and holding of the member to avoid movements, also ensuring the proper position of this area of the garment.
[0008] The garment is a thong-type slip, that is, it covers the genital area in the front and leaves the buttocks exposed in the back, which advantageously allows its use with different garments, such as girdles, sportswear, shorts, among others, facilitating its application in any daily activity.
[0009] In addition, in one embodiment, the thong-type slip that makes up the garment of the invention is directly sewn inside another garment, for example, shorts, so that they form a solid unit.Brief Description of the Drawings
