Description

This utility model relates to the field of underwear and apparel technology, specifically to a bra cup. Background Art: Bras, shapewear, bodysuits, and other garments with cups protect the breasts while providing support and lift, and also enhance the appearance of the breasts, showcasing the unique curves of a woman. Most bras are made of a single type of foam sponge or polyester fiber cotton, or a combination of both. Single foam sponge cups have poor breathability, and prolonged wear can compress the breasts and affect blood circulation. However, single polyester fiber cotton cups have good breathability, are more form-fitting, and more comfortable, but their shaping properties are poor, making them prone to deformation and affecting the wearing effect. To address the above problems, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN204861214U discloses a bra cup with a slow elastic recovery function. A hot melt adhesive layer for bonding is provided between the outer and inner cotton layers, where the inner cotton layer is memory foam. An inner shaping layer is provided between the outer and inner cotton layers, and a hot melt adhesive layer for bonding is provided between the outer cotton layer, the inner cotton layer, and the inner shaping layer. Existing bra cups mainly have the following problems: (1) Although bra cups have a certain effect on promoting blood circulation, their main function is to reduce pressure on the breasts and cannot achieve a good circulation-promoting effect; (2) Bra cups have poor support, and prolonged wear can easily cause breast sagging; (3) Bra cups have poor breathability and are uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve this problem. 20 Utility Model Content In view of this, this utility model aims to propose a bra cup. To address the problems of existing bra cups, which, while promoting blood circulation to some extent, primarily reduce pressure on the breasts and do not effectively promote circulation; poor support leading to breast sagging after prolonged wear; and poor breathability causing discomfort, this invention provides the following solution: A bra cup includes a cup body and a back band. A massage element is connected to the bottom of the cup body and the back band at their connection. The massage element includes a support layer with massage protrusions. This support layer effectively supports the breasts, preventing sagging. By providing massage protrusions on the support layer, the bra cup continuously massages and stimulates the breasts during activity, promoting blood circulation. Furthermore, the massage element also includes a skin-friendly layer connected to the support layer, with the massage protrusions located between the skin-friendly layer and the support layer. This design effectively prevents the massage bumps from directly contacting and rubbing against the skin, improving wearing comfort and providing support and massage to the chest, thus promoting blood circulation.Further, the thickness of the skin-friendly layer is less than the thickness of the support layer. 10 This design ensures both the comfort of wearing the bra cup and the massage effect of the massage bumps. Further, a second ventilation hole is provided on the support layer, and the second ventilation hole is located on the support layer. This design can improve the breathability of the bra cup and improve the comfort of the wearer. Further, the massage bumps are located at the gaps of the second ventilation holes. 15 This design allows the wearer to enjoy both the comfort of massage and breathability when wearing the bra cup. Further, a first ventilation hole is provided on the cup body, and the first ventilation hole is close to the bottom of the cup body and the connection between the underband and the cup body. In this design, the first ventilation hole improves the breathability of the bra cup and enhances the user experience. 20 Further, the cup body includes interconnected ventilation areas and massage areas, and the first ventilation hole is located in the ventilation area. Further, there are multiple first ventilation holes and multiple second ventilation holes. Furthermore, the underwire portion of the cup body is provided with an elastic support.
