[0010] Next, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. [1] First embodiment FIG. 1 is a rear view of the shaping shorts of the first embodiment. The shaping shorts 10 have a symmetrical shape, and are entirely made of a material with moderate stretchability (such as raschel, power net, tricot, or the like, which does not fray at the edges).

[0011] Therefore, the shaping shorts 10 as a whole are configured to fit snugly and closely to the wearer's body.

[0012] The shapewear shorts 10 include a buttocks covering portion 11, an opening 12, an upper support portion 13, a crotch covering portion 14, a lower support portion 15, a tubular portion 16, and an abdominal covering portion 21. The buttocks covering portion 11 covers the buttocks and includes a right buttocks covering portion 11R that covers the right buttocks of the wearer us, and a left buttocks covering portion 11L that covers the left buttocks of the wearer us.

[0013] The right buttock covering-part 11R is formed integrally with the right abdominal covering-part 21R which constitutes the abdominal covering-part 21. Similarly, the left buttock covering-part 11L is formed integrally with the left abdominal covering-part 21L which constitutes the abdominal covering-part 21.

[0014] The right buttock covering portion 11R and the left buttock covering portion 11L are sewn together, the right abdominal covering portion 21R and the left abdominal covering portion 21L are sewn together, and further, the crotch covering portion 14 is sewn together with the right buttock covering portion 11R, the left buttock covering portion 11L, the right abdominal covering portion 21R, and the left abdominal covering portion 21L, respectively, to form the main body of the corrective shorts 10.

[0015] A pair of openings 12 are provided on the left and right sides in the central portions of the right buttock covering portion 11R and the left buttock covering portion 11L, respectively, so that when not worn, the abdomen covering portion 21 can be seen. In this case, the openings 12 include a right opening 12R formed in a position facing the gluteus maximus muscle of the right buttock of the wearer us, and a left opening 12L formed in a position facing the gluteus maximus muscle of the left buttock of the wearer us.

[0016] Right opening 12R and left opening 12L are circular or elliptical, and fray stoppers 12S are formed around the periphery of each opening with a certain width so as not to impede stretchability.

[0017] The upper support part 13 is stretchable and has appropriate elasticity to fit closely to the abdomen of the wearer us. Here, the upper support part 13 includes a right upper support part 13R formed integrally with the right buttock covering part 11R and the right abdominal part 21R, and a left upper support part 13L formed integrally with the left buttock covering part 11L and the left abdominal part 21L.

[0018] The crotch covering portion 14 has a boat-like shape in a plan view, and is adapted to cover the crotch of the wearer us. The lower support part 15 is stretchable and has appropriate elasticity to fit closely to the legs of the wearer, similar to the upper support part 13. In this case, the lower support part 15 is formed in an annular (cylindrical) shape and includes a right lower support part 15R that fits closely to the right leg of the wearer us, and a left lower support part 15L that is also formed in an annular (cylindrical) shape and fits closely to the left leg of the wearer us.

[0019] Further, below the right buttock covering portion 11R and the right abdomen covering portion 21R, a right cylindrical portion 16R having a cylindrical shape is formed by three-dimensional molding. Similarly, a left cylindrical portion 16L having a cylindrical shape is formed by three-dimensional molding below the left buttock covering portion 11L and the left abdomen covering portion 21L.

[0020] FIG. 2 is a front view of the corrective shorts of the first embodiment. In FIG. 2, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. A fit section 22 is provided in the center of the front side of the corrective shorts 10, which is made of a material that is more stretchable and adheres better than the buttocks covering section 11, the crotch covering section 14 or the abdominal covering section 21, thereby improving the fit of the corrective shorts 10 to the wearer.

[0021] Here, the fitting portion 22 is provided with a right fitting portion 22R and a left fitting portion 22L. The right fitting portion 22R and the left fitting portion 22L are sewn together and function as a single piece to form the fitting portion 22, ensuring the close contact of the shapewear shorts 10 with the abdomen and buttocks.

[0022] Furthermore, the buttocks covering portion 11 is securely attached to the buttocks of the wearer us, allowing the buttocks of the wearer to protrude reliably from the right opening 12R or the left opening 12L, thereby achieving a hip-up effect.

[0023] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the components of the shaping shorts before the left and right sides are sewn together. As mentioned above, the shapewear shorts 10 are bilaterally symmetrical, so only the right-side member 10R is shown in FIG.

[0024] The right side member 10R includes a right buttock covering portion 11R, a right opening 12R, a right upper support portion 13R, a right lower support portion 15R, a right tubular portion 16R, a right abdominal covering portion 21R, and a right fitting portion 22R.

[0025] Furthermore, a crotch covering portion sewing notch 25 for sewing the crotch covering portion 14 is provided at the seam between the right side member 10R and the left side member 10L.

[0026] In the above configuration, the right tubular portion 16R is formed into a tubular shape without being sewn by three-dimensional stitching. Furthermore, the seam SL between the right-side member 10R and the left-side member 10L is only along a line that runs from the front of the wearer's abdomen via the front of the gluteal cleft of the wearer's buttocks to the waist, so the line of the corrective shorts is minimized as much as possible on the side of the wearer's body.

[0027] FIG. 4 is an explanatory rear view of the corrective shorts when worn. When the wearer us wears the corrective shorts 10, as shown in Figure 4, portions corresponding to parts of the gluteus maximus GM of the wearer us's buttocks BU will protrude from the right opening 12R and the left opening 12L.

[0028] The elasticity of the corrective shorts 10 allows them to fit snugly against the wearer's buttocks, causing the area corresponding to part of the gluteus maximus GM of the wearer's buttocks BU to protrude from the right opening 12R and the left opening 12L by pressing against the surrounding area, and lifting that area from below upward.

[0029] FIG. 5 is an explanatory perspective view of the corrective shorts when worn. When a portion of the buttocks BU of the wearer us corresponding to a part of the gluteus maximus GM protrudes from the right opening 12R and the left opening 12L, the upper support part 13, the lower support part 15 and the fit part 22 work together to push up the buttocks BU of the wearer us from below.

[0030] In addition, the appropriate adhesive force acts to cause the portion of the buttocks BU that faces the gluteus maximus muscle to protrude upward and backward.

[0031] As a result, a hip-lifting effect can be easily achieved. Furthermore, the most protruding part is not the corrective shorts 10 but the buttocks of the wearer us, so the lines of the corrective shorts do not stand out, and a rounded, natural hip line can be formed.

[0032] That is, the shape-shaping shorts 10 of this embodiment can be worn naturally to suit various body types without excessively constricting the body of the wearer us, and can beautifully shape the body, especially the hip line. Therefore, the fit of the wearer us is not impaired.

[0033] [2] Second embodiment FIG. 6 is a rear view of the shaping shorts of the second embodiment. The shaping shorts 10A of the second embodiment differ from the shaping shorts of the first embodiment in that highly elastic members 31 made of a material with higher elasticity and adhesion than the buttocks-covering portion 11 are sewn or attached to the buttocks side around the right opening 12R and left opening 12L that make up the opening 12. The highly elastic members 31 allow the buttocks-covering portion 11 around the opening 12 to fit more closely to the buttocks of the wearer us, improving the fit.

[0034] Furthermore, as a result of the corrective shorts 10A fitting more closely to the buttocks of the wearer us, the portions of the buttocks BU that face the gluteus maximus can be protruded upward and backward from the right opening 12R and left opening 12L that make up the opening 12, thereby achieving an even more hip-lifting effect.

[0035] This will be explained in detail below. The shaping shorts 10A, like the shaping shorts 10, have a symmetrical shape and are entirely made of a material with moderate stretchability.

[0036] The shapewear shorts 10A include a buttocks-covering portion 11, an opening 12, an upper support portion 13, a crotch-covering portion 14, a lower support portion 15, a tubular portion 16, and an abdominal-covering portion 21. The buttocks covering portion 11 covers the buttocks and includes a right buttocks covering portion 11R that covers the right buttocks of the wearer us, and a left buttocks covering portion 11L that covers the left buttocks of the wearer us.

[0037] The right buttock covering-part 11R is formed integrally with the right abdominal covering-part 21R which constitutes the abdominal covering-part 21. Similarly, the left buttock covering-part 11L is formed integrally with the left abdominal covering-part 21L which constitutes the abdominal covering-part 21.

[0038] The right buttock covering portion 11R and the left buttock covering portion 11L are sewn together, the right abdominal covering portion 21R and the left abdominal covering portion 21L are sewn together, and further, the crotch covering portion 14 is sewn together with the right buttock covering portion 11R, the left buttock covering portion 11L, the right abdominal covering portion 21R, and the left abdominal covering portion 21L, respectively, to form the main body of the corrective shorts 10.

[0039] A pair of openings 12 are provided on the left and right sides in the central portion of the buttocks covering part 11, and when not worn, the abdomen covering part 21 is visible. In this case, the openings 12 include a right opening 12R formed in a position facing the gluteus maximus muscle of the right buttock of the wearer, and a left opening 12L formed in a position facing the gluteus maximus muscle of the left buttock of the wearer us.

[0040] Furthermore, around the right opening 12R and the left opening 12L that constitute the opening 12, highly elastic members 31 made of a material that is more elastic and adheres better than the buttocks covering portion 11 are sewn or attached to the side of the corrective shorts 10A that comes into contact with the buttocks.

[0041] In this case, it is more preferable that the highly elastic member 31 is made of a material that does not have any directional stretching, but from the viewpoint of the hip-up effect, it is preferable that the material has stretchability at least in the vertical direction when worn.

[0042] The highly elastic member 31 allows the buttocks covering parts 11 around the right opening 12R and the left opening 12L to fit more closely to the buttocks of the wearer us. As a result, the buttocks of the wearer us corresponding to the right opening 12R and the left opening 12L can be made to protrude further from the right opening 12R and the left opening 12L, thereby achieving a greater hip-lifting effect. In addition, the improved fit makes it easier to wear for long periods of time.

[0043] The right opening 12R and the left opening 12L are circular or elliptical, and are provided with fray stoppers around their peripheries so as not to impede stretchability.

[0044] The upper support part 13 is stretchable and has appropriate elasticity to fit closely to the abdomen of the wearer us. Here, the upper support part 13 includes a right upper support part 13R formed integrally with the right buttock covering part 11R and the right abdominal part 21R, and a left upper support part 13L formed integrally with the left buttock covering part 11L and the left abdominal part 21L.

[0045] The crotch covering portion 14 has a boat-like shape in a plan view, and is adapted to cover the crotch of the wearer us. The lower support part 15, like the upper support part 13, is stretchable and has appropriate elasticity to fit closely to the legs of the wearer us. In this case, the lower support part 15 is formed in an annular (cylindrical) shape and includes a right lower support part 15R that fits closely to the right leg of the wearer us, and a left lower support part 15L that is also formed in an annular (cylindrical) shape and fits closely to the left leg of the wearer us.

[0046] Further, below the right buttock covering portion 11R and the right abdomen covering portion 21R, a right cylindrical portion 16R having a cylindrical shape is formed by three-dimensional molding. Similarly, a left cylindrical portion 16L having a cylindrical shape is formed by three-dimensional molding below the left buttock covering portion 11L and the left abdomen covering portion 21L.

[0047] As explained above, according to the shape-shaping shorts 10A of the second embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, it is possible to easily obtain an even greater buttock-lifting effect for a long period of time.

[0048] [3] Third embodiment The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that, instead of the opening 12, an upper buttocks support portion 52, a lower buttocks support portion 53, and a lower buttocks fixing portion 56 are provided. FIG. 7 is a rear view of the shaping shorts of the third embodiment. Like the first embodiment, the corrective shorts 50 of the third embodiment have a symmetrical shape and are made entirely of a material with moderate elasticity, so that they fit snugly against the wearer's body.

[0049] The corrective shorts 50 comprise a buttocks covering portion 51, an upper buttocks support portion 52, a lower buttocks support portion 53, a support portion fixing portion 54, an upper support portion 55, a lower buttocks fixing portion 56, a tubular portion 57, and a crotch covering portion 58.

[0050] The buttocks covering portion 51 covers the buttocks and includes a right buttocks covering portion 51R that covers the right buttocks of the wearer, and a left buttocks covering portion 51L that covers the left buttocks of the wearer us.

[0051] The upper end of the right buttock covering part 51R is integrally formed with the right upper support part 55R which constitutes the upper support part 55. Similarly, the upper end of the left buttock covering part 51L is integrally formed with the left upper support part 55L which constitutes the upper support part 55.

[0052] Furthermore, the side and lower end of the right buttock covering part 51R are integrally formed with the right buttock lower fixing part 56R which constitutes the buttock lower fixing part 56. Similarly, the side and lower end of the left buttock covering part 51L are integrally formed with the left buttock lower fixing part 56L which constitutes the buttock lower fixing part 56.

[0053] FIG. 8 is a front view of the corrective shorts of the third embodiment. The right buttock covering portion 51R and the left buttock covering portion 51L are sewn together, the right abdominal portion 61R and the left abdominal portion 61L are sewn together, and further the crotch covering portion 58 is sewn together with the right buttock covering portion 51R, the left buttock covering portion 51L, the right buttock lower fixing portion 56R, the left buttock lower fixing portion 56L, the right abdominal portion 61R, and the left abdominal portion 61L, thereby forming the main body of the shaping shorts 10.

[0054] The upper buttock support portion 52 includes a right upper buttock support portion 52R attached to the right buttock covering portion 51R via a support portion fixing portion 54, and a left upper buttock support portion 52L attached to the left buttock covering portion 51L via a support portion fixing portion 54. The buttock lower support part 53 comprises a right buttock lower support part 53R, the both sides of which are attached to the right buttock covering part 51R via the support part fixing parts 54, and the lower end of which is attached to the right buttock lower fixing part 56R via the support part fixing parts 54, and a left buttock lower support part 53L, the both sides of which are attached to the left buttock covering part 51L via the support part fixing parts 54, and the lower end of which is attached to the left buttock lower fixing part 56L via the support part fixing parts 54.

[0055] In this case, the right buttock upper support portion 52R and the right buttock lower support portion 53R are integrally formed into a substantially circular or elliptical shape to constitute the right buttock support portion SPR. In addition, the boundary between the right buttock upper support portion 52R and the right buttock lower support portion 53R is formed into a downwardly convex curve in Figure 7, and the shape of the right buttock lower support portion 53R is a crescent shape.

[0056] Furthermore, the area occupied by the right buttock upper support portion 52R in the right buttock support portion SPR is larger than the area occupied by the right buttock lower support portion 53R in the right buttock support portion SPR.

[0057] Similarly, the left buttock upper support portion 52L and the left buttock lower support portion 53L are integrally formed into a generally circular or elliptical shape to constitute the left buttock support portion SPL. The boundary between the left buttock upper support portion 52L and the left buttock lower support portion 53L is a downwardly convex curve in Fig. 7, so that the left buttock lower support portion 53L has a crescent shape. Here, the crescent shape refers to the shape of a crescent moon in a broad sense, and refers to a shape that corresponds to a wide range of lunar phases between a new moon and a waxing crescent moon.

[0058] Furthermore, the area occupied by the left buttock upper support portion 52L in the left buttock support portion SPL is larger than the area occupied by the left buttock lower support portion 53L in the left buttock support portion SPL.

[0059] In the above configuration, the right buttock support part SPR is formed in a position facing the gluteus maximus muscle of the right buttock of the wearer us, and the left buttock support part SPL is formed in a position facing the gluteus maximus muscle of the left buttock of the wearer us.

[0060] The support portion fixing portion 54 includes a right support portion fixing portion 54R formed around the right buttock support portion SPR, and a left support portion fixing portion 54L formed around the left buttock support portion SPL.

[0061] The right support portion fixing portion 54R is formed with a constant width so as not to inhibit the stretchability of the right buttock upper support portion 52R and the right buttock lower support portion 53R. Similarly, the left support portion fixing portion 54L is formed with a constant width so as not to inhibit the stretchability of the left buttock upper support portion 52L and the left buttock lower support portion 53L.

[0062] It should be noted that the support portion fixing portion 54 does not necessarily have to be provided, and it is also possible to configure the buttocks upper support portion 52 and buttocks lower support portion 53 to be directly provided on the buttocks covering portion 51 .

[0063] The upper support part 55 is stretchable and has appropriate elasticity to fit closely to the abdomen and waist of the wearer us. Here, the upper support part 55 includes a right upper support part 55R formed integrally with the right buttock covering part 51R, the right buttock lower fixing part 56R, and the right abdominal part covering part 61R, and a left upper support part 55L formed integrally with the left buttock covering part 51L, the left buttock lower fixing part 56L, and the left abdominal part covering part 61L.

[0064] The buttock lower fixing portion 56 includes a right buttock lower fixing portion 56R and a left buttock lower fixing portion 56L. The right buttock lower fixing portion 56R is positioned on the buttocks side in a position facing the wearer's gluteal sulcus GF and is formed so as to contact the lower end of the right buttock covering portion 51R and the lower end of the right support portion fixing portion 54R, and is formed on the abdominal side so as to contact the side and lower end of the right abdominal covering portion 61R. The lower end of the right buttock lower fixing portion 56R is cylindrical so as to go around the leg of the user us.

[0065] Similarly, the left buttock lower fixing portion 56L is formed on the buttock side so as to contact the lower end of the left buttock covering portion 51L and the lower end of the left support portion fixing portion 54L, and on the abdomen side so as to contact the side and lower end of the left abdominal covering portion 61L. The lower end of left buttock lower fixing part 56L is cylindrical so as to go around the leg of user us. That is, left buttock lower fixing part 56L goes all the way from crotch covering part 58 on the buttocks side, through the side, to crotch covering part 58 on the abdomen side, excluding crotch covering part 58, and is fixed to the right thigh.

[0066] A right cylindrical portion 57R having a cylindrical shape is formed by three-dimensional molding below the right buttock lower fixing portion 56R. Similarly, below the left buttock lower fixing portion 56L, a left cylindrical portion 57L having a cylindrical shape is formed by three-dimensional molding.

[0067] The crotch covering portion 58 has a boat-like shape in a plan view, and is adapted to cover the crotch of the wearer us.

[0068] Next, we will explain the relationship between the elasticity (compression) of each part. The relationship between the stretchability (wearing pressure) of the buttocks covering portion 51, the upper buttocks support portion 52, the lower buttocks support portion 53 and the lower buttocks fixing portion 56 will be described below. The buttock covering part 51, upper buttock support part 52, lower buttock support part 53 and lower buttock fixing part 56 are designed to exert different pressures on the wearer depending on the knitting structure and the elasticity of the material.

[0069] More specifically, of the upper buttocks support portion 52, the lower buttocks support portion 53 and the lower buttocks fixing portion 56, the lower buttocks fixing portion 56 is designed to have the lowest vertical and horizontal elasticity (= third elasticity). As a result, the buttocks lower fixing portion 56 firmly fixes the buttocks lower portion (under the hips) in a predetermined position.

[0070] The lower buttocks support part 53 is designed to have 1.5 to 2 times the vertical and horizontal elasticity of the lower buttocks fixing part 56 (=first elasticity, i.e., first elasticity > third elasticity). Furthermore, the upper buttocks support portion 52 is designed to have more than twice the vertical and horizontal elasticity (= second elasticity, i.e., second elasticity > first elasticity) of the lower buttocks support portion 53.

[0071] In addition, the buttocks covering portion 51 is designed to have vertical and horizontal elasticity of a value between the elasticity of the lower buttocks support portion 53 and the elasticity of the lower buttocks fixing portion 56 (=fourth elasticity, i.e., first elasticity > fourth elasticity > third elasticity). As a result, the upper buttocks support portion 52 and the lower buttocks support portion 53 work together to lift the gluteus maximus muscle portion of the buttocks, thereby enhancing the hip-up effect.

[0072] At this time, the lower buttocks (under-hips) are securely fixed in place by the lower buttocks fixing part 56. Therefore, the upper buttocks support part 52 and the lower buttocks support part 53 work together to move the fat near the gluteal crease GF upward, preventing the buttocks from appearing sagging due to an excess of fat near the gluteal crease GF and providing a slimmer appearance, further enhancing the hip-lifting effect in appearance.

[0073] FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of the components of the corrective shorts of the third embodiment before the left and right sides are sewn together. As mentioned above, the shapewear shorts 50 are bilaterally symmetrical, so in FIG. 9, only the right-side member 50R is shown.

[0074] The right side member 50R includes a right buttock covering portion 51R, a right upper support portion 52R, a right lower support portion 53R, a right tubular portion 57R, and a right abdominal covering portion 61R. Here, the right upper support portion 52R and the right lower support portion 53R constitute a right buttock support portion SPR.

[0075] Furthermore, a crotch covering portion sewing notch 62 for sewing the crotch covering portion 58 is provided at the seam between the right side member 50R and the left side member 50L.

[0076] In the above-described configuration, the right tubular portion 57R is formed into a tubular shape without being sewn by three-dimensional stitching. Furthermore, the seam SL between the right-side member 50R and the left-side member 50L is only along a line that runs from the front of the wearer's abdomen via the front of the gluteal cleft of the wearer's buttocks to the waist, so the line of the corrective shorts is minimized as much as possible on the side of the wearer's body.

[0077] FIG. 10 is an explanatory rear view of the corrective shorts of the third embodiment when worn. When the wearer us wears the corrective shorts 50, as shown in Figure 10, the right buttock support part SPR and the left buttock support part SPL will protrude in parts that correspond to part of the gluteus maximus GM of the buttocks BU of the wearer us.

[0078] The elasticity of the corrective shorts 10 allows them to fit snugly against the buttocks of the wearer us, and the right buttock support part SPR and the left buttock support part SPL press against the area corresponding to part of the gluteus maximus GM of the buttocks BU of the wearer us from the surrounding area, causing it to protrude backward (towards the viewer in Figure 10), and also lifting that area from below upward, enhancing the hip-up effect. In this case, the corrective shorts 10 are provided with a lower buttocks fixing portion 56, at least a portion of which is positioned opposite the gluteal crease GF of the wearer us, and which has lower elasticity (= third elasticity) than the elasticity (= first elasticity) of the lower buttocks support portion 53.

[0079] FIG. 11 is an explanatory perspective view of the corrective shorts of the third embodiment when worn. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, when the portions of the right buttock support part SPR and the left buttock support part SPL that correspond to part of the gluteus maximus GM of the buttocks BU of the wearer us protrude, the upper support part 52, the lower support part 53 and the lower buttock fixing part 56 work together to push up the buttocks BU of the wearer us from below.

[0080] In addition, the appropriate adhesive force acts to cause the portion of the buttocks BU facing the gluteus maximus muscle to protrude upward and backward (toward the viewer in FIG. 10). As a result, a hip-lifting effect can be easily achieved.

[0081] Furthermore, the most protruding part is the upper support part 52, which has the highest elasticity, i.e., the lowest pressure, so the lines of the corrective shorts do not stand out unnaturally, and a rounded, natural hip line can be formed.

[0082] That is, the shape-shaping shorts 50 of the third embodiment can be worn naturally to suit various body types without excessively constricting the body of the wearer us, and can beautifully shape the body, especially the hip line. Therefore, the fit of the wearer us is not impaired.

[0083] [3.1] Modification of the third embodiment In the above explanation, the area occupied by the right buttock upper support portion 52R in the right buttock support portion SPR is larger than the area occupied by the right buttock lower support portion 53R in the right buttock support portion SPR, and the area occupied by the left buttock upper support portion 52L in the left buttock support portion SPL is larger than the area occupied by the left buttock lower support portion 53L in the left buttock support portion SPL.

[0084] In contrast, it is also possible to configure the area occupied by the right buttock upper support portion 52R in the right buttock support portion SPR to be smaller than the area occupied by the right buttock lower support portion 53R in the right buttock support portion SPR, and the area occupied by the left buttock upper support portion 52L in the left buttock support portion SPL to be smaller than the area occupied by the left buttock lower support portion 53L in the left buttock support portion SPL.

[0085] In this case, the hip-lifting effect is thought to be smaller than in the third embodiment described above, but it is possible to maintain the hip line more stably. It's getting bigger.

[0086] [4] Fourth embodiment Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. FIG. 12 is a rear view of the shaping shorts of the fourth embodiment. In FIG. 12, the same parts as those in the third embodiment in FIG. 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0087] The fourth embodiment differs from the third embodiment in that, in the upper buttocks support portion 52A and the lower buttocks support portion 53A, the direction in which the upper buttocks support portion 52A is positioned (the direction along the dotted arrow in Figure 12) relative to the position of the lower buttocks support portion 53A is tilted toward the suture portion SL and is in a direction that intersects with the suture portion SL (the extension direction of the spine), compared to when the direction is approximately parallel to the suture portion SL (the extension direction of the spine) as in the third embodiment.

[0088] In this case, the extension direction of the upper buttocks support portion 52A and the lower buttocks support portion 53A is the vertical direction indicated by the dashed dotted arrow, and the direction perpendicular to this vertical direction is the horizontal direction.

[0089] Like the third embodiment, the corrective shorts 50A of the fourth embodiment have a symmetrical shape and are made entirely of a material with moderate elasticity, so that they fit snugly against the wearer's body.

[0090] According to the configuration of the fourth embodiment, when the portion of the right buttock support portion SPRA and the left buttock support portion SPLA that corresponds to part of the gluteus maximus GM of the buttocks BU of the wearer us protrudes, the upper support portion 52, the lower support portion 53 and the lower buttock fixing portion 56 cooperate to push up the buttocks BU of the wearer us from below to above and in the direction of the dashed arrow so as to move it toward the center.

[0091] In addition, the appropriate adhesive force acts to cause the portion of the buttocks BU facing the gluteus maximus muscle to protrude upward and backward (toward the viewer in FIG. 10). As a result, a firmer buttock lifting effect can be easily achieved.

[0092] [5] Fifth embodiment FIG. 13 is a rear view of the corrective shorts of the fifth embodiment. In FIG. 13, the same parts as those in the third embodiment in FIG. 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The fifth embodiment differs from the third embodiment in that a belt-shaped buttocks intermediate support portion 59 is provided between the upper buttocks support portion 52B and the lower buttocks support portion 53B.

[0093] In the above configuration, the buttock intermediate support portion 59 includes a right buttock intermediate support portion 59BR and a left buttock intermediate support portion 59BL. In addition, the vertical and horizontal elasticity of the buttocks middle support part 59 is set to be higher than the elasticity of the buttocks lower support part 53B (= first elasticity) and lower than the elasticity of the buttocks upper support part 52B (= second elasticity), resulting in elasticity that is exactly halfway between the two (fifth elasticity: i.e., second elasticity > fifth elasticity > first elasticity).

[0094] Like the third embodiment, the corrective shorts 50B of the fifth embodiment have a symmetrical shape and are made entirely of a material with moderate elasticity, so that they fit snugly against the wearer's body.

[0095] According to the configuration of the fifth embodiment, when the portions of the right buttock support portion SPRB and the left buttock support portion SPLB that correspond to part of the gluteus maximus GM of the buttocks BU of the wearer us protrude, the upper support portion 52B, the lower support portion 53B, and the lower buttock fixing portion 56 cooperate to push up the buttocks BU of the wearer us from below.

[0096] In addition, the adhesive force changes more smoothly than in the third embodiment, and acts to cause the portion of the buttocks BU facing the gluteus maximus muscle to protrude upward. As a result, a more beautiful buttock-lifting effect can be easily achieved.

[0097] [5.1] Modification of the fifth embodiment In this fifth embodiment, as in the fourth embodiment, in the buttock support portion SPRB and the left buttock support portion SPLB, it is also possible to arrange them so that their upper portions are inclined toward the sewn portion SL in the direction in which the upper buttock support portion 52A is arranged relative to the arrangement position of the lower buttock support portion 53A, as in the fourth embodiment. According to this configuration, the effects of the fourth embodiment can be obtained in addition to the effects of the fifth embodiment.

[0098] [6] Modifications of the embodiment In the above embodiments, short-style shorts have been described as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to long-style shorts. [Explanation of symbols]
