Solution Overview

Problem

Current shaping pants with compressive butt cups cause discomfort and poor applicability to varying hip circumferences, failing to effectively lift and shape the buttocks without flattening them.

Innovation Solution

A combined butt-lifting shapewear comprising an outerwear and innerwear, where the innerwear features a butt relaxation portion and a butt-lifting shaping portion, allowing for a round and cute butt shape while accommodating different hip sizes through a hollow or shirring structure, and connected by stitching or bonding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If compressive butt cups are used in shaping pants, then the butt-lifting and shaping effect is improved, but the comfort and applicability to different hip circumferences deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebutt shapeVSAvoiddiscomfort and flattening
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The shapewear is divided into two functional layers: an innerwear layer with butt-lifting function and an outerwear layer for coverage. The innerwear further segments the butt region into a relief portion (avoiding direct compression) and a lifting portion (providing shaping), allowing differential treatment of different anatomical areas to achieve both shaping and comfort

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fabric composition varies by region: the butt-lifting shaping portion uses high elastic modulus fabric (80-95% spandex) for strong compression and shaping, while the butt relief portion uses low elastic modulus fabric (5-20% spandex) for comfort and breathability. This local differentiation allows the garment to provide targeted shaping where needed while avoiding compression in areas requiring relief

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Shape

If high elasticity body-shaping fabric is used, then the shaping effect is improved, but the applicability to different hip circumferences deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshaping effectVSAvoidapplicability to different hip circumferences
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The garment uses fabric with extreme elasticity (spandex content of 80-95%) that can dynamically adjust its compression level based on the wearer's body dimensions. The high elastic modulus fabric automatically adapts to different hip circumferences through its inherent stretch properties, eliminating the need for multiple sizes while maintaining effective shaping across various body types

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The shapewear employs dynamic fabric that responds to body movements and breathing. The high elastic modulus material continuously adjusts its tension to match the wearer's physiological state, providing consistent shaping effect whether the wearer is at rest or moving, and adapting to different hip circumferences without losing effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Shape

If compressive force is increased to enhance lifting effect, then the butt-lifting effect is improved, but the comfort and prevention of flattening deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelifting effectVSAvoidflattening and discomfort
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The design preemptively counteracts the harmful effect of flattening by incorporating a butt relief portion that specifically avoids compression in the area prone to flattening. The relief portion is positioned to prevent the high compression fabric from causing flattening, while the lifting portion simultaneously provides the desired lifting effect on the buttock curves

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The butt relief portion acts as a counterbalancing element that offsets the excessive compressive force from the lifting portion. By providing a non-compressive zone, it counteracts the flattening tendency created by the high compression fabric, maintaining both lifting effect and comfort

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)
