Integrated Lining Fabric for Buttocks Support and Abdomen Shaping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pants fail to effectively support the buttocks while maintaining comfort and a natural silhouette, as they either lack sufficient shaping ability or are uncomfortable due to restrictive designs.
Innovation Solution
The pants incorporate a lining fabric attached from the buttock area to the front, joined at the waistline and crotch, with stretchable fabrics and adjustable fasteners, featuring a buttocks supporting patch and abdomen suppressing patch for enhanced shaping and comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a controlling undergarment such as a girdle is worn under the pants, then body shape can be created, but since such underwear squeezes the wearer's body, it is not comfortable to wear
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the outer pants and inner shaping undergarment into a single integrated garment. The lining fabric is constructed with power net material having different extension rates than the garment fabric, creating internal shaping zones that contour the body without requiring a separate girdle. This integration eliminates the discomfort of layered squeezing while maintaining shaping effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The lining fabric is designed with spatially varying properties - the power net material has different extension rates in different directions (higher in vertical direction, lower in horizontal direction). This local differentiation of fabric properties creates targeted shaping zones at the waist and hips while maintaining comfort in other areas, avoiding uniform compression throughout the body.
2Shape
If pants with a power net fabric sewn to the wrong side of the back body are used, then body shaping is intended, but the lining fabric and the garment fabric are almost dimensionally equal making them little effective for supporting the buttocks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the dimensional parameters of the lining fabric relative to the garment fabric. The power net lining fabric is constructed with different extension rates than the outer garment fabric, creating dimensional differences that enable effective buttocks support. Specifically, the lining fabric has controlled extension characteristics that provide lifting and shaping force on the buttocks region while the garment fabric maintains its own dimensional stability.
3Reliability
If a non-stretchable belt-like patch is applied to a highly stretchable lining fabric, then buttocks support is intended, but the buttocks shape tends to be disfigured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the extension rate parameters of the lining fabric itself rather than adding non-stretchable patches. By constructing the power net fabric with specific extension rate differentials in different directions, the fabric provides directional support that lifts and contours the buttocks naturally without creating disfiguring pressure points or rigid structural interference.
4Shape
If lining fabric for the back body only or front body only is sewn at sides, then body shaping is intended, but they are twitched at the sewn portions awkwardly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the lining fabric continuous from the back body through the sides to the front body, allowing it to perform multiple functions simultaneously: shaping the back, sides, and front; providing uniform tension distribution; and preventing twitching at seam locations. This continuous construction eliminates the discontinuities and stress concentrations that cause awkward twitching when lining is restricted to only back or front sections.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design provides effective buttocks support and abdomen shaping while ensuring comfort and a natural appearance, with the lining fabric and patches working together to create a smooth, unnoticeable silhouette.
Implementation Method 1
the garment fabric and the lining fabric are both stretchable in the lengthwise and widthwise directions

AI summary
[Problem to be Solved] To provide pants which look like ordinary pants, have a buttocks supporting effect and assure excellent wearing comfort.[Solution] Pants, in which a lining fabric covering the region ranging from the buttock portion of the back body through the sidelines to partial portions of the front body is attached inside the garment fabric of the front and back bodies, with fasteners interposed between the lining fabric and the garment fabric, the lining fabric and the garment fabric being sewn to each other at the waist belt, the crotch and the side seam allowances for integration.
