Reversibly Wearable Winged Bra With Dual-Sided Adhesive
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional winged bras lack reversibility and sufficient long-term support, as they typically have adhesive on only one side of the wings, leading to instability and discomfort over time.
Innovation Solution
A reversibly wearable strapless winged bra with dual-sided adhesive wings, featuring protective layers on both sides of the wings that can be detached to expose adhesive for secure attachment to the torso, providing additional support and stability through medical-grade silicone adhesive.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If adhesive material is applied on only one side of the wings in conventional winged bras, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the bra lacks reversibility and provides insufficient long-term support
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive functionality is segmented into two separate adhesive layers applied on opposite sides of the wings, allowing the bra to be worn from either side. This segmentation enables reversibility while maintaining structural integrity through the dual-sided adhesive configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The wings are designed to serve multiple functions: providing structural support, enabling reversible wear through dual-sided adhesive application, and offering attachment options to both the cups and the user's torso. This multi-functionality achieves versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Reliability
If adhesive material is applied on only one side of the wings, then manufacturing is simpler, but the bra becomes unstable and uncomfortable after certain time of wear
Solution Approach 1:
Adhesive material is applied locally on both the front and back portions of the wings rather than uniformly on one side. This local quality enhancement provides targeted support and stability at the wing-to-torso interface while maintaining ease of manufacture through a straightforward dual-sided application process.
3Duration of action of moving object
If dual-sided adhesive wings are used to provide additional support and stability, then the bra can be worn for longer periods with improved support, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive layers are pre-applied to both sides of the wings during manufacturing, allowing the user to simply peel and stick the bra in place. This preliminary action extends wear duration and readiness for use without adding operational complexity for the user.

Function Achieved in This Case
The dual-sided adhesive design enhances breast support and stability, allowing the bra to be worn for longer periods while maintaining a uniform appearance and reducing the need for multiple lingerie pieces.
Implementation Method 1
an adhesive layer applied on both sides of the wings, to secure the pair of cups and improve its adjustability to the breasts

AI summary
The present invention provides a winged bra that can be worn reversibly. The winged bra includes a pair of cups attached together from one end. An adhesive wing is fixed at the other end of each cup wherein adhesive is applied to both sides of the wing. The winged bra is strapless and reversibly wearable by the user by peeling off a protective layer from either side of the adhesive wing to be attached to the torso of the user, and attaching the bra to the torso.
