Strapless Thong Using Adhesive to Eliminate Panty Lines
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional undergarments, such as thongs and G-strings, often show through tight or form-fitting clothing, causing distracting lines and visibility issues, especially with waistbands visible under low-cut garments, and existing solutions fail to securely stay in place during everyday movement.
Innovation Solution
An open-sided brief garment design utilizing a pressure-sensitive adhesive to attach the anterior and posterior portions to the wearer's skin, eliminating the need for a waistband and ensuring secure, comfortable, and line-free wear, with a reinforcing layer supporting the adhesive for enhanced stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a waistband is used in conventional undergarments, then the garment can be easily positioned and secured, but the waistband becomes visible through tight or form-fitting clothing creating distracting lines
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the waistband component entirely from the undergarment design. The garment consists only of the crotch panel and adhesive portions, extracting the problematic waistband element that causes visible lines under form-fitting clothing while maintaining garment security through adhesive attachment to the body.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the mechanical waistband system (which relies on elastic tension and physical containment around the waist) with an adhesive attachment system. The adhesive portions chemically bond to the skin, providing security without the mechanical waistband structure that becomes visible under tight clothing.
2Reliability
If a spring wire frame is used to maintain the waistless thong in place, then the garment can be secured without a waistband, but the structure becomes complex and may not securely stay in place during everyday movement
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the spring wire frame component from the garment design. Instead of using a complex mechanical frame structure, the invention relies on the adhesive portions to provide all necessary security and positioning, simplifying the overall garment construction while maintaining reliability during movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the mechanical spring wire frame system with an adhesive attachment system. The adhesive provides secure attachment through chemical bonding to the skin, eliminating the need for complex mechanical support structures while maintaining garment security during everyday activities.
3Reliability
If adhesive is used to attach the garment to the body, then the garment can remain secure during movement without a waistband, but the adhesive may not provide sufficient holding force
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies adhesive only to specific portions of the garment (the anterior and posterior portions) rather than the entire garment. This localized application concentrates the adhesion force where it is most needed for security during movement, while the adhesive strength is enhanced by the reinforcing layer support.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite structure where the adhesive is applied to a reinforcing layer (such as foam or fabric) which is attached to the crotch panel. This composite construction distributes the mechanical stresses and enhances the overall adhesion strength, allowing the garment to remain secure during movement without requiring excessive adhesive material.
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 adhesive-based design provides secure, comfortable, and line-free wear, offering freedom and confidence by eliminating panty lines and maintaining position during movement, suitable for repeated use and various clothing types.
Implementation Method 1
the anterior portion and the posterior portion attach to the wearer by a removable pressure sensitive adhesive affixed to interior surfaces of the anterior and the posterior portions of the garment
Data Source
AI summary
A strapless G-string or thong type undergarment is disclosed. The undergarment is adhered to the wearer by means of adhesive, thereby eliminating the need for a waistband. The undergarment provides freedom of movement and confidence in the wearer while being invisible under closely fitting or low-cut clothing.
