Swimsuit With Integrated Adjustable Girdle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing beach and pool garments lack adjustable components, such as snaps, making it difficult to achieve a secure and comfortable fit, and they are not designed to provide compression or shaping support for postpartum or postoperative users.
Innovation Solution
A bathing suit with an integrated shaping girdle featuring multiple layers, including an outer layer, an inner girdle with adjustable closures like snaps, and an intermediate layer, allowing for adjustable straps and closure devices like zippers and hooks, ensuring secure fit, compression, and support without compromising water contact or movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a bathing suit is made without adjustable components, then the design is simple and manufacturing is easier, but the fit and compression capability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The bathing suit incorporates dynamic adjustment mechanisms including multiple rows of snaps, hooks, and zippers that allow the garment to be adjusted in real-time to different body sizes and compression requirements, transforming a static garment into a dynamically adaptable one
Solution Approach 2:
The bathing suit is divided into segmented components with multiple rows of fasteners (snaps, hooks, zippers) distributed across different sections, allowing independent adjustment of each segment to achieve customized fit and compression levels
2Adaptability or versatility
If a girdle is made to provide compression and shaping, then the body shaping effect is improved, but the garment becomes more complex and harder to manufacture
Solution Approach 1:
The bathing suit serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides compression, body shaping, support for postpartum or postoperative users, and adjustable fit accommodation, all within a single integrated garment structure
Solution Approach 2:
The garment allows adjustment of compression parameters through multiple rows of snaps and hooks, enabling users to modify the degree of compression and shaping according to their specific needs and body changes
3Device complexity
If a bathing suit requires forcing it up into final position without adjustment means, then the structure is simpler, but the ease of operation and user comfort deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The bathing suit incorporates pre-positioned adjustment mechanisms (snaps, hooks, zippers) that allow users to easily adjust and secure the garment in the correct position without having to force it up, performing the adjustment action in advance during the donning process
