Abstract
A compression short is provided which provides specific compression to reduce movement in certain areas of a wearer's body. The short is constructed of a plurality of strips of elastomeric material sewn together. These strips are oriented primarily in diagonal configurations. Two groups of elastomeric strips of fabric extend downwardly across the front portion of the short, and two groups of elastomeric strips of fabric extend downwardly across the rear portion of the short, each group of strips extending from the upper portion of the short downwardly, or diagonally, to the lower portion of the short, from one side to the opposite. Each group extends downwardly at an angle of 40° and 50° from a side seam of the garment. The strips may have a width of between 2 inches and 4 inches.
