Abstract
A device for supporting a garment having a slip-resistant material impregnated into a support material, wherein selective placement of the device onto a garment increases the friction between garment and the wearer's skin without deforming the contact surface, thus helping to prevent the garment from sliding relative to the wearer's skin.
Claims29
A device for supporting a garment relative to a contact surface comprising:
- a. a slip-resistant material;
- and
- b. a support material,
- wherein the slip-resistant material is impregnated into the support material, the device is in contact with the contact surface, the slip-resistant material has a higher coefficient of friction relative to the contact surface compared to the garment, and the placement of the device onto the garment is selective;
- and
- whereby the placement of the device onto the garment increases the friction of the garment with the contact surface.

A device for supporting a garment relative to a wearer's skin comprising:
- a. a slip-resistant material selected from the group consisting of silicone, rubber, soft plastics, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- b. a support material comprising at least two sides, with a first side being a contact side for contacting the wearer's skin and a second side being an attachment side for attaching to the garment,
- wherein the slip-resistant material is integrated into the support material on at least the contact side, the device is attached to the garment at the attachment side, the device is in contact with the wearer's skin at the contact side, the slip-resistant material has a higher coefficient of friction relative to the wearer's skin compared to the garment, and the device is selectively placed along an edge of the interior of the garment;
- whereby the placement of the device onto the garment increases the friction of the garment with the wearer's skin without deforming the garment or irritating the wearer's skin.
