Abstract
A (short or long) girdle constituted including, in an area fitting over a wearer's body, tightening portions for which the magnitude of the tightening force varies with direction. The tightening fabric portions 21 each run from above the anal cleft, passing above the left or right buttock to the vicinity of the left or right greater trochanter when the girdle is being worn, and the tightening force in the direction in which each tightening fabric portion 21 runs is made to be low. Moreover, supplementary tightening fabric portions 22 are provided running along the tightening fabric portions 21 in front of the tightening fabric portions 21, and the tightening force in the direction in which each supplementary tightening fabric portion runs is made to be low.
Claims21
A crotch-possessing corrective garment comprising:
- a tightening portion in an area fitting over a wearer's body, for which the magnitude of the tightening portion's resistance to stretching varies with direction;
- wherein when the garment is being worn, the tightening portion runs from above the anal cleft of the wearer's body, extending both left and right passing above the left and right buttocks of the wearer's body, and downwards to a position overlying the left and right greater trochanters at left and right outer sides of the wearer's body, and the tightening portion's resistance to stretching in the direction in which the tightening portion runs is made to be lower than the tightening portion's resistance to stretching in the direction orthogonal thereto in a plane parallel to the surface of the skin of the wearer's body over which the tightening portion overlies, and
- wherein a left and right pair of supplementary tightening portions are provided so as to run along the tightening portion in front of the tightening portion in the lumbar region on the left and the right of the wearer's body, and the supplementary tightening portions' resistance to stretching in the direction in which each of the left and right pair of supplementary tightening portions runs is made to be lower than the supplementary tightening portions' resistance to stretching in the direction orthogonal thereto in a plane parallel to the surface of the skin of the wearer's body over which each of the supplementary tightening portions overlie.
The crotch-possessing corrective garment comprising:
- a tightening portion in an area fitting over a wearer's body;
- and supplementary tightening portions for which the magnitude of the tightening portion's and the supplementary tightening portions' resistance to stretching varies with direction;
- wherein the tightening portion runs from a position overlying the left and right greater trochanters at left and right outer sides of the wearer's body upwards to above the left and right buttocks of the wearer's body such as to point to above the anal cleft of the wearer's body when the garment is being worn, and the supplementary tightening portions are provided along the tightening portions in front of the tightening portion;
- and the resistance to stretching in the direction in which each of the tightening portion and the supplementary tightening portions runs is made to be lower than the resistance to stretching in the direction orthogonal thereto in a plane parallel to the surface of the skin of the wearer's body over which the tightening portion and each of the supplementary tightening portions overlie.
