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.

Abstract: Clothing provided, on the inner surface side thereof at such a position as covering the meridian point of a human body wearing the clothing, with a plurality of elastic small protrusions having a diameter of 2-4 mm at the bottom face thereof and located in a region of 50-120 mm2 for one meridian point. Even if the positional shift takes place of the clothing and regardless of difference in physique of a wearing object, any one of the small elastic protrusions is positioned oppositely to the meridian point and imparts a slight tactile stimulus to meridian points P1-P3.
