Abstract: A brassiere includes two cups for the breasts, a contact strip positioned under the cups that encircles an area below the bust, two shoulder straps connected to, and extending upwardly from, the cups, and connected to a rear panel, a middle panel positioned between the two cups, and side panels extending from the cups to the rear panel. Inner layers of the cups having a vertical elasticity of at least 60% with respect to a total vertical height of the cups, and at least 15% of the total area of the inner layers configured to contact the skin. The middle panel has a horizontal elasticity of at least 20%. The adherence capacity of the inner layers of the cups can be increased by a silicone material that has a high friction coefficient.

Abstract: A feminine undergarment includes two cups for the breasts, a contact strip positioned under the cups and intended to circle the bust, two support elements connected firstly to the cups in the upward extension of the latter and secondly to a rear panel, a middle panel lying between the two cups, and side panels extending from the cups to the rear panel. In the vertical direction, the inner wall of the cups has an elasticity of 60% at most, and at least 15% of the surface of the said wall has an ability to adhere to the skin. The middle panel has a horizontal elasticity of at least 20%, preferably of the order of 60% to 80%. The adherence capacity of the inner wall of the cups is due to the presence of a material that has a high friction coefficient with the skin, in particular of the silicone type.
