Abstract: A breast pack for providing warm or cold therapy to the female breast is disclosed. The breast pack can be formed of a generally C-shaped or semicircular top layer and bottom layer, each having a central opening, which layers are joined along their perimeter edges to define a pocket therebetween which is filled with a thermal gel material. The breast pack, when heated or cooled, retains such heat or coolness for a long period of time. In use, the breast pack is formed into a conical shape by overlapping its ends and adjusted to the size and contour of the user's breast.

Abstract: A moisture managing brassiere for sports wear and general wear includes a front portion, a back portion connected to the front portion, and a pair of shoulder straps connected respectively at one end to the front portion and at respective opposite ends to the back portion. The brassiere is constructed of a composite stretch fabric including an inner fabric layer, and intermediate fabric layer, and an outer shell fabric layer. The inner fabric layer is constructed of hydrophobic moisture wicking fibers for residing in skin contact during garment wear. The intermediate fabric layer resides adjacent to the inner fabric layer for receiving, dispersing, and transporting moisture outwardly away from the inner fabric layer. The outer fabric layer resides adjacent to the intermediate fabric layer for receiving and dispersing moisture wicked outwardly from the inner and intermediate fabric layers.

Abstract: A bathing suit top includes inflatable bladders in each of the cup portions of the top to provide support for the breasts of the wearer. An air pump is secured to the inflatable portions of the bathing suit top to selectively fill the first and second breast support bladders with ambient air. The air pump is preferably positioned in the connecting portion of the bathing suit between the two cups such that the pump can be discretely hidden behind a small piece of fabric. When the air pump is depressed air is forced into the two air bladders in the bathing suit cups and the breast support bladders are simultaneously filled to the same level in order to provide the identical amount of support to both breasts. The breast support bladders are designed to include three peninsula shaped sections to enable the breast support bladder to conform to the shape of the individual wearers breasts.

Abstract: A protective breast cup arrangement wherein at least one breast cup member formed of a rigid cup-shaped construction includes a matrix of apertures directed therethrough, with the breast cup having an annular rim orthogonally oriented relative to a cup axis, with the rim including a continuous cushion member secured coextensively to an exterior surface of the rim to afford cushioning and frictional engagement about an individual's breast.

Abstract: A heated bra is arranged to relieve engorgement in a lactating mother, wherein the bra structure includes a heated wire member directed coextensively in surrounding relationship relative to each cup member in electrical communication with an electrical energy source.
