  • Patent number: 4992074
    Abstract: A soft, reusable, self-supporting bra is disclosed. The bra is comprised of two independent shaped forms having a plastic foam construction and are formed so as to have the desired shape. The forms may be worn underneath a conventional bra or bathing suit and are completely washable. Self-adhesive strips are included to hold the bra forms to the wearer. The strips are cut so as to overlay part of the bra, holding the bra forms in place without adhering to the wearer's breast skin.
