Abstract: An absorbent garment has a pair of breast cups, each having a layer of moisture-wicking one-way transport material, an inner layer of absorbent terry cloth, an inner layer of foam, and an outer layer of water-resistant material. An inner face of the absorbent terry cloth is fully laminated to an outer face of the one-way transport material. An outer face of the absorbent terry cloth is fully laminated to an inner face of the foam. An outer edge of the one-way transport material is coupled to an outer edge of the foam. An outer face of the foam is fully laminated to an inner face of the water-resistant material. The absorbent terry cloth has an outer edge that does not extend to the outer edges of the one-way transport material or the foam such that the absorbent terry cloth is fully enclosed between the one-way transport material and the foam.

Abstract: A brassiere has a chest band, a portion of which includes a pair of concavities, each of which is to be located below one of a wearer's breasts. A pair of curved support members is attached to the chest band along the pair of concavities, respectively. A breast cup is situated within each concavity. Each breast cup has an inner liner, an outer liner, and a foam pad sandwiched between the inner and outer liners. The inner and/or outer liner of each breast cup is attached to the chest band along the respective concavity. The foam pad of each breast cup is not attached to the chest band, other than by way of the inner and/or outer liner. The chest band has an inner layer touching a wearer's skin, an outer layer facing outwardly from the wearer, and an intermediate layer sandwiched between the inner and outer layers.
