  • Patent number: 8596452
    Abstract: A system and method for storing a cupped brassiere and panty in an undergarment travel case is provided. The travel case has a lid and bowl shaped container that are connected to each other by a living hinge. The bowl shaped container has a recess that is formed in a generally flat bottom of the container. The recess receives underwire portions of the cupped brassiere. The brassiere is folded such that the cups face each other in a mirror image arrangement with the underwire portions being positioned against one another. Upon insertion, downward pressure is applied to the underwire portions of the brassiere. This pressure locates and positions the brassiere in the recess of the travel case. Next, a set of brassiere support straps connected to the brassiere are then folded and placed within a central interior portion of the cups. The panty is then folded and placed next to the support straps. The cover is then closed and the case is latched together through latching components.
