A thigh separator device may include a one-piece sheet of material having a first side, a first fold distinguishing the first side from a center section, a second fold distinguishing the center section from a second side. A coating may cover the one-piece sheet of material.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to body shaping and, more particularly, to a thigh separator device.

There are many women that deal with the unattractive look and irritating friction of thighs rubbing together due to excess weight or skin. Excess body garments can be uncomfortable, hot and detectable when worn underneath clothing.

As can be seen, there is a need for a device that increases/creates a gap between the inner upper thighs and is not detectable when worn underneath clothing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In one aspect of the present invention, a thigh separator device comprises: a one-piece sheet of material comprising a first fold line and a second fold line, wherein the one-piece sheet of material comprises a center section, a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is distinguished from the center section by the first fold line and the second side is distinguished from the center section by the second fold line.

In another aspect of the present invention, a method for separating the thighs of a user, comprises: placing a thigh separator device between the legs of a user, wherein the thigh separator device is defined as a one-piece sheet of material comprising a first fold line and a second fold line, wherein the one-piece sheet of material comprises a center section, a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is distinguished from the center section by the first fold line and the second side is distinguished from the center section by the second fold line; and centering the center section of the thigh separator device between the inner upper thighs and crotch area of the user.

These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, shown in use;

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 3 is a section view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, taken along line 3-3 in FIG. 2; and

FIG. 4 is a detail section view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a thigh separator device that may include a one-piece sheet of material having a first side, a first fold distinguishing the first side from a center section, a second fold distinguishing the center section from a second side. A coating may cover the one-piece sheet of material.

As is illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, the thigh separator device 10 may include a one-piece sheet of material 12. The one-piece sheet of material 12 may have a first fold line 18 and a second fold line 20. A first side 22 may be distinguished from a center section 26 by the first fold line 18. A second side 24 may be distinguished from the center section 26 by the second fold line 20. A coating 14 may cover the one-piece sheet of material 12.

In certain embodiments, the one-piece sheet of material 12 may be cut into a form that may create a gap between each inner upper thigh and the crotch area of a user 16. The coating 14 may be added to increase comfort for the user 16. When placed underneath clothing of the user 16, the thigh separator device 10 may mimic the shape of the crotch area squaring the thigh separator device 10 off. The first side 22 and the second side 24 of the one-piece sheet of material 12 may provide resistance which may push against the inner upper thighs of the user 16 creating spacing between the thighs of the user 16. Additional garments may not be necessary when using the thigh separator device 10. The thigh separator device 10 may be undetectable from the others while in use. The inner upper thighs of the user 16 may not rub together while the thigh separator device 10 may be in use.

In certain embodiments, the one-piece sheet of material 12 may be made from a material that allows for flexible resistance such as a metal, a durable plastic or the like. In certain embodiments, the coating 14 may be made from a plastic such as silicone, polyurethane and the like and other materials. In certain embodiments, the thigh separator device 10 may be a one size fits all type of device. In alternate embodiments, the thigh separator device 10 may have specialized forms manufactured per individual.

It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing relates to exemplary embodiments of the invention and that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.

Claims
