FEMALE UNDERWEAR HAVING A CROTCH PANEL HAVING A SPACER MATERIAL WOVEN INTO OPPOSITE LAYERS OF FABRIC

Abstract

Disclosed is a female underwear having a crotch panel having a spacer material woven into opposite layers of fabric. In one aspect, a female underwear includes a crotch panel having a spacer material woven into opposite layers of a fabric. A surrounding area of the female underwear encapsulates the spacer material woven in the crotch panel to encompass a waist of a female wearer. A spacer fabric may have three layers of monofilament yarns standing between an upper fabric and/or a backing fabric. The spacer fabric may have an air-spaced interior core to provide breathability to the crotch panel of the female wearer. The spacer fabric may include a resiliently compressible monofilament yarn in a middle layer to provide for ventilation and/or to move moisture away from a body of the female wearer. The middle layer may be created from a polyester material.

Description

FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY

This disclosure relates generally to women's undergarments or lingerie and more particularly to underwear with a crotch panel having a spacer material.

BACKGROUND

A female underwear (e.g., a panty, a bikini bottom) may be designed to be worn by wearer (e.g., a female) and to cover a lower half of a female torso. The female underwear may be form-fitting but may also be loose. Components of the female underwear may include an elastic waistband, a crotch panel to cover a genital area, and a pair of leg openings that, like the waistband, may be elastic. The crotch area may need to be separately lined with a cotton material and/or an external pad to provide for moisture absorption. However, this may create an unsightly ‘bulge’ around a vagina covered by the female underwear.

Moreover, even when the cotton material and/or an external pad is not applied, an outline of a female labia majora may be seen through a tight fitting female underwear. Due to a combination of anatomical factors and the tightness of the fabric covering it, the crotch and mons pubis may take on a resemblance to the forefoot of a camel. This may create embarrassment and may be uncomfortable for a wearer of the female underwear.

SUMMARY

Disclosed is a female underwear having a crotch panel having a spacer material woven into opposite layers of fabric.

In one aspect, a female underwear includes a crotch panel having a spacer material woven into opposite layers of a fabric. A surrounding area of the female underwear encapsulates the spacer material woven in the crotch panel to encompass a waist of a female wearer.

A spacer fabric may have three layers of monofilament yarns standing between an upper fabric and/or a backing fabric. The spacer fabric may be woven together on a knitting machine without requiring any gluing. The spacer fabric may have an air-spaced interior core to provide breathability to the crotch panel of the female wearer. The spacer fabric may include a resiliently compressible monofilament yarn in a middle layer to provide for ventilation and/or to move moisture away from a body of the female wearer. The middle layer may be created from a polyester material.

The spacer fabric may simulate a stretchability, a compressibility and/or a resiliency of a conventional foam material while providing enhanced air and/or moisture permeability. A spacer material may protect creases of a vagina of the female wearer. The spacer material may mask an outline of the vagina when viewed externally from the female underwear to prevent an appearance of a camel toe and/or to provide a symmetrical attractive look in the crotch panel. The spacer material may be permanently woven into the female underwear. The female underwear having the spacer material may eliminate a need of a disposable pad. The female underwear is a panty and/or a bikini bottom.

In another aspect, a female underwear includes a crotch panel having a spacer material woven into opposite layers of a fabric. A surrounding area of the female underwear encapsulates the spacer material woven in the crotch panel to encompass a waist of a female wearer. A spacer fabric has three layers of monofilament yarns standing between an upper fabric and/or a backing fabric.

FIG. 5 is a wearer view 550 illustrating a female wearing the female underwear 150 of FIG. 1, according to one embodiment. Particularly, FIG. 5 builds on FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 and further adds a waist 502 and a female wearer 504, according to one embodiment.

The waist 502 may be a part of the female wearer's trunk between the bottom of the rib cage and/or the pelvis. The part of the female underwear 150 may cover the waist 502 of the female wearer 504, according to one embodiment. The female wearer 504 may be a female who may wear the female underwear 150 to cover the entire lower half of the female torso, according to one embodiment.

In one embodiment, FIG. 5 illustrates the female underwear 150 may offer just enough stretch for smooth fit and constant comfort to female wearer 504. A surrounding area 206 of the female underwear 150 may encapsulate the spacer material 204 woven in the crotch panel 202 to encompass a waist 502 of a female wearer 504. The spacer fabric 208 may have an air-spaced interior core 308 to provide breathability to the crotch panel 202 of the female wearer 504. The spacer fabric 208 may include a resiliently compressible monofilament yarn 310 in a middle layer 312 to provide for ventilation and/or to move moisture away from a body of the female wearer 504. A spacer material 204 may protect creases of a vagina of the female wearer 504.

An example embodiment will now be described. Erin may be a lifeguard who may need to wear tight bikini attire (e.g., skirts, trousers, etc.) for her work at the Oceanside Beach Resort in Miami Florida regularly. She may wear tight fitting underwear on regular basis as part of her working attire. She may need to work for 10 hours daily. She may not be comfortable enough and may feel embarrassed wearing underwear that enables the outline of her private areas (e.g., genital areas) to show through.

Thankfully, one day, Erin may have learned of the new features of the underwear having spacer material described in FIGS. 1-5. The various embodiments disclosed in FIGS. 1-5 may offer Erin masking for her private areas without sacrificing style. Further, the various embodiments of female underwear of FIGS. 1-5 may offer Erin enough stretch for smooth fit and constant comfort, without exposing outlines of areas of her private parts. The underwear types described in FIGS. 1-5 may be designed to accommodate a variety of functions, such as, providing necessary comfort, support and/or modesty for Erin. In addition to these functions, the underwear may also offer support in desired locations and be lightweight, breathable and aesthetically appealing. Spacer fabric as a component material used in the various embodiments of the FIGS. 1-5 may be highly breathable, thus creating a moisture free environment, which in turn may reduce the chances of skin infections. These features of the present embodiments of FIGS. 1-5 may lead to an increased level of comfort.

The various embodiments of the FIGS. 1-5 may also protect creases of vagina. The underwear having the spacer material may eliminate a need of a disposable pad which may provide an additional benefit to Erin. Erin may now feel comfortable while serving as a lifeguard.

A number of embodiments have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. Accordingly, other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.

The structures and modules in the figures may be shown as distinct and communicating with only a few specific structures and not others. The structures may be merged with each other, may perform overlapping functions, and may communicate with other structures not shown to be connected in the figures. Accordingly, the specification and/or drawings may be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.
