Alternate embodiments of the apparatus may contain a clip, loop, snap or other fastener to attach the apparatus to the seatbelt or other strap, thus holding the apparatus in place while in use.

The breathable padded casing includes a plurality of soft and supple composite panels joined together so as to loosely confine the flowable aggregate and thereby provide a soft but firm appearance for the breast form.
