Abstract: Described herein is a wearable garment for recovery of a wearer after the wearer has undergone a surgical procedure, the wearable garment having an outer shell including at least a back panel and two front panels that, when the wearable garment is worn about a wearer, have outer edges that are adjacent to each other, a fastening system configured to secure the outer edges of the front panels together, wherein the fastening system comprises a hook and eye mechanism and a zipper, thereby securing the wearable garment about the wearer, a compression region that provides a compressive force about the wearer; straps that hold the wearable garment about the wearer, and a drain loop strap attached to each of the front panels for holding a drain tube in a coiled configuration against the wearer.

Abstract: Various fabrics, compression garments and compression garment systems are described. Fabrics formed from wicking and absorbent materials provide effective compression and an improved environment next to a wearer's skin, which provides greater comfort and improved overall performance. Two and multi-layer compression garments are described. An outer layer may be formed with an opening having a closure and an elastic material joining the sides of the opening. This provides a first level of compression with the closure open and a second level of compression with the closure closed and also helps a user in applying the garment.

Abstract: A cup dispenser includes a body defining a storage region adapted for receiving for an associated stack of cup-shaped articles. The body includes an open end that provides access to the storage region. Multiple fingers are connected to the body for restricting the open end of the body. An adjustment ring is connected to the body and is movable relative to the body. Movement of the adjustment ring relative to the body alters a position of each of the fingers relative to the body. The adjustment ring includes a plurality of adjustment slots and the fingers each include an adjustment stud located in one of the adjustment slots. When the adjustment ring is rotated, the adjustment slots act as cams and the adjustment studs act as cam followers such that the fingers are simultaneously and uniformly adjusted in terms of their radial position relative to the body wall.

Abstract: A thigh anti-chafing garment to be worn with ordinary undergarments as a supplemental undergarment. The thigh anti-chafing garment includes sleeve members for removably and adjustably positioning around the thighs of a human. The sleeve members are adjustably suspended from a belt or other support adjustably positioned around the waist of the wearer by a plurality of additional supports or straps which are connected between the belt and the sleeve members.

Abstract: A pair of substantially identical garments are adapted to be worn on each upper thigh to protect the thighs against irritation due to friction when they are rubbed together during walking, running, exercising, etc. The garment comprises a tube of elastomeric cloth material having an upper end and a lower end. The upper end has a larger diameter than the lower end. The length of the garment along its central axis between the upper and lower end is less than approximately eleven inches and is preferably in the range of six to ten inches. Either the garment or separate pantyhose or underwear can be provided with padding between the inner thighs to further protect against skin irritation due to friction when the thighs rub against each other.

Abstract: A panty hose garment constructed with woven, friction reducing inner-thigh panels and knitted pant and leg portions; the leg portions extending below the knees of the wearer. The inner-thigh panels are of a woven fabric and the panels face or line the inner-thigh regions of the leg portions. The construction and position of these panels will prevent the skin of the wearer from coming through the knitted fabric and will shield the skin of each inner thigh of a wearer from rubbing against the knitted leg portion of the other leg of the garment or against the skin of the other thigh of the wearer. These panels extend downward along the inner thigh from the crotch of the garment part way down the leg portions at least one-half the distance from the crotch to the knee.
