Description

Minimal clothing for spas and clinics

technical field

The present invention relates to a garment, in particular the present invention relates to minimal garments covering the genitals and female breasts of hot spring users and clinical patients.

Background technique

Gowns and sheets are often used in clinics and spas to allow protection from some of the shyness of the user when the user must meet professionals, patients, and other strangers. Wearing underwear or swimwear underneath or just underwear is not an option because they cover too much and often prevent the professional from accessing the area of skin being treated. However, in this case, it is not necessary to always touch or expose the genitals and female breasts of hot spring users and clinical patients.

Concern about unintentional exposure of genitals or female breasts is why some spa users don't request full-body massages. If these areas can be covered with some type of minimal clothing, spa users will be able to confidently request massages on exposed, uncovered body parts.

Conventional sheer underwear made of polypropylene plastic has sides and straps that interfere with massage, and are not biodegradable.

Contents of the invention

Briefly, garment embodiments of the present invention include biodegradable opaque fabric panels to cover female breasts and male and female genitalia. A high-tack painless adhesive is provided along the edge of each piece to secure each piece to the user's skin for single use. After a single use lasting no more than a few hours, the tablet is discarded as biodegradable waste. The panels in fabric style have seamed edges, darts and lining. Paper style features multiple layers and finished edges.

These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will no doubt become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Detailed ways

Figures 1A-1D illustrate a garment embodiment of the present invention, which is referred to herein by the general reference numeral 100. Garment 100 includes panels 101-103 for covering female breasts and male and female genitalia. Only biodegradable opaque fabrics are used throughout the drawings. For example, "Lyocell" is a fiber made of wood pulp cellulose manufactured by Lenzing, Inc. (Axis, Alabama), USA, and marketed under the trademark "TENCEL". The U.S. Federal Trade Commission defines "lyocell" as a cellulosic fabric obtained through an organosolvent spinning process, which is classified as a subcategory of rayon.

High tack painless adhesive strips 104-106 are provided along the edges of each sheet 101-103 to secure each sheet to the skin of the user 108 for single use. Such tapes are commonly referred to as "decorative tapes". Darts can be included to help fit the silhouette. Stitches 110 - 112 are used to finish the edges and may include elastic gathers 114 . Tablets 101-103 are discarded after a single use that does not exceed several hours. Fabric-style panels feature stitching, darts, and lining. Paper style features multiple layers and finished edges.

High-tack painless adhesive tapes 104-106 are peel-off pressure-sensitive types based on 2-octyly-cyanoacrylate type medical tissue adhesives. LEUKO Jet Tissue Adhesive and NILTAC or LEUKO Tape Remover may be used to assist in garment 100 application and removal.

The high-tack painless adhesive strips 104-106 are necessarily configured to contact areas of the user's skin that have little or no hair (e.g., above and outside the normal of the pubic hair, outside the areola, and above the gluteal cleft) ). Adhesives that come into contact with long or excess hair can exacerbate any slight pain in removing the garment.

2A-2C illustrate a spa garment embodiment of the present invention, which garment is generally referred to herein by the reference numeral 200 . The spa garment 200 includes decorative panels 201-203 to cover female breasts and male and female genitals. High tack painless adhesive strips 204-206 are provided along the edges of each sheet 201-203 to secure each sheet to the skin of the user 208 for single use. Stitches 210-211 are used, for example, to finish edges in the form of petals. A thin absorbent liner 214 is included and may be edged with elastic pleats. Discard spa garment after one use that lasts no more than a few hours. The minimal number of different sizes should fit almost any user, as no straps or belts are used.

Biodegradable disposable paper or woven cloth is a good material for all of the embodiments described herein because it is an inexpensive, hypoallergenic, inherently hygienic, and environmentally sustainable "green" product . Similar materials are used in disposable baby diapers.

3A-3D illustrate a thong-type women's brief embodiment of the present invention, designated herein by the general reference numeral 300 . The women's brief 300 includes a decorative front panel 302, a flat panel 304, piping 306, and a ruffle 308 visible from the outside. On the inside, a peeled pressure sensitive high tack painless adhesive tape 310 is attached to the top edge of the comfort panel layer 312 . Pad 314 is positioned below inner liner 316 and is connected to inner liner 316 . At the distal end on the inside, another peeled pressure-sensitive high-tack pain-free adhesive tape 318 is attached to the top edge of the distal end. The distal end is intended to be taped to the user's skin above the gluteal cleft. The peel tab 320 is shown peeled off in half, exposing the underlying tissue adhesive and thus ready for use.

4A-3D illustrate a male brief embodiment of the present invention, designated herein by the general reference numeral 400 . The men's brief 400 includes a cupped panel 402, a flat panel 404, a front edge 406, and a rear edge 408 visible from the outside. On the inside, a peeled pressure sensitive high tack painless adhesive tape 410 is attached to the top edge of the cup trim 402 . Inside the distal end, another peeled pressure sensitive high-tack pain-free adhesive tape 412 is attached to the top edge of the distal end. This distal end is intended to be taped tightly to the user's skin above the gluteal cleft, as shown in Figure 4C.

Stitches 606-611 are used in the creases above flap edges 612-615. The base color of the trims 616-617 and panels 602-605 can be selected to match the bottoms (as shown in Figures 5A-5B) to create a matching kit.

Peel-off pressure sensitive adhesive strips 618-621 are used to securely attach the tops 600 and 601 to the female user's skin. In one embodiment, the peel-off pressure sensitive adhesive tapes 600 and 601 are intended for one-time use, and the tops 600 and 601 are disposable.
