Patent Application
20240358097
The present disclosure generally relates to a clothing item, and more particularly to pants or jeans for mothers during maternity.
Carrying a child and giving birth are physically stressful times for mothers. The needs of carrying and birthing children can extend a great physical toll. Often the process can exact a great mental toll on the mothers as well. One of the largest mental tolls can come from the extreme changes to the mother's body and how her clothing no longer fits. Maternity clothing is a large market with shirts specially designed to be larger in the front to extend around and accommodate the mother's pregnant belly.
While this fashion trend has created a larger market for tops, the same market has not extended to pants. The waistband of many pants can push into or cut into the skin on the pregnant belly, making pants uncomfortable to wear normally. Often expecting mothers are forced to buy larger sizes of pants than normal that do not fit any part of their lower body but allow for the pregnant belly to be accommodated. Another frequent solution is for the mother to wear stretchy or elastic pants, but this solution does not help working women who are not able to wear these pants at work. Not being able to have nicer styles of pants in the mother's normal size, such that the pants fit well in all areas, can be one of the major mental strains on an expecting mother. While the mother's belly is growing, external factors can solidify the feelings of growing fat, not fitting in clothes, or never being able to get the weight off after the baby. Many mothers feel the dichotomy between needing to pick clothes that are comfortable for their pregnant belly, and clothes that fit the rest of their lower body and look nice.
Embodiments of the present disclosure can include a pant that can comprise a waistband, wherein the waistband can slope from a back side to a front side, and wherein the front side can be shaped as a semi-circle, and the pant can also comprise two legs extending down from the waistband.
Other embodiments of the present disclosure can include a pant that can comprise a waistband, wherein the waistband can slope from a back side to a front side, and wherein the front side can be shaped as a U-shape, and the pant can comprise two legs extending down from the waistband.
For a more complete understanding of this disclosure, reference is now made to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
The present disclosure describes a pant for use by pregnant women. The pant can have a front side that is lower than a back side so that the front side can fit around the user's pregnant belly without pressing against or cutting into the skin of the user's pregnant belly.
Two legs 200 can extend down from an upper portion 210 of the pant 10. In different embodiments of the pant 10 the two legs 200 can have different shapes for different styles. The two legs 200 of the pant 10 can fit the same as the same size and style of traditional pant, allowing the user the same fit and style while accommodating the user's pregnant belly.
While the pant 10 has been described in the present disclosure to be used for pregnant mothers, there are other uses considered by the disclosure. The pant 10 can also be used for people who have had abdomen surgery, have abdomen issues, use colostomy bags, people who need easy access to the lower abdomen, people with medical issues where traditional pants hurt or restrict too much, or combinations thereof.
Although the present disclosure and its advantages have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Moreover, the scope of the present application is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments described in the specification. As one of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate substitutions presently existing or later developed that perform substantially the same function or achieve substantially the same result as the corresponding embodiments described herein may be utilized according to the present disclosure.
