UnBra breast pillow

Abstract

The U-Bra Breast Pillow is a strapless women's undergarment that fits around the breast area, fastens in the back, and has a unique memory foam pillow attachment in the front which tucks under large breasts to provide a natural lift. The front center gathering provides comfortable breast separation, adornment, and style. It is a complete breast covering bandeau with an attached under-breast memory foam technology that lifts the breasts and contours the chest without straps, underwire, or buckles. The U-Bra Breast Pillow system aims to contribute positive effects on the back, neck, and shoulder areas by relieving top-heavy tension, defying gravity with frontal support and alleviating tight, downward pulling strap marks from the shoulders that often causes discomfort for individuals with a large, well-endowed chest area. It elevates unsightly sagging breasts, promotes fullness, and provides a sense of freedom and confidence for a fuller, more voluptuous appearance.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to an undergarment breast band covering the breast area with a unique memory foam pillow lift. The U-Bra Breast Pillow system is a unique nontraditional bra or undergarment that enables users to customize the selection, style, and usage. The selection and customization can occur at the point of purchase. Interchangeable customization can be based upon size, shape, and colors. A user's compatibility, choice, and selection can be worn as under or outer wear.

Women's under garments and particularly bras, have become a major part of fashion industry. As more and more bra types, functions, purposes, and designs of bras are available today, consumers naturally attempt to find the undergarment with the optimum combination of style and comfort to meet their special or specific needs. As women get older, they begin to experience gravity working against them. Breast appear heavier often causing shoulder pain, back pain, and upper body discomfort. Women often find themselves wanting to go braless, however, they really don't like the visible and unappealing shape of their breast just hanging low, unshapely, unsupported, and sagging. This invention conforms and molds itself to the user's shape and upper torso, thereby allowing for a comfortable and secure fit and lift due to the bandeau, breast band shape.

In today's market, women find the structure of the traditional bra, and their related accessory components; confining, restricting and in some cases bruising to the shoulders, back area and underarms. The traditional bra is usually constructed with shoulder straps, underwire, and back straps. Women have often found these binding, uncomfortable, and restrictive. The solution to problems that some traditional bras can cause, is the U-Bra Breast Pillow.

The U-Bra Breast Pillow is a unique undergarment designed to free, uplift, and support the breasts from underneath without harsh wires, tight straps or binding materials. It is a revolutionary design that is comfortable, unrestrictive, simple, and easy to use. It is a pillow like ledge of support that works as a stand-alone undergarment, or as an additional piece and component to the traditional bra unit. The U-Bra Breast Pillow is a strapless women's undergarment that fits around the breast area and fastens in the back. The front has an attached, enclosed, memory foam padding pillow that tucks under the breasts to provide natural and strap free lift. The center front gathering provides breast separation, adornment, and style. It is a complete breast covering bandeau with an attached under breast memory foam casing/technology that lifts the breast, and contours the breast area without straps, underwire, or buckles.

It is estimated that about 75-80% of women have trouble with proper bra fittings, measurements, and selections. Even with some specific breast measurements, it is difficult to use one measurement due to various types of bras which include: plunges, full cups, half cups, pushups, fashionable, fitting, well-fitting, sports, and string pull-up bras, and more. The various bra types often require a different measurement and cup size for each traditional bra style. For example, where a user might wear a 36 D in a “Full Cup Bra”, the same user might be a 36DDD or 36G in a “Plunge Bra”. This is a problem that had been known to cause frustration and confusion for the ladies, young woman, and girls since the invention of the traditional bra.

Over time, woman's breast size may change significantly, particularly during and after pregnancy. Other factors include weight loss, weight gain, menopause, and menstrual cycle with body weight variations. All of which can influence the fit, look, and appeal of the traditional bra. As women begin to mature, they are looking for comfort, uniqueness, simple solutions, and liberating style and experience. Over the years, along with life changes, women find themselves with an over whelming desire to just simply go free and braless. Girls begin wearing traditional bras at puberty, ages 10-12 typically. Women can easily say they wear bras most of their life from age 10-80 on average. This results in seventy years or more of being bound up, restricted, and harnessed around the breast area for a vast spectrum of their lives. On an average work or school day, a woman or young girl wears the traditional bra for about 42% of her day, and the first thing she wants to do when she gets home is to take the traditional bra off. However, the older or well-endowed woman really don't care for the look and appearance of sagging breasts as it is unattractive and unappealing even around the house in the presence of their mate, children, or love ones. Now with the Un-Bra Breast Pillow, users can wear this band-like undergarment that has a special breast pillow lift from underneath as a welcomed replacement to the traditional bra. At the end of the day ladies can easily change from the traditional bra to the Un-Bra Breast Pillow in a way that eliminates drooping or sagging breasts.

Un-Bra Breast Pillow is designed as an under support without straps. The band, contour, and lift like no other undergarment. A spandex bodice/tube or bandeau surrounds the breasts, sides, and upper back area; as the unique memory foam is positioned, rolled, and placed under and in-between the crease of the under breast and rib cage. It extends horizontally from side to side providing a comfortable hug surrounding the upper torso.

The U-Bra Breast Pillow extends from far-left side of the under breast to the far-right side of the under breast. Each breast will lay on top of the memory foam breast pillow. Well-endowed women may simply rest their breasts on top and fold breasts over the memory foam ledge pillow.

This allows the user to feel good about their form, posture, and support. U-Bra Breast Pillow targets and relates to the full figured, well-endowed women, who over time with the assistance of gravity tend to sag in their bosom. However, customization can take place to support petite women as well. This invention can be used within an interchangeable system, or as a stand-alone in your existing undergarments.
