A pants garment has a pair of thigh leg members for covering the thigh area of a wearer. A front thigh elastic band member is provided substantially at a front side of each of the thigh leg members and extends obliquely from an upper front portion to a lower front portion of each thigh leg member. A back thigh elastic band member is provided substantially at a back side of each of the thigh leg members and extends obliquely from an upper back portion to a lower back portion of each thigh leg member. The garment also has a front and back crus elastic band members extending obliquely on crus leg members, which cover the crus areas of the wearer.

Pants garment

A (short or long) girdle constituted including, in an area fitting over a wearer's body, tightening portions for which the magnitude of the tightening force varies with direction. The tightening fabric portionseach run from above the anal cleft, passing above the left or right buttock to the vicinity of the left or right greater trochanter when the girdle is being worn, and the tightening force in the direction in which each tightening fabric portionruns is made to be low. Moreover, supplementary tightening fabric portionsare provided running along the tightening fabric portionsin front of the tightening fabric portions, and the tightening force in the direction in which each supplementary tightening fabric portion runs is made to be low.

Crotch-posessing corrective garment

An object of the present invention is to provide a girdle which can improve posture by acting on the muscles around the pelvis, is easy to handle and can be worn with no uncomfortable feeling. An example of the present invention is a girdle (short girdle and long girdle) containing, in an area fitting over a wearer's body, a tightening portion for which the magnitude of a tightening force varies with areas. When the garment is being worn, the tightening fabric portion extends from the vicinity of an upper part of the buttocks cleft, passing the vicinities of upper parts of the right and left buttocks, to the vicinities of the right and left greater trochanters, and the tightening fabric portion may be made of material having a tightening force. Moreover, a body front tightening fabric portion is provided at the front of the garment.

Crotch-possessing corrective garment

A long girdle includes a main body part for covering from a lumbar region to an upper part of a thigh, and a support line part stitched on the main body part. The support line part has a lower end beginning at a connecting line that connects front and rear portions of the main body part, and an upper end ending at the connecting line. The support line part extends over the front side of the thigh and a section which is located at the rear side of the thigh and the lower section of the rump-cleft, in a spiral to cover a region where the great adductor muscle of the thigh is located. The main body part and the support line part are configured with a stretchable material, and the tightening force of the support line part is stronger than that of the main body part.

Crotch-possessing garment

A leg support garment of a tights type that has stretchability and is applied in close contact with the human body so as to support the legs is provided with a stretchable part having a relatively great straining force. The stretchable part having a relatively great straining force includes a stretchable portion (A) having a relatively great straining force that substantially covers the ligamentum collateralle on a medial side of the knee joint of the human body, and on a superior side of the knee joint, extends through a length of not less than &#xbc; of that of the thigh, along at least one selected from the musculus group consisting of the musculus sartorius, the musculus semitendinosus, the musculus semimembranosus, and the musculus gracilis. Thus, it is possible to provide a leg support garment that is capable of effectively protecting the knees and stably maintaining the knee joints without decreasing the degree of freedom of the movement of the knee joints, that provides a good feeling when worn, and that is useful for preventing and reducing gonalgia of the knees, and further, for preventing injuries to the ligamentum collateralle medialis caused by sports or the like.

Tights-type leg support garment

An upper body garment which selectively supports the muscles used during inhalation without hindering the movement of the spinal column. The upper body garment is constructed by stitching, to a shirt that adheres closely to the body, a plurality of band-form fabrics having a stretchability lower than that of the shirt. The stitching of the band-form fabrics occurs along several defined anatomical lines such as: the first lines that extend from the left and right acromia to a portion that corresponds to the center of the sternum, second lines which extend from this portion corresponding to the center of the sternum, pass beneath the breast area, and extend to the left and right armpit areas, and third lines which connect the left and right armpit areas of the second lines to each other on the back surface.
