ABSTRACT:
A breast pad for absorbing moisture around a breast area supported by a brassiere, is provided by a layer of absorbent material, a layer of moisture retention material and a base layer having at least partially disposed on one side thereof a releasable adhesive material, wherein the releasable adhesive material is affixed to a cup surface of a brassiere so that said absorbent material is in contact with skin around the breast area. The material may be provided with notches to allow conformance of the material to the shape of the brassiere and with attachment tabs to assist in positioning the layer of absorbent material. Another embodiment of the breast pad for absorbing moisture around a breast area may provide layers of substantially absorbent material disposed on opposite sides of a moisture retention layer having two opposed longitudinal edges joined at opposed ends, the layers of absorbent material positioned adjacent the breast and the midriff to absorb moisture. The longitudinal edges may be provided with notches to conform the material to the underside of the breast or the longitudinal edges may be provided in a concavo-convex configuration. Adjacent breast pads may be joined by an attachment flag extending from one end thereof.
