ABSTRACT:
A figure adjusting pad is capable of permitting mold release to be readily carried out and is significantly improved in air-permeability, thus preventing a wearer from having an unpleasant feeling toward it when it is worn, and eliminating ply separation with use. The figure adjusting pad includes a pad body including a foamed layer increased in air-permeability and arranged on a wrong side thereof and a silicone gel layer arranged on a right side thereof, which are laminated on each other. The pad also includes a cover sheet for covering an outer surface of the pad body, which includes a facing sheet for covering a front side of the pad body and a backing sheet for covering a rear side of the pad body. The facing sheet includes a knitted web increased in stretchability arranged on a front side thereof and a polyurethane film arranged on a rear side thereof and laminated on the knitted web. The backing sheet includes a non-woven fabric or a knitted web increased in air-permeability which is thermally bonded to the foamed layer by means of an air-permeable hot melt.
