ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for making a bra pad having a rigid foam that is thickest at the bottom of the pad for hidden support and a stretchable softer foam for comfort and universal fit throughout the entire pad. The method includes pre-laminating rigid and stretchable foam sheets with fabric and shaving the foam sheets. The rigid foam sheet is shaved so that it has a V-shaped recess and a gradually sloped interface between the V-shaped recess and remainder of the sheet. The stretchable foam sheet is shaved so that it has a pair of elevated areas. Then, the top surfaces of the shaved foam sheets are affixed together to form a pre-form assembly and the pre-form assembly is molded under heat. The pair of pads are then trimmed out.
