ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of perspiration absorbent pads for female breasts are provided, which are particularly adapted for placement between the overlying breast and the adjacent surface of the chest to preclude skin-to-skin contact and to absorb perspiration in that area. The pads may comprise generally cylindrical absorbent devices, having either random fiber or other fill material therein or a rolled sheet of absorbent material. Such cylindrically shaped pads provide for moisture absorption and also provide some uplifting of the breast to produce the appearance of a fuller bust line. Other embodiments comprise a relatively thin and flat pad, having a non-slip outer sheet of material, a moisture impervious layer, a thin moisture absorbent layer, and another layer to transfer moisture to the moisture absorbent layer. The relatively thin pads may also include a relatively thicker portion similar to the cylindrical pads, to provide greater absorption properties and uplift. Some of the pad embodiments are particularly adapted to be retained between the breast and adjacent chest, depending upon the fullness of the breast, and require no adhesives or other form of retention to remain in place. Others provide for attachment to the inner surface of the lower portion of a brassiere cup, to absorb perspiration emanating from the lower front portion of the breast. Any of the pad embodiments may be formed of reusable or economically disposable materials, as desired.
