The inner shell of the breast cup and the outer shell of the breast cup may be shaped from a solid piece of flexible material. The inner shell of the breast cup may be smaller than the outer shell of the breast cup.
1. A breast covering garment cup apparatus comprising:
an inner shell having a concave shape selected from a number of available cup sizes; and
an outer shell having a convex shape selected from a number of available breast cup sizes, wherein (i) said inner shell of said breast cup and said outer shell of said breast cup are shaped from a single piece of flexible material, (ii) said size of an inner surface of said inner shell of said breast cup is smaller than said size of an outer surface of said outer shell of said breast cup and (iii) said single piece of flexible material has a void, said void being filled with one or more pads, said pads formed using a second flexible material of a different substance than said single piece of flexible material.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said inner surface of said inner shell of said breast cup and said outer surface of said outer shell of said breast cup are molded from said single piece of flexible material.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said inner surface of said inner shell of said breast cup and said outer surface of said outer shell of said breast cup are seamlessly molded from said single piece of flexible material.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said inner surface of said inner shell of said breast cup and said outer surface of said outer shell of said breast cup are seamlessly molded by compressing said single piece of flexible material.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said single piece of flexible material comprises foam.
6. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein said flexible material comprises gel.
7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a void within a portion of said single piece of flexible material.
8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein said void is configured to be filled with one or more gel pads through an opening formed in said single piece of flexible material.
9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein said void is configured to be filled with a core pad.
10. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein said void is configured to be filled with a plurality of core pads.
11. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein said core pad is connected to said apparatus with adhesive.
12. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein said core pad is fused to said apparatus.
13. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein said core pad is laminated to said apparatus.
14. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said breast cup is individually manufactured and later selected and assembled in response to one or more particular needs of a user.
15. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said inner surface forms a crescent shape.
16. The apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein said crescent shape creates a concave effect to provide the appearance of symmetry when used with one of a pair of asymmetrical breasts.
17. The apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein said crescent shape design includes a void.
18. The apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein said void is filled with one or more of (i) gel, (ii) foam, (iii) one or more gel pads and (iv) flexible material.
19. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said breast cup is molded with an attachment device on one or both sides to allow one or more coupling devices to be attached to said attachment device.
