Adhesive garment
Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to an adhesive garment for application to a skin surface of a user. The adhesive garment comprises a stretchable material including an anterior surface and a posterior surface, an adhesive, wherein the adhesive is formed of a silicone or a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and wherein the adhesive is applied to a portion of the posterior surface of the stretchable material, and a liner, wherein the liner is attached to a portion of a surface of the adhesive opposite from the stretchable material.
1 . An adhesive garment for application to a skin surface of a user, the adhesive garment comprising:
a stretchable material including an anterior surface and a posterior surface, wherein the stretchable material has an elasticity ranging from about 120% to about 220%,
an adhesive, wherein the adhesive is formed of a silicone or a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and wherein the adhesive is applied to a portion of the posterior surface of the stretchable material, and
a liner, wherein the liner is attached to a portion of a surface of the adhesive opposite from the stretchable material.
2 . The adhesive garment of claim 1 , wherein the stretchable material includes at least one of polyester, cotton, nylon, hemp, or combinations thereof.
3 . The adhesive garment of claim 1 , wherein the stretchable material is a four-way stretchable material.
4 . The adhesive garment of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive does not comprise acrylic.
5 . The adhesive garment of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is applied in a pattern of discrete shapes configured to promote air flow between the adhesive garment and the skin surface of the user during use.
6 . The adhesive garment of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is applied in a wavelike, hexagonal, or linear pattern to the posterior surface of the stretchable material.
7 . The adhesive garment of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is applied in a pattern such that a first portion of the adhesive garment has a first tack level and a second portion of the adhesive garment has a second tack level, the first tack level being less than the second tack level.
8 . The adhesive garment of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is substantially free of solvents or hardeners.
9 . The adhesive garment of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive comprises silicone, and the silicone adhesive comprises crosslinked silicone.
10 . The adhesive garment of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive comprises TPE, and the TPE comprises rubber and a hydrocarbon.
11 . The adhesive garment of claim 10 , wherein the TPE comprises at least one of hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin and mineral oil saturated hydrocarbon.
12 . An adhesive garment for application to a breast area of a user, the adhesive garment comprising:
a first layer having an anterior surface and a posterior surface, wherein the first layer includes a lift portion, wherein the lift portion is configured to support a portion of the breast area during use, and
a second layer including a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) adhesive, wherein the TPE adhesive is applied to the posterior surface of the first layer.
13 . The adhesive garment of claim 12 , wherein the TPE adhesive is applied in a pattern of discrete shapes configured to promote air flow between the adhesive garment and the user's breast area during use.
14 . The adhesive garment of claim 13 , wherein the pattern extends to an edge of the adhesive garment.
15 . The adhesive garment of claim 12 , wherein the lift portion is configured to support a lower portion of the breast and to adhere to an area underneath the breast during use.
16 . The adhesive garment of claim 12 , wherein the first layer includes a winged outer portion configured to wrap around a side of the breast during use.
17 . An adhesive garment set comprising:
a first adhesive garment; and
a second adhesive garment;
wherein each of the first adhesive garment and the second adhesive garment include a first layer of breathable material and a second layer of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) adhesive applied to a posterior surface of the first layer.
18 . The adhesive garment set of claim 17 , wherein the adhesive is applied in a pattern of discrete shapes that provides spacing between portions of the TPE adhesive to allow for air flow in the spacing between the portions of the TPE adhesive.
19 . The adhesive garment set of claim 7 , wherein the pattern is a wavelike, hexagonal, or linear pattern.
20 . An adhesive garment for application to a skin surface of a user, the adhesive garment comprising:
a stretchable material including an anterior surface and a posterior surface,
an adhesive, wherein the adhesive is formed of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and wherein the adhesive is applied to a portion of the posterior surface of the stretchable material, and
a liner, wherein the liner is attached to a portion of a surface of the adhesive opposite from the stretchable material.
