Garment for containing moisture compositions
The present invention contemplates a garment comprising a band to be worn around a woman's torso, such as underneath a traditional garment top. The band comprises a stretchable compressive material having a generally cylindrical shape and one or more ribbing sections. The band may encircle the user's torso to cover at least a part of a protruding belly portion or skin and at least a portion of the user's back. The one or more ribbing sections may be worn underneath the protruding belly portion, providing support. The garment may serve to protect traditional garment tops, confine specialty skin products to the user's torso, or act as an extension of a traditional garment top to avoid exposure of skin.
