Problems solved by technology

Commonly, people may develop skin rashes and irritation between the thighs during or after walking.
Unfortunately, this can lead to erythema, edema, and chafing, as well as conventional rashes to develop between the thighs, bringing discomfort to the individual.
Unfortunately, this method of chafe prevention can quickly become expensive as these products such as Monistat Gel Powder™, SportSlick™, Hydropel™, and Monkey Butt Powder™, range from $6.00 to $17.00 and may require frequent purchase with continuous use in order to remain effective.
Presently there are few products on the market that attempt to address this issue.
However, one review indicated that “they became a bit rough after washing.” Unfortunately, many lace products are not designed to remain in good condition after multiple washes and wears, as some lace items may become more abrasive after washing, potentially causing additional skin irritation when worn subsequent times.
All lace rough and doesn't provide a smooth passing of the thighs.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]The present invention is a leg garment composed of a band (40) of material, sleeve-like in shape, and made of silicone-backed hosiery and / or lace material. Each edge, a proximal edge (10) and a distal edge (20), has a silicone-backed stretch lace attachment (30) that is designed to prevent the garment of the present invention from sliding down the leg. The band (40) is preferably made of hosiery, however alternate embodiments of the present invention employ a band (40) composed of swimwear material, namely composed of nylon, tricot, spandex, lycra, and acetate. The band (40) is preferably elastic and durable.

[0011]This invention is envisioned to also be manufactured with heavier hosiery and / or that of a spandex-like material for the band as a medical garment. The medical garment embodiment of the present invention would omit the lace, but still have silicone-backed stretch lace attachments (30) inside the proximal edge (10) and distal edges (20) of the band (40).

Abstract

An anti-chafing, anti-abrasion garment device is described. The device is configured to be worn between the thighs of a user, providing a buffer from skin-to-skin contact that can occur between the user's legs during movement. The garment device, when worn properly, is configured to adequately help protect the user from erythema, edema, chafing, and irritated skin which can commonly occur during walking, running, and jogging. The device is envisioned to remove the need to employ anti-chafing creams or other topical products on the inner thighs in order to prevent skin irritations and rashes.
