Garment for suppressing genital bulge caused by a penis

Abstract

Apparatuses, garments, undergarments, and systems for suppressing genital bulge for a person with a penis are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a garment includes a body component having a left leg opening, a right leg opening, and a torso opening. The body component includes an inner layer and a compression component. The inner layer comprises a skin-facing side, and the compression component is configured on a side opposite the skin-facing side of the inner layer. An appendage compartment is configured to have an appendage compartment opening on the skin-facing side of the inner layer. The garment can suppress genital bulge by compressing, with the compression component, a penis received in the appendage compartment in a rearward direction, between the left leg opening and right leg opening.

         3 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment includes an outer layer, wherein the outer layer is configured on a side of the compression component opposite the inner layer, and wherein the left and right leg openings are defined by an attachment of the inner layer and the outer layer. 
     
     
         4 . The garment of  claim 1 , further comprising a band configured to the inner layer around the torso opening, wherein the inner layer and the band are attached by an attachment around the torso opening, wherein the band comprises at least a portion of the compression component. 
     
     
         5 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the compression component comprises a compression layer attached to the inner layer at the front of the garment and at the back of the garment. 
     
     
         6 . The garment of  claim 5 , wherein the compression layer is attached to the inner layer at the torso opening. 
     
     
         7 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the compression component comprises a compression layer, and wherein the compression layer comprises a stretch-mesh fabric. 
     
     
         8 . The garment of  claim 2 , wherein the appendage compartment comprises an appendage sleeve configured to separate the penis of the person wearing the garment, received through the appendage opening, from other skin of the person. 
     
     
         9 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the compression component comprises a compression layer,   the compression layer comprises a single piece of fabric, and   the compression layer is configured encircling the torso opening and between the left leg opening and the right leg opening.   
     
     
         10 . An undergarment for suppressing genital bulge, the undergarment comprising:
 an inner layer of material, the inner layer of material comprising a skin-facing side, the skin-facing side configured to contact skin of a person wearing the undergarment;   an appendage compartment comprising an appendage compartment opening configured on the skin-facing side of the inner layer, the appendage compartment opening configured to open to a volume of the appendage compartment located at least in part between a left leg opening of the undergarment and a right leg opening of the undergarment; and   a compression layer of material configured on an opposite side of the skin-facing side of the inner layer of material.   
     
     
         11 . The undergarment of  claim 10 , wherein the undergarment further comprises an outer layer of material configured on an opposite side of the compression layer of material from the inner layer of material. 
     
     
         12 . The undergarment of  claim 11 , further comprising a band component comprising at least a portion of the compression layer of material. 
     
     
         13 . The undergarment of  claim 10 , wherein the compression layer of material comprises an elastic material. 
     
     
         14 . The undergarment of  claim 10 , wherein the appendage compartment comprises an appendage sleeve comprising fabric sewn and/or bonded to the undergarment, and the volume of the appendage compartment is defined, at least in part, by the appendage sleeve and the inner layer of material. 
     
     
         15 . The undergarment of  claim 10 , further comprising a torso opening configured to receive a torso of a person wearing the undergarment, wherein:
 the compression layer of material is configured surrounding the torso opening and between the left leg opening and the right leg opening.   
     
     
         16 . A method for manufacturing an undergarment that includes a compression component configured to exert a rearward force on a penis of a person wearing the undergarment, the method comprising:
 constructing an inner layer of material in an inner layer pattern;   constructing a compression layer of material in a compression layer pattern;   constructing an outer layer of material in an outer layer pattern;   attaching the inner layer of material, the compression layer of material, and the outer layer of material together around a torso opening of the undergarment,
 wherein the compression layer of material is configured enclosed between the inner layer of material and the outer layer of material; and 
   attaching the inner layer of material and the outer layer of material around a left leg opening of the undergarment and around a right leg opening of the undergarment.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the inner layer of material comprises a skin-facing side opposite the compression layer of material, and the method further comprises:
 attaching an appendage sleeve on a skin-facing side of the inner layer of material.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein attaching the inner layer of material, the compression layer of material, and the outer layer of material together around the torso opening of the undergarment comprises attaching a band component around the torso opening, the band component comprising the compression layer of material enclosed by the outer layer of material and the inner layer of material. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the compression layer of material surrounds the torso opening and is configured between the right leg opening and the left leg opening. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising attaching the compression layer of material to the inner layer of material in a location between the right leg opening and the left leg opening.
