Bra with absorbent inserts beneath each breast

Abstract

A bra system that prevents excessive inframammary perspiration from a user's garments can include a bra with a first flexible material tube installed in a first cup and a second flexible material tube installed in a second cup. The flexible material tubes can be made of absorbent material to capture perspiration. The components can also be made of, or otherwise include, scented materials, odor masking materials, and/or odor eating materials, which can be varied.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A brassiere, comprising:
 a first cup, a second cup, and a torso-encircling band;   a first resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert installed in the first cup along a lower margin thereof; and   a second resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert installed in the second cup along a lower margin thereof;   wherein the lower margins of the first cup and the second cup are fastened to the torso-encircling band.   
     
     
         2 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein the first resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert is affixed to the first cup and the second resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert is affixed to the second cup. 
     
     
         3 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein the first resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert is stitched into the first cup and the second resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert is stitched into the second cup. 
     
     
         4 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein the first cup further comprises a first compartment and the second cup comprises a second compartment, and wherein the first resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert is positioned in the first cup and the second resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert is positioned in the second cup. 
     
     
         5 . The brassiere of  claim 4 , wherein the first resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert and the second resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert are removable from the first compartment and the second compartment. 
     
     
         6 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein the bra, first resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert and the second resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert are formed of an absorbent material and/or a moisture wicking material. 
     
     
         7 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the bra, the first resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert, or the second resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert includes material having a characteristic selected from the group consisting of: scent masking, odor masking, odor neutralizing, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one shoulder strap. 
     
     
         9 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein the first resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert and the second resilient, moisture conducting tubular insert have an arcuate configuration.
