Abstract:
1. A crotch-possessing corrective garment comprising: a tightening portion in an area fitting over a wearer's body, for which the magnitude of the tightening portion's resistance to stretching varies with direction; wherein when the garment is being worn, the tightening portion runs from above the anal cleft of the wearer's body, extending both left and right passing above the left and right buttocks of the wearer's body, and downwards to a position overlying the left and right greater trochanters at left and right outer sides of the wearer's body, and the tightening portion's resistance to stretching in the direction in which the tightening portion runs is made to be lower than the tightening portion's resistance to stretching in the direction orthogonal thereto in a plane parallel to the surface of the skin of the wearer's body over which the tightening portion overlies, and wherein a left and right pair of supplementary tightening portions are provided so as to run along the tightening portion in front of the tightening portion in the lumbar region on the left and the right of the wearer's body, and the supplementary tightening portions' resistance to stretching in the direction in which each of the left and right pair of supplementary tightening portions runs is made to be lower than the supplementary tightening portions' resistance to stretching in the direction orthogonal thereto in a plane parallel to the surface of the skin of the wearer's body over which each of the supplementary tightening portions overlie.
