Abstract:
1. An undergarment comprising: at least one layer that is worn by being placed against a region of a user's skin, the at least one layer having an exposed outer surface, the exposed outer surface having: a) a first area that has a first frictional characteristic; and b) a second area that has a second frictional characteristic, the first area of the exposed outer surface tending to resist sliding movement of an overgarment thereagainst more than the second area of the exposed outer surface, the first area of the exposed outer surface tending to maintain a contacted surface of an overgarment releasably held against sliding movement along the first area of the exposed outer surface while the second area of the exposed outer surface allows a similar contacted surface of an overgarment to slide more readily along the second area of the exposed outer surface so as not to hang up and thereby accumulate or bunch at the second area of the exposed outer surface away from the first area of the exposed outer surface, wherein the undergarment has first and second cups each having an upper marginal edge with a lateral extent and the first area of the exposed outer surface is at the upper marginal edges of the first and second cups, wherein the first area of the exposed outer surface comprises a coating that is applied to an underlying layer and cured.
