Abstract:
1. A compression garment to be worn during or after pregnancy, comprising: a pair of legs comprising left front and rear leg panels, and right front and rear leg panels, the rear leg panels joining together at a central seam, a body panel attached to a top portion of the pair of legs such that the body panel in use will at least partially encircle a wearer's body, and a crotch panel disposed between the pair of legs and attached to the body panel at a front of the compression garment, the crotch panel being attached at front lateral seams to the two front leg panels and extending to the two rear leg panels to which the crotch panel attaches at two rear seams that converge upon the central seam so that, the frontal lateral seams and rear seams are positioned, in use, to be clear of a wearer's perineum, and wherein the panels of the garment are formed from an elasticized fabric, the crotch panel being formed of at least 2 ply of elasticized fabric, and the frontal lateral seams, rear seams, and the central seam are flat-lock seams to minimize line pressure at the seams of the garment to, in use, exert consistent compression across the crotch panel onto the wearer's perineum.
