Patent ID: 8517794

Claim:
A stretch mark prevention garment for use in preventing stretch marks caused by expansion and stretching of skin in an individual, said stretch mark prevention garment comprising: a substantially tubular shaped outer layer of material having an inner surface, an outer surface, upper edge and a lower edge; said substantially tubular shaped outer layer of material being made of a breathable material having elastomeric properties that provide an inward tension on a body of a wearer; an inner layer made of a non-slip material located on the inner surface of the outer layer that maintains a constant adherent traction with the skin of the wearer that in combination with the outer layer opposes any stretching forces on the wearer's skin that contribute to creation of stretch marks; and said inner layer being arranged in a webbed fishnet pattern of lines on the inner surface of the outer layer to allow a wearer's skin to make contact with both the inner layer of non-slip material and the inner surface of the outer layer, thereby allowing air to pass through the outer layer of breathable material and to come into contact with the wearer's skin.
