As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Bra Barrier Device we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.
Many women often experience skin rashes and lesions caused by the chafing of their bras, perspiration and heat combined. The Bra Barrier Device is an absorptive, protective, barrier layer worn as an insert between the bra and the skin that cushions and sooths irritated skin, wicks away perspiration, and acts as a barrier layer preventing abrading from the lower border of the bra. The Bra Barrier Device can also have a therapeutic function by providing medication to affected areas if it's fibers are impregnated with substances like aloe or zinc oxide.

The Bra Barrier Device is comprised of a flexible, flat absorptive protective band worn on an abdomen of a women's body. The top edge of the band extends under the breasts and a lower border at the cups of the bra, providing greater comfort for the user of the bra.

Objects of the present invention:

to provide a bra barrier device that will prevent dermal irritation and lesions caused by heat, moisture and chafing associated with the use of a bra

to provide a bra barrier device that seeks to sooth, protect and medicate skin areas about the female breast which have already been affected and irritated

to provide a bra barrier device that is simple and easy to use

The following pictures are meant to display possible physical characteristics of the present invention and are not to be taken in a limiting sense. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
