“…Because of this, there are studies that try to understand the psychological effects of pressure from clothes as in the works. [19][20][21][22] Other works use numerical simulation to understand how the clothing interacts with the people as in the works of [23][24][25][26] or algorithms are used to try to predict the pressure on the body as in the work of Cheng et al 27 There are efforts to scale the size of clothing using technologies such as virtual reality 28 or 3D body scanning. 29 In relation to these concerns about the pressure on the body, there is already a study that attempts to design a pant that relieves the pressure when performing some movement, as in the case of Bragança et al, 30 research, where the highest pressures exerted were measured on the body and in these regions were placed reliefs.…”

Jeans are considered the most democratic of garments, but some of them may be uncomfortable and, in view of this fact, the objective of this study was to evaluate the comfort obtained by women's jeans considering the influence of the pressure perceived by the users and the measured by sensor film in the interaction of the jeans with the body. By means of a quantitative research of a correlational character, the data on the perception of the comfort of the women's jeans were collected by the application of a questionnaire with students of higher and technical courses of the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Sul - Erechim Campus, aged between 18 and 34 years. The answers were analyzed to see how the participants evaluate their bodies and the jeans available in the market. In the sequence, an experiment was carried out evaluating the perception of comfort that the users had in the use of jeans in different models and fabrics, as well as the pressure was measured by means of sensor film. The data were compared and correlated to determine pressure parameters considered comfortable by wearers during contact of the jeans with the body. It was observed that the pants with elastane presented different results in relation to the opinion of the participants and the pressure measurements shown by the sensors. That is, for both jeans with smaller sizes and those with larger sizes, participants rated jeans as comfortable, but the sensors measured higher pressure results for jeans of smaller sizes. This finding shows that by giving elasticity to the tissue, elastane may be masking excessive pressure being applied to the body and can cause health problems.

“…In the present study [12, 13] we examined α wav intensity in various regions of the brain stimulated by different clothing pressures along the waist to determine their utility as an alternative measurement of clothing pressure discomfort. Our work lays the foundation for relevant research on objective clothing pressure measurements and contributes to the physio-psychology study on the body’s response to clothing pressure stimulus.…”

Despite the importance of clothing pressure discomfort in the undergarment industry, a reliable unbiased measurement of clothing pressure discomfort has not been well-established. In the present study, we investigate changes in brain wave activity as a potential objective and consistent measuring tool for clothing pressure discomfort. We recorded α wave activity in 5 functional regions (30 channels) of the brain in 10 females with or without a girdle. We determined that α wave power spectrum significantly increases when the girdle is worn compared to when it is not worn, specifically in the parietal and occipital regions. These findings suggest that clothing pressure exerted by wearing a girdle mostly stimulates the parietal and occipital regions and that these regions should be investigated in future studies using α wave energy to measure clothing pressure discomfort.

“…Clothing pressure is a very important research field in the domain of clothing engineering at present (Yim and Hong, 2017; Dan et al , 2016; Liu and Chen, 2016), and proper pressure is the premise to ensure the coexistence of clothing comfort and function for functional pressure garment (Mohamed et al , 2017; Luo et al , 2016). Many scholars tried to study the relationship between clothing pressure, garment function, and body comfort through a variety of ways for many years.…”

Purpose The area shrinkage of the body under pressure is very important to evaluate the comfort of pressure sense, and it is an important index that appraises compression garment. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the area shrinkage mass of the waist cross section by using the finite-element method (FEM), and the waist of women’s pantyhose could be designed with a different degree of elasticity during the course of design based on clothing pressure comfort. Design/methodology/approach This study aimed at the problems existing in the wearing of women’s elastic pantyhose, took the waist of pantyhose as the research object, and the contact between human body and pantyhose as elastic contact. The finite-element model of the waist cross section and elastic pantyhose fabric was acquired through CT scan and Mimics software. After simulating on the corresponding displacement distribution of the waist of sample elastic pantyhose during the process of dressing by using ANSYS, the authors divided the waist cross section into 24 equal regions according to angle (every 15 degrees as a region), and then the area shrinkage mass of each region was obtained by area calculation formula. According to the tendency of area shrinkage distribution, the waist of women’s elastic pantyhose could be designed for different regions of tension considering the pressure comfort, so as to guarantee that the wearing comfort can be maintained on the premise of ensuring the functionality of the elastic pantyhose. Findings In this paper, the authors obtained the area shrinkage mass of elastic pantyhose at waist cross section, and this area shrinkage distribution could be used as an objective evaluation index for pressure comfort. All these solutions are of great significance to the optimization design of pantyhose and can provide theoretical basis for the structural improvement of functional pantyhose and the prediction of clothing pressure. Originality/value This paper simulated the area shrinkage mass for the waist of elastic pantyhose by using FEM, and the waist of women’s elastic pantyhose could be designed for different regions of tension considering the pressure comfort according to the area shrinkage distribution tendency, so as to guarantee the wearing comfort during the wearing process.
