FIG. 1( a) is a front view of a brief for pregnant woman according to a first embodiment. A brief for pregnant woman according to the first embodiment comprises afront 10, a rear 20, acrotch portion 30, anupper coupling member 110, and alower coupling member 120. - The
upper coupling member 110 is positioned adjacent to thetop line 12 of an upper portion of thefront 10 of the brief. In the first embodiment, theupper coupling member 110 is attached to a center portion of thetop line 12 of thefront 10. In the first embodiment, theupper coupling member 110 comprises a loop and is denoted as theloop 110 for convenience. Theloop 110 can be various forms and made of various materials. For example, theloop 110 can be a form of strap and thread, fabric, piping, band, plastic, metal, or decorative ring can be utilized. Elastic material can also be utilized. - The
lower coupling member 120 is positioned in a lower portion of the front 10 to correspond to theloop 110. In the first embodiment, thelower coupling member 120 comprises a button and is denoted as thebutton 120 for convenience. In the first embodiment, the term “correspond to” means that thebutton 120 is positioned to couple to theloop 110 together as a pair and a vertically lower location below theloop 110 is desirable for the corresponding position. This interpretation of the term applies to other embodiments. - The
button 120 is positioned to correspond to theloop 110 and two buttons may be positioned in a vertical direction. According to the size of the abdomen of pregnant woman, one of thebuttons 120 is selected and coupled to theloop 110 so that the height of thetop line 12 of the front 10 can be adjusted appropriately. In the first embodiment, two buttons are used, but one button or three buttons may be used. Furthermore, a button and a loop may be used as the upper coupling member and the lower coupling member, respectively. - When the
button 120 is coupled to theloop 110, as illustrated inFIG. 1( b), thetop line 12 of the front 10 becomes a newtop line 12 a, lowering thetop line 12 of the front 10. This helps alleviate the pressing on the abdomen of pregnant woman and make the pregnant woman comfortable. Furthermore, the manufacturing efficiency is increased and the manufacturing cost is reduced by adjusting the position of thetop line 12 of the front 10 easily using a simple configuration like the embodiment. -
FIG. 2( a) is a front view of a brief for pregnant woman according to a second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the brief for pregnant woman includes a front 10, a rear 20, and acrotch portion 30 as in the first embodiment. - In the second embodiment, the
upper coupling member 210 comprises loops, and is denoted as theloops 210 for convenience.

Each of the twoloops 210 is positioned in a left portion and in a right portion which are located from the center of thetop line 12 of the front 10 by a predetermined length, respectively. Theloops 210 can be various forms and made of various materials. For example, theloops 210 can be a form of strap and thread, fabric, piping, band, plastic, metal, or decorative ring can be utilized. Elastic material can also be utilized. - The
lower coupling member 220 is positioned in a lower portion of the front 10 to correspond to theloops 210. In the second embodiment, thelower coupling member 220 comprises buttons and is denoted as thebuttons 220 for convenience. Thebuttons 220 are positioned to correspond to theloops 210 and two buttons are positioned in a vertical direction for each loop. According to the size of the abdomen of pregnant woman, one of thebuttons 220 is selected and coupled to theloops 210 so that the position of thetop line 12 of the front 10 can be adjusted appropriately. In the second embodiment, two buttons are used for each loop, but one button or three buttons may be used. Furthermore, a button and a loop may be used as the upper coupling member and the lower coupling member, respectively. - When the
buttons 220 are coupled to theloop 210, as illustrated inFIG. 2( b), thetop line 12 of the front 10 becomes a newtop line 12 a, lowering thetop line 12 of the front 10. This helps alleviate the pressing on the abdomen of pregnant woman and make the pregnant woman comfortable. Furthermore, even a pregnant woman who has a big build and abdomen can avoid the pressing on the abdomen effectively, since the left portion and the right portion of thetop line 12 of the front 10 are lowered to a lower part of the front. - In the second embodiment, it is illustrated that one
loop 210 is positioned in the left portion of the top line and theother loop 210 is positioned in the right portion of the top line. However, two ormore loops 210 may be positioned in each left and right portion along thetop line 12 of the front 10. - In the first and second embodiment described above, the upper coupling member comprises loops and the lower coupling member comprises buttons.
