Intimate apparel products are worn under the outer apparel and are generally segmented into upper innerwear, lower innerwear, sleepwear and loungewear, thermal wear, and others. Although these products may comprise more than a single layer, they are usually in direct contact with the skin. They help in shaping the body, providing concealment or support for some body parts, keeping the outer apparel from being soiled or damaged by bodily excretions, and lessening the friction of the outer apparel against the skin.
