Description for Venus Belt
Application # 3156949 freiree
Inventor: Adrian James
Zi?eolk.
The Venus Belt is a piece of athletic (martial arts) equipment designed to
protect female
reproductive anatomy. This garment is made with vinyl fabric, covering layers
of foam to
give absorption from direct impact below the waistline. Elastic harness and
large velcro
closure secure the belt, for maximum comfort and adjustment free sizing
capabilities.
This innovative piece of equipment has been designed not only to protect but
to
reduce permanent damage.
Females have been struggling with the selection of pelvic protection for many
years, as
the only belts available have been designed for male anatomy. Thus, leading
female
athletes to be uncomfortable and restricted in their full potential of
movements. With the
Venus Belt's light weight and specific attention to design contouring details,
it gives the
athlete protection while moving without restrictions.
