Abstract To find out the distribution of pressure on brassiere’s under wires,two tests of under wires were done using AMI-3037 Air-pack type contact surface pressure measuring system. The brassieres used were commercial brassieres. In test 1 (T1), three different styles of brassieres are all 75A in size and each piece is tested by the same subject (S1). In test 2 (T2), a brassiere of 75A size is tested by three different subjects (S1, S2, S3). Three subjects are healthy unmarried women of age group 22 to 26 years. Seven points were measured in T1. Four points were measured when the subject made four different poses in T2. The results indicate: 1) There are three different pressure distributions in T1; 2) The pressure values are affected significantly at different points, brassieres, the interaction of points and brassiere, the interaction of points and subjects; 3) Most pressures of center front are larger and most pressures of the lowest point are small at the under wires; 4) The pressure values change while breathing. The range of most pressure values is between 0 and 0.5kPa except few ranging from 0.5 kPa to 1.5 kPa. 5) The shape of under wires is an important factor in healthcare of women.
