Abstract:

In order to investigate the pressure sensation and comfort range of female's body parts, the garment pressure comfort threshold was tested and calculated according to psychophysical limit-step method. In the experiment, 50 female’s college students were employed in sensory tests and pressure measurements of 9 body parts, and a novel stretchable compressive belt with double buckles was developed to continuously adjust belt and control the pressure with isometric and stable change.  Finally, the comfort thresholds at 9 separate body parts were investigated. The maximal comfort threshold is 2 753 Pa in lateral abdomen, middle shoulder and scapula tend to rank next in comfort threshold values of 1 671 Pa and 1 633 Pa, respectively, followed by the armpit, where waistline and scaprlar line cross, abdomen, and lateral empire line of 1 305, 1 284, 1 260, 1 156 Pa, respectively. The minimal values in comfort threshold tend to be anterior center of waistline and underbust of 955 Pa and 937 Pa, respectively.
