The present invention relates to lingerie. In particular, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to the wearing of crystals close to the human body for the development of spiritual and physical well being. For thousands of years both men and women have sought to adorn themselves with jewellery, typically taking the form of rings, necklaces, ear-rings and ear studs. Stones and crystals, in particular, have been worn about the neck, using string, braiding, leather thongs and the like to retain the stone or crystal. It has been believed by some that one's well-being can be improved or maintained by the appropriate wearing of stones or crystals about one's body. Typically, crystals are conveniently kept about a person, for example, worn on the body, in jewellery or in either a pocket or a medicine pouch. Methods of maintaining a crystal about ones person have included the placement of crystals within pouches; these pouches can include a single crystal or provide a "medicine mix" in a pouch. Whilst some may be decorative and versatile, they do not provide intimate/adjacent positioning nor can be specifically positioned, along a particular bone, adjacent an organ or along/about a sensory part or blood vessel. In accordance with a first aspect of the invention, there is provided an item of lingerie, wherein there are several pockets arranged about the garment, the pockets having an elasticated opening; wherein, in a relaxed state, the width of the opening is less than the largest cross-section of a crystal to be placed therein. Crystal pockets can thus be placed within a lingerie garment for the safe, discreet and comfortable support of crystals used for their therapeutic properties. |
