An improved method of preparing molded seamless breast pads, cups, fronts and the like for use in brassieres and other garments is described. Polyurethane foam sheet, which still contains free isocyanates in its urethane matrix, is sliced from a freshly made foam bun, and placed between the mold parts. The mold parts are then closed by a hydraulic press. Steam is injected through holes in one mold part, and flows throughout the compressed polyurethane foam. Exhaust steam is emitted from holes in the other mold part. Moisture and heat from the steam then accelerate reactions with the free isocyanates and further cure the polyurethane foam material. The polyurethane foam material is therefore molded into the shape of mold parts cavity.
