INNER WEAR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inner wear having extremely high massage effect, great effect of promoting circulation of blood in all the directions, and great heat reserving effect. SOLUTION: This inner wear made of a knitted fabric is so designed that a massage area (A) formed with ridges projecting to the inside is set in the inner side thereof. The ridges substantially extend to the course direction of the knitted fabric, and many of two first wave ridges 11 and 12 adjacent to each other in parallel with the same wavelength and two second wave ridges 21 and 22 adjacent to each other in parallel slipping by half wavelength from the first wave ridges are alternately formed. The wave top of one side 12 of the first wave ridge and the wave valley of one side 22 of the second wave ridge come in contact or are close to each other, the wave valley of the other side 11 of the first wave ridge and the wave top of the other side 21 of the second wave ridge come in contact or are close to each other, and recessed parts 30 surrounded with the first and second wave ridges coming in contact or close to each other are formed inside the inner wear.
