В мае 1949 года Чарльз Л Лэнгс (Charles L Langs) показал пару чашечек бюстгальтера, которые женщина могла прикрепить к груди с помощью клея, который не причинял боли и не оставлял липких следов при удалении.
Цель изобретения его новых бюстгальтеров, названных Posеs (произносится как "поз-иииз" (от pose-ease), состояла в том, чтобы позволить загорающей достичь ровного загара. Эта идея пришла в голову изобретателю Чарльзу Л. Лэнгсу, когда он увидел, как его жена Мэри недовольно теребит лямки своего обычного старого купальника.
