The influence of the pressure intensity and the width of the belt on compressive feeling and sensitivity of the abdomen was clarified. Eleven female students were employed as subjects. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Wide belts caused a higher compressive feeling than narrow ones. 2. The compressive feeling depended on clothing pressure at sites far above and below the waist. 3. We defined an apparent differential threshold dR as the difference in pressure intensity that can be felt in units of one score. The dR at each width of belt was clarified. The compressive sensitivity was higher when the belt's width is wider, and this tendency was especially remarkable in a range of width from 3 cm to 10 cm. 4. It was found that subjects with thinner waist dimensions tended to have higher compressive sensitivity.
