SEAMLESS DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT GARMENT
A substantially cylindrical, or tubular, garment structure can be provided using a three-dimensional or circular knitting machine, using a mold, or using an additive manufacturing process. A unit segment of the garment structure can include two waistband regions at opposite end faces of the cylindrical garment structure, and each of the waistband regions can correspond to a different one of two nested articles. Each of the two nested articles can be converted into a separate and distinct brief-style absorbent underwear assembly. In an example, a waistband region and body panel region of an absorbent underwear product can be formed using the same knitted material in a continuous, three-dimensional knitting process.
Floating darts for shapewear
Shapewear enhances the appearance of areas of a wearer's body, including the abdominal region. Typical shapewear that targets the abdominal area is often uncomfortable, because it uses methods to provide additional control to the area that also decrease the flexibility of the fabric. The shapewear garment disclosed herein includes a region configured to cover the abdominal region of a wearer. The abdominal region of the shapewear garment includes at least one dart provided in the fabric. The fabric of the shapewear garment is a high-elasticity fabric containing from about 20% to about 60% elastane. The darts in the abdominal region increase the control in the targeted abdominal area without significantly decreasing the flexibility and comfort of the high-elasticity fabric.
THERMAL TREATMENT UNDERGARMENT
A thermal treatment undergarment retains a thermal treatment pack in position over a locus of pain or injury. The thermal treatment undergarment includes a first elastic layer, such as a brief, that may be worn. A thermal pouch is defined on the undergarment, such as by a joining seam of a second elastic layer, which may also be formed as a brief. A joining seam around the leg openings and the lateral sides provides an abdominal pocket and a back pocket. Likewise, a joining seam about the leg openings and each of an anterior and posterior portion of the brief, defines a lateral side pocket, for treatment of the hip pain or injury.
