The embarrassment of passing gas in public is ubiquitous. One solution is to wear a filter underwear that is generally constructed with a single ply of underwear side panels that are separated by an activated carbon center panel. The activated carbon center panel is attached to an elastic waistband at the underwear back and where the activated carbon center panel traverses between two leg openings to the waistband at the underwear front. The center panel is constructed with a five-ply activated carbon fabric that is sandwiched between cotton fabric, which is sandwiched between bamboo fabric. The five-ply center panel is greater than 1 mm thick to provide filtering capabilities to sufficiently reduce the odor of flatulence to an acceptable level that is not readily detected by a person close by.

Free cut edges on undergarments help to minimize the appearance of visible panty lines. However, typical free cut undergarments are flat and do not conform to the shape of the body. The undergarment disclosed herein has free cut edges and a gusset panel that addresses the limitations of existing free cut undergarments. The gusset panel is gathered along its left and right edges using elastic thread or elastic bands. The gathering provides elasticity and shape to the gusset panel, and limits the extent to which the gusset panel slides and becomes displaced on the wearer.

A garment or article of clothing made of a resilient/elastomeric material includes at least a waist portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The waist portion further includes a pocket on the rear of the garment, where the pocket is defined by a backing panel, a first flap, and a second flap. The first flap is at least partially disposed over the second flap to secure contents between the backing panel and the second panel, and thus, within the pocket. When the waist portion is stretched, the tensile forces imparted onto the waist portion by the resilient/elastomeric material causes the first flap to at least partially overlie the second flap. The pocket is sized and shaped to receive smartphones and other small personal items, such as keys, money, credit cards, identifications, etc.

A garment comprises a main body including a front portion, a back portion, and a gusset connecting the front portion and the back portion. The gusset has left and right lateral edges partially defining respective left and right leg openings of the garment. A layer of absorbent material is coupled to an inner face of the main body at least at the gusset. A layer of waterproof material is sandwiched between the main body and the layer of absorbent material. Left and right elastic bands couple the layer of absorbent material and the layer of waterproof material to the main body along the respective left and right lateral edges of the gusset. A method for manufacturing the absorbent garment is also provided.

A detachable panel underwear system is disclosed. The detachable panel underwear system includes a fabric undergarment including three outer edges, the three outer edges including a first waist outer edge, a first leg outer edge and a second leg outer edge and a central gusset. The system further includes a detachable gusset pad in which the central gusset is located between the first leg outer edge and the second leg outer edge and the detachable gusset pad is disposed to attach over the central gusset.

A garment that includes a waistband, a first strap, and a second strap. The waistband has a front portion opposite a back portion. Each of the first and second straps extends from the front portion to the back portion. The first strap is configured to cross the second strap at a crossover location alongside a selected anatomical region. The first and second straps are configured to apply pressure to the selected anatomical region.

The waist portion further includes a pocket on the rear of the garment, where the pocket is defined by a backing panel, a first flap, and a second flap. The first flap is at least partially disposed over the second flap to secure contents between the backing panel and the second panel, and thus, within the pocket. When the waist portion is stretched, the tensile forces imparted onto the waist portion by the resilient/elastomeric material causes the first flap to at least partially overlie the second flap.

Embodiments are utilized to provide a pelvic floor muscle supporting aid that not only supports the pelvic floor muscles but also is effective for preventing a pelvic organ prolapse. An annular part provided so as to be situated at a position corresponding to an outer peripheral portion of the vaginal opening is pulled by a pulling part, so that an interval between left and right side portions situated on the left and right of the vaginal opening is narrowed. Consequently, not only force to press up the pelvic floor muscles from under is applied but also the vaginal opening is narrowed. Consequently, the pelvic organs do not easily slip out. Therefore, it is possible to prevent urinary incontinence and the like by supporting the pelvic floor muscles and at the same time prevent a pelvic organ prolapse.

A double layer garment including a first inner layer, worn next to the skin, that is at least in part made of a natural fiber (e.g., cotton) and a second outer layer that is made of a synthetic fiber (e.g., spandex). The natural fiber inner layer and the synthetic fiber outer layer are seamlessly knitted together without seams to form the two layers.

A garment is provided from two separate modular, substantially mirror-imaged portions, such that the torso section of a wearer may be selectively exposed, front or back, by grasping an exposed edge of an out one of the modular portions, pulling that edge to access and edge of the other modular portion, which is then pulled in the opposite direction to expose a portion of either the wearer's lower torso or buttocks region.
