A user worn gastronomy tube retaining device for reducing inadvertent pulling of a gastronomy tube includes a first panel, which is resiliently flexible and removably securable around an abdomen of a user so that the first panel encircles the abdomen with an inner surface of the first panel in contact with the abdomen. A plurality of connectors is attached to an outer surface of the first panel, with each connector being selectively connectable to a gastronomy tube so that the gastronomy tube is attached to the first 10 panel. The connector thus retains the gastronomy tube in a substantially static position relative to the abdomen and resists a pulling force that might be inadvertently applied to the gastronomy tube.

A wearable article includes a front and back elastic belts, a crotch region, a waist opening, and leg openings. Each elastic belt is a laminate having an inner sheet, an outer sheet, and an elastic member. Elastic adhesive bonding continuously bonds the elastic member for at least about 10 mm in the direction of stretch adjacent the side edges of the belts. A discrete patterned adhesive bonding is applied to at least one of the inner and outer sheets to intermittently bond the inner and outer sheets. The discrete patterned adhesive bonding extends substantially along the transverse direction between the elastic adhesive bonding, and substantially along the longitudinal direction between the distal and proximal edges of the elastic belts. The same adhesive agent provides the elastic adhesive and discrete patterned adhesive bonding. Heat bonds form side seams, and the remainder of the laminate is free of heat bonds.

In an embodiment, a pair of undershorts is provided. The undershorts includes a pair of leg portions, at least one seam and at least one fastening means. The at least one seam is formed on at least one leg portion of the pair of leg portions for taking off the pair of undershorts from legs of a user wearing the pair of undershorts. The seam is configured to run through length of the pair of undershorts from a waist end to a leg end. The fastening means is configured to separate or bond separations along the at least one seam. When the pair of undershorts is worn under a pair of outer shorts, the seam is configured to be separated by the user to take off the pair of undershorts from at least one leg opening of the pair of outer shorts without taking off the pair of outer shorts.

An assembly is disclosed, the assembly for providing release structure to a lanyard or strap adapted to be worn on the body, such as a neck strap. The release structure consists of a snap button assembly configured such that the release pull generated by tension in the strap is directed along an axis perpendicular to the closure and rotation plane of the male and female portion of the snap button assemblies. With structure to configure a release pull in such an axis, a safety feature is provided to the wearer such that tension in the strap, when it reaches a sufficient force to overcome the closure forces of the snap button assembly, will release the closed snap button and allow the strap to fall away from the body. Also, as in the case of a firefighter wearing an SCBA fire mask, it prevents the firefighter from being entangled or tethered if the strap were to get accidentally hooked or caught on something. The breakaway will allow the firefighter to continue using the mask with no interruption of breathing air from the mask. In lanyards and tool holders, those fall away from the body. In the case of a firefighter, the mask does not fall away from the body.

An abdomen wear includes a front cover part (20) formed by cutting a single-layered, and particularly a two-layered knit on bias to cover an abdomen of a body; ends (21) of the front cover part, a seam part (22) of both ends, and left and right button parts (23) to cause the front cover part to come into close contact with the abdomen; a binding part (33) including a detachable part (30) having an elastic ring (32) on which a tie adjusting part (31) is formed, the tie adjusting part being adjustable in a tie; and an upper elastic ring (41) having a button or a snap (29) on an upper-end central portion (40) of the front cover part or a seam part (40a) of the upper-end central portion.

A lingerie comprises an upper panel, a lower panel, and a signal-activated fastener. The upper panel is generally oriented horizontally and the lower panel is generally oriented vertically with respect to a wearer's body. The upper panel includes a first strap and a second strap and the lower panel includes one or more frontal straps and a back strap. The signal-activated fastener is coupled with one end of the first strap and one end of the second strap, the first ends of the one or more frontal straps are coupled with the upper panel, one end of the back strap is coupled with one the first strap and second strap, and the signal-activated fastener is responsive to a signal and operative to unfasten causing the lingerie to fall off from the wearer's body.

A garment is provided, the garment comprising a base fabric layer having an inner surface and an outer surface, the base fabric layer further having on the inner surface, an absorption region and a non-absorption region. In a particular implementation, the non-absorption region is configured to be in contact with the skin of a wearer of the garment. The garment further includes a moisture prevention insert that includes a moisture resistance layer in contact with the absorption region of the base fabric layer, wherein the moisture resistance layer includes at least two sub layers, each sub layer having a thermoplastic polyurethane coating; a fluid absorption layer configured in contact with the moisture resistance layer; and a mesh layer configured to have one surface thereof in contact with the fluid absorption layer and an opposing surface thereof in contact with the skin of the wearer.
