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.

Underwear or undergarment, particularly for a female wearer. A seamless knitted-yarn tubular blank is produced and is rotated; a front-side partial-cut is introduced, and a rear-side partial-cut is introduced; thereby forming two leg openings and one waist opening. Optionally, an elastic-free lace band is seamlessly glued or bonded or attached to the region that borders the waist opening. The underwear can be manufactured from a single, seamless, tubular knitted-yarn blank, without leaving or removing or discarding any fabric residues.
