A leak resistant diaper cover and method of use thereof is described. Embodiments of the leak resistant diaper cover can be manufactured into a unitary piece of silicone that includes a tapered waist and tapered legs. The leak resistant diaper cover can be adapted to be worn over a diaper (or other undergarment) to help ensure that water does not enter into the diaper cover and that nothing exits the diaper cover.

An article of clothing with tools incorporated therein. The article of clothing has a strap assembly that has a strap body with first and second strap ends and at least one tool assembly. The at least one tool assembly is secured within the first and/or second strap ends. The at least one tool assembly is a fin key. The at least one tool assembly has a plate and a shaft. The plate is secured within the strap body while a respective shaft protrudes from a respective first or second aperture. The first and second apertures each have a predetermined size to secure the plate within the strap body while a respective shaft protrudes from the respective first or second ends. The strap assembly is incorporated onto an article of clothing such as a boardshort.

A garment made includes at least a waist portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The waist portion further includes a pocket on the front of the garment, where the pocket is defined by at least the waist portion and a backing panel. The backing panel may be constructed from a resilient material and is reconfigurable between an empty configuration and an expanded configuration. When in the empty configuration, the backing panel may include a plurality of folded panels and may be aligned with the waist portion. When in the expanded configuration, the backing panel may be stretched to extend beyond the waist portion. The backing panel is reconfigured from the empty configuration and the expanded configuration when an object is disposed within the pocket. The pocket is sized and shaped to receive small personal items, such as smartphones, keys, money, credit cards, identification, etc.

A swimsuit for competition swimming is contemplated as being formed with a seamless, continuous external surface across the rear of the lower torso and thigh portions of the swimsuit, and with a network of tension bands disposed interior to the external surface of the swimsuit for storing energy and resisting motion. The swimsuit may optimize the swimmer's swimming motion and posture, and improve the flow of water over and off of the swimsuit during competition.

A swimwear garment configured to be worn by a wearer having buttocks, the swimwear garment comprising an outer rear layer and a rear compression layer. The outer rear layer defines rear portions of two leg openings and extends upwardly toward a waist of the swimwear garment in a manner configured to at least partially cover the buttocks of the wearer. The rear compression layer is coupled to the outer rear layer along an inside surface of the outer rear layer and defines a bottom periphery and opposing side edges. The rear compression layer extends upwardly from the bottom periphery to at least to the waist of the swimwear garment. Each of the opposing side edges of the rear compression layer are sewn to the outer rear layer. The bottom periphery of compression fabric layer is entirely positioned above the at least rear portions of the leg openings.

A bridal wear for use at venues where the bride may desire to get wet, such as the beach or swimming pool, while still maintaining the appearance as the bride, the bridal wear having a water resistant garment 104 and a water resistant bridal wedding train 102 attachable to the garment 104 with an attachment system utilizing a double-pronged hook type attachment device 106 and a heart-shape eye as a corresponding attachment device 108 to connect with the double-pronged hook.

A fastener having an integrated fit adjustment device and secure double-sided seal is offset from the wearer's centerline. The integrated tensioning device can be a paper-thin rigid metal material embedded into the garment on one side of the waistband centerline. A strap is affixed to the garment on the opposite side of the tensioning device, crosses the centerline, and passes through an aperture. The strap reverses back upon itself, pulling against the integrated tensioning device to adjust the fit. The strap's tip has loop material on both sides. Once the strap is pulled against the tensioning device the garment-facing side of the strap is removably affixed to the waistband. Directly approximate to the waistband hook material area is a hinged flexible panel containing hook material on its underside. This panel hinges down, mating the hook material to the exposed loop material on the tip.

The present disclosure generally relates to a garment component for use in a garment. The garment component comprises: a liquid impermeable base layer; a liquid impermeable peripheral layer disposed along a periphery of the liquid impermeable base layer; and a space defined by the liquid impermeable base and peripheral layers. When the garment comprising the garment component is worn on a user, the garment forms a sealing engagement between the liquid impermeable peripheral layer and the user's skin, such that the liquid impermeable base and peripheral layers prevent liquid flow into and out of the space and the space collects bodily fluids from the user.

An article of apparel, which may be a pair of water shorts, may include a stretch woven textile. More particularly, a pelvic region and a pair of leg regions may include the stretch woven textile element. A waistband region may also include the stretch woven textile elements, or may be formed from a variety of other material elements. In order to limit stretch in the waistband region, a variety of waistband elements may be utilized. For example, the waistband elements may be (a) a layered structure with a textile layer and a polymer layer, (b) a layered structure joined with stitching, (c) a layered structure joined with bonds, or (d) a layered structure formed from a folded material element. In order to limit stretch in the waistband region, a tensile component may be utilized.

Aspects herein provide for a pocket structure for an apparel item. The apparel item comprises an outer panel of material, an inner panel of material, a pocket panel, and a double-layer trim piece such as a waistband. A top edge of the outer panel is affixed to an outer layer of the waistband, and a top edge of the inner panel is affixed to an inner layer of the waistband. The pocket panel is positioned between the inner panel and the outer panel, and a top edge of the pocket panel is affixed to the outer layer of the waistband, and a bottom edge of the pocket panel is affixed to the inner panel of material. A pocket space is defined between the pocket panel and the inner panel of material. An opening to the space is formed through the outer layer of the waistband.
