A male undergarment that holds an absorbent pad has a waistband and first and second pant portions and a centered hole. A trapezoidal flap is placed over a front panel where the first and second sides of the trapezoidal flap are sewn into the garment, such that the sewn portion of the trapezoidal flap covers the hole. The unattached first and second sides of the trapezoidal flap are releasably secured to the garment via complimentary snaps and snap holders, such that when the snaps are engaged to the snap holders a pouch is formed by the trapezoidal flap and the garment.

Panty underwear includes a removable pouch disposed above the crotch panel and between the leg openings. The pouch has a top opening opposite the wearer's vaginal opening, so that vaginal discharge flows to a sanitary napkin between the bottom of the pouch and the crotch panel. The pouch provides cooling to the wearer's labia and, in some embodiments, to her perineal area. The cooling is provided by either a single generally rectangular cooling pack with a central opening, or two cooling packs each being rectangular or J-shaped. The sanitary napkin can be internal or external to the pouch. Some embodiments of the underwear are intended for single use. Other embodiments of the underwear are intended to be re-usable, in that the sanitary napkin can be replaced and/or the cooling pack(s) can be re-used. The cooling pack(s) can be sealed with one-time or reusable thermal material therein, or they can be resealable with replaceable thermal material.

Disclosed is material saving clothing including a repeatedly usable general-purpose holding and looping member for replacement with a full-pad type or a partial-pad type absorbent article and an absorbent article. The holding and looping member has a rear waist portion that is provided with a rear opening and a rear clamp section and a front portion that is provided with a front opening and a front clamping section. The front portion is provided, on a lower portion of each of left and right sides thereof, with a side clamp section and anti-skidding glue. The absorbent article is provided, above a rear end thereof, with left and right rear pulling sections positionable into a rear opening and clamped (from opposite sides) by a rear clamp section and a front clamping section provided above a front end to be pulled through a front opening for clamping by a front clamping section.

This invention is directed to a sanitary product attachment means comprising a connection member (3) having a flexible base carrier (4), whereas on one main surface of the connection member (3) an underwear connection means (5) is present which is configured to fix the connection member (3) to a piece of underwear (12) and on the opposing main surface of the connection member (3) an absorbent member connection means (6) is present which is configured to fix the connection member (3) to the underside of an absorbent member (2, 2a).

Disclosed herein is a liquid absorbing pad for use in clothing, comprising: a liquid permeable layer; a functional layer over the liquid impermeable layer; and a liquid impermeable barrier material, wherein the functional layer is capable of acquiring and distributing liquid and/or absorbing liquid and the liquid impermeable barrier material is bonded to at least the liquid impermeable layer and the functional layer around the periphery of said layers by a bonding means, provided that the bonding means is not stitching. The liquid absorbable pad may form part of a garment.

The present disclosure generally relates to an absorbent pad for use in a garment. The absorbent pad includes: a liquid impermeable barrier layer; a functional layer attached to the barrier layer, the functional layer comprising a liquid absorbent component; a liquid impermeable peripheral sealing element bonded to peripheries of the functional layer and barrier layer; and a peripheral attaching element having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion bonded to the peripheral sealing element. The second portion of the peripheral attaching element is detached from the peripheral sealing element and is arranged to be attached to a fabric body of the garment, thereby attaching the absorbent pad to the garment.

An incontinence guard, or diaper, is provided which comprises a girdle portion and a waste containment portion. The girdle comprises at least one flap having means to releasably secure itself to an outward-facing side of the waste containment portion and is moreover elastic so as to forcibly secure the waste containment portion around a wearer's waist. In use, a soiled waste containment portion may simply be detached from the girdle and replaced with a clean waste containment portion while the girdle remains secured around the wearer's waist. Alternatively, only a portion of the waste containment portion may be detatched from the girdle to permit changing of the soiled absorbent layer alone. This avoids a need to place the wearer in a lying position, or otherwise require the wearer to meaningfully cooperate, such as by responsively articulating from his hips and knees, when a caregiver undertakes to replace soiled incontinence guards.
