A modular clothing assembly for performing actions without removing one's pants includes trousers that are configured to couple to a user. The trousers cover a portion of a body of the user from a waist to proximate to ankles of the user. An opening is positioned in the trousers. The opening is configured to allow the user to perform actions, such as urinating, defecating and personal hygiene maneuvers, whilst the trousers are coupled to the user. A first panel, which is complementary to the opening, is coupled to the trousers proximate to a second end of the opening. The first panel also is reversibly couplable to the trousers to selectively close the opening.

Some shapewear and other similar undergarments are equipped with an open gusset, which provides an opening at the crotch region to allow the wearer to use the restroom without removing any garments. A typical double gusset construction requires two hands to pull apart both layers in order to use the restroom, which can make using the restroom more difficult for the wearer. The stretchable gusset disclosed herein addresses the limitations of existing gusset constructions. The gusset panel is fixedly or seamlessly attached to the front body panel and fixedly or seamlessly attached to the back body panel. An access space is formed by leaving at least a portion of a lateral gusset panel edge unattached to any other portion of the garment. The access space can be widened with one hand due to the highly stretchable characteristics of the gusset panel.

A waste release garment that facilitates release of body waste by opening the junction between a front and rear panel at the lower edges of the underwear to expose a wearer's groin, buttock channel, and scrotum, so as to enable bladder and bowel relief without having to entirely disrobe the underwear, and also provides a front panel that externally stores a waste discharge tube emanating from inside the body. A front panel and a rear panel join at side edges to from an undergarment having a hip opening and a pair of leg receiving openings. A bottom edge for each panel comprises a plurality of fasteners that fasten and disengage to open for enabling relief of bowels and bladder. Front panel forms an aperture that enables passage of waste discharge tube portion. External end of waste discharge tube stores in an elongated pocket in front panel.

In one representative embodiment, a compression garment can comprise a front portion, a rear portion, first and second side portions, wherein the first and the second side portions each have first and second end portions, a lower pelvic portion extending from the rear portion to the front portion, wherein the lower pelvic portion is releasably connected to the front portion, and a plurality of flexible support members coupled to the first and the second side portions, wherein each of the flexible support members is configured to at least substantially extend from the first end to the second end of one of the first and the second side portions.

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.
