The present invention is related to a pair of underpants for patients with bedsores. The underpants include an underpants body and a patch. The underpants body includes a front half portion, a rear half portion opposite to the front half portion, and a crotch portion corresponding to the genital of the patient with bedsores and connected to the front half portion and the rear half portion to form a lumbar opening and two leg openings. The patch includes a fabric layer, an absorbent layer and a waterproof layer. The absorbent layer attaches to the fabric layer, while the waterproof layer attaches to the absorbent layer. The waterproof layer is adapted to attach to an inside surface of the underpants body so that the fabric layer may contact with the bedsore parts of the patient and thus absorb the moisture of the bedsores.

A disposable article infused with an insect repellant and method of making the same. The disposable article includes an outer, water absorbent layer, an inner, waterproof layer and an insect repellant applied to the outer layer. The disposable article can be fabric gowns, shoe-covers, leg coverings, hand coverings, arm coverings, head coverings, body coverings, face coverings, full body coverings and chuck pads. In certain embodiments, the outer, water absorbent layer is spun-bonded polypropylene. In other embodiments, the outer, water absorbent layer is spun-bonded polyester. The inner, waterproof layer can be cast polyethylene. The insect repellant can include an effective amount of DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide), OLE (oil of lemon eucalyptus) and essential oils alone or in combination.

Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are directed to articles of clothing that allow for monitoring of different analytes (e.g., electrolytes and molecules) in human sweat during fitness activity, while training, or simply in everyday life. The clothing includes a sensor system completely integrated in textile such that every sensing part is made of textile fibers. The clothing is able to control, collect, analyze, and expel the sweat over time. The textile sensor allows a spontaneous absorption of body sweat directly from the skin, while it is produced, using the hydrophilic natural properties of the textile. Then, once adsorbed, the flux of sweat is controlled and guided through the textile using a gradient of the textile's hydrophilic properties. The sweat guided through the textile is analyzed through an electrochemical sensor woven into the textile. Finally, the sweat is collected in a reservoir and expelled for evaporation.

A menstrual sanitary towel which, applicable for use during the days of menstruation, is worn to absorb possible losses without becoming detached while the user dries herself on leaving the shower or bathtub, manufactured from towelling fabric or similar (2) and made as an item of clothing in the form of panties; at the internal part thereof, at least at the central portion that is in contact with the private parts of the user when she wears it, it incorporates one or more inserts of absorbent fabric (3). The absorbent insert fabric (3) may be formed by one or more layers of absorbent fabrics. The menstrual sanitary towel may include a loop (4) for hanging the same.

A loose-leaf glove is provided, including a dorsum top layer and a palm inner layer. The periphery of the dorsum top layer is combined with the periphery of the palm inner layer, and the palm inner layer is formed by plural palm inner surfaces. The peripheries of the plural palm inner surfaces are overlapped and combined. A tear line is imprinted at a place where the periphery of the dorsum top layer is combined with the periphery of the palm inner layer. Each palm inner surface can escape from the dorsum top layer by tearing the tear line apart. The separated palm inner surface is discarded, and a next palm inner surface is used instead.

An article of apparel is disclosed that includes zones with a textile having a structure than changes or is otherwise modified by a physical stimulus, such as the presence of water or a temperature change, to modify a property of the textile. The zones may be along a center back area and/or side areas of the apparel, and the textile may increase in air permeability when exposed to water. In some embodiments, slits are formed in the textile.
