Protective Garment with Separate but Affixed layer

Abstract

A protective garment consisting of an exterior clothing garment not limited in style (pants, shorts, romper, knickers, overalls, etc.) with a separate but affixed inner barrier garment layer designed to protect a child's or adult's clothing and environment from an accidental urination or bowel movement. It aids in the training of a child or adult using a waterproof garment allowing the sensation of the child or adult wetting themselves to heighten awareness of the accident while preventing the wetness from penetrating the barrier layer and keeping the exterior of protective garment dry by trapping the excrement until removed. The function is designed to promote faster orientation to using the proper facilities when excreting bodily waste while protecting the clothing and environment of the user from said waste.
