Garment liner

Abstract

Special articles are fashioned as undergarments of a very brief nature. Brevity in undergarments has advantages of comfort and ease of use, improved cooperation with outerwear, among other. Thin sheets are prepared and arranged to be applied to the crotch area of the interior surface of pants or other similar garments via an adhesive bonding agent. So applied, the article provides underwear function without bunching, chafing, or forming visible panty lines. An absorbent layer provides comfort to the user and protection to the outer garment against soiling. These articles may be formed of materials suitable for disposal after single use and they may be arranged as a kit suitable for retail sale.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONS[0001] 1. Field[0002] The following invention disclosure is generally concerned with articles of clothing and articles used in conjunction with clothing and specifically concerned with liner articles which may be used instead of underwear.[0003] 2. Prior Art[0004] It is essential for good hygiene that one wear underwear beneath ones outer clothing. Not only does underwear protect outer clothing from being soiled from the inside, it also protects a wearer from chaffing from the outer clothing. However, underwear is sometimes an inconvenience. It tends to annoy wearers as it is restrictive, tends to bunch and bind, may cause one to become hot, and is accompanied by other adverse side effects. Ladies clothing which is sometimes form fitting particularly presents issues with underwear use. More specifically, underwear may cause panty lines which become visible through outer clothing. Recently, `thong` type underwear has become quite popular as it reduces pant...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017] A substrate of cloth material forms a special layer which is applied to an interior surface of an outer garment such as tight fitting pants. Properly applied, the article forms to the complex curved shape of the pants interior while providing an undergarment function; i.e. affording a protective layer between a person and her clothing. The article prevents the pants from being soiled allowing them to stay fresh and clean while also providing chaffing protection to sensitive flesh.

[0019] In addition, these pant liner articles have two sides. A first side has adhesive applied thereto which holds and couples the article to the pants interior when properly applied. A second side is a soft absorbent material appropriate for contact with flesh. The second side provides comfort and cleanliness functionality.

[0024] It is an object of these inventions to provide protections of underwear without discomfort associated therewith.

Problems solved by technology

However, underwear is sometimes an inconvenience.

It tends to annoy wearers as it is restrictive, tends to bunch and bind, may cause one to become hot, and is accompanied by other adverse side effects.

Ladies clothing which is sometimes form fitting particularly presents issues with underwear use.

More specifically, underwear may cause panty lines which become visible through outer clothing.

However, thong type underwear may be uncomfortable to wear.

Wearing no underwear at all is undesirable for the reason that it leaves outer garments exposed to undesirable soiling and further leaves sensitive flesh exposed to the discomfort of contact with rough materials from which outer garments may be made.

As such, they are generally thick and bulky and therefore not suitably worn in conjunction with certain outer wear such as tight fitting pants.

Consequently, they are quite thick and bulky and they consume a significant volume which cannot be hidden in tight fitting clothes; i.e. they must be worn with loose fitting outer wear.

However, these liners are permanently affixed to the suit and they are not disposable.

They typically have reinforced peripheries which tend to be bulky and cause creases and visible lines.
