Benefits of technology

[0014] A crotch panel in both the reusable and disposable embodiments is formed of non- absorbent materials, such as, for example, Telfa® pad materials. The panel may also include a protective layer furthest from the skin to prevent staining. These non-absorbent panels allow the user of the undergarment to safely apply vaginal lotions, medicaments and the like, as necessary without loss of lotions that otherwise would have been absorbed by surrounding materials, or embarrassing stains. In the reusable embodiment, the non-absorbent panel may be securely inserted into fasteners, loops, with tapes and the like to maintain its place.
[0015] In one embodiment, a disposable undergarment may be conveniently pre-packaged to include vaginal lotions and the like, to treat or avoid vaginal irritation or dryness. Women of any age experience chaffing, or abrasion as a result underwear, thongs, panty hose, tight clothing and irritation from sanitary pads. The adjustable undergarment having a non-absorbent panel would provide the benefit of lubricants as needed, and allow sooth discomfort in hemorrhoidal tissues as well.
