Girls' modesty garments

Abstract

A young girl's modesty garment substantially covering a wearer's pelvic region and a relatively short length of the wearer's upper thighs, may include a fitted panty portion including a main panty body partially bounded by a left leg opening and a right leg opening, and a crotch portion disposed at a lower vertical edge of the main panty body and laterally centered between the left and right leg openings. The modesty garment further comprises right and left fitted leg bodies permanently affixed to and contiguous with the panty portion at a seam disposed at the right and left leg openings, respectively. The right and left leg bodies extend downward from the right and left leg openings respectively. The right and left leg bodies each have a lower end disposed below the crotch portion, such that the right and left fitted leg bodies at least partially cover the upper thighs of a user when worn.

Problems solved by technology

Often times, due to their young age they have a complete lack of modesty.

This can attract unwanted attention and is, otherwise, an undesirable state for parents.

As a result, many parents are hesitant to allow their young daughters to wear skirts or dresses.

Parents may also choose to allow their young daughters to wear skirts, but require their daughters to wear shorts or leggings over the underwear and underneath the skirt; however, this solution provides many drawbacks.

The shorts or leggings may not be aesthetically pleasing because they may not match the skirt; the leggings may be longer than the skirt and therefore may need to be rolled up or otherwise be exposed during normal use; the shorts or leggings may be uncomfortable, cumbersome, or too hot for the child to wear in addition to conventional underwear; and there are additional costs associated with purchasing shorts and leggings for that purpose.

However, due primarily to the fact that these are generally designed for adults and / or designed for a different use (e.g., exercising / sports activity, combination pantyhose carrying undergarment), they are not designed or structured to be comfortably worn by young girls as underwear on a day-to-day basis.

For example, stockings and many alternative undergarments have uncomfortable seams that extend up the center of the garment, including the crotch area, and are made of elastic material that tends to pull the garments down and away from the crotch area during use, also known as “riding down.” Moreover, these types of garments are not made of breathable materials, rendering them uncomfortable.

As another example, fabrics and designs chosen for athletic undergarments are highly specialized to meet the specific needs of an athletic wearer; such highly specialized fabrics and designs are often not desirable or appropriate for everyday use by a child.

These highly specialized design features for athletic undergarments, are however, uncomfortable and not desirable nor appropriate for young children.

Accordingly, body shaping undergarments also suffer from the same heat and comfort related drawbacks.
