To make it easy for the wearer to put the thong garment 10 on or take it off, each side ends 14, 22 in the waistband belt area has a Velcro fastener 26. On each side of the Velcro fastener 26 (or other fastener) are two to three inches of elastic or elasticized material 28, which stretch and contract for proper fit or to accommodate different sized wearers. In the crotch area, a pouch 30 is sewn as shown to hold and position a urinary pad 34 therein to absorb occasional or intermittent leakage of the bladder.
The pouch 30 is to be of a compatible or contrasting fabric or color approximating four inches wide by ten inches long to accommodate a standardized urinary pad. Elastic is to be sewn around the edges of the pouch 30 opening 32 so that when a urinary pad 34 is placed in the pouch 30, it is held in by tension giving the wearer a feeling of security that the urinary pad 34 will not be exposed or fallout.
Either the straight back or plunging waistband style is employed, depending upon the user's preferences.
The invention thus provides a reusable, decorative thong garment 10, with a pouch 30 to hold interchangeable urinary pads 34 and structured to provide the wearer with a feeling of security that the pad will not be exposed or fall out.
The above description and specification should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. The claims themselves recite those features deemed essential to the invention.
This application is a continuation-in-part of the provisional patent application entitled “Thong Style Urinary Pad Garment” filed Sep. 11, 2006 and assigned Ser. No. 60/843,553.
