DISPOSABLE DIAPER

A disposable diaper has an absorbent body, an outer covering sheet and two end holding sheets, and both end portions of the absorbent body are fixed between the end holding sheets and the outer covering sheet. Since a turndown portion of an upper end portion of the end holding sheet is bonded on an upper end portion of a first covering sheet, a waist covering portion has structure where the first covering sheet is laminated on the two-layered end holding sheet. Therefore, a thickness of the outer covering sheet can be reduced, while maintaining strength of the waist covering portion by appropriately selecting material of the end holding sheet, thereby to easily improve softness of the disposable diaper. Since an upper end of a second covering sheet is positioned below the turndown portion, softness and breathability in an area between the turndown portion and the second covering sheet is increased. 16-.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/611,887, filed on Mar. 16, 2012, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.The field of the invention generally relates to easily removable clothing that is intended for individuals with limited mobility. The field of the invention further relates to easily and safely removable clothing for individuals that may be recovering from surgery or suffer from a disability which limits their physical mobility.Often, individuals with limited mobility require assistance with putting on, and taking off, clothing. The issue of movement can be exacerbated when afflicted individuals live alone with no one to aid them in daily morning dressing or rearrangement of their clothing after a trip to the bathroom or shower. For example, an individual may have difficulties using their lower extremities in order to get undergarments or outer garments up the leg openings and over or under the buttock area into a comfortable proper position. The inability to accomplish this seemingly simple, but very necessary task may be the result of temporary, or permanent, loss of flexibility to the lower extremities.A wide variety of devices have been developed to assist physically challenged individuals in their daily lives. Some devices are used ...

Omnistring - omnisexual thong

“The Omnistring” is, and will be, one of the key elemental design foundations for the future and evolution of lingerie and undergarment manufacturing. It is not so much defined by sexual characteristics, rather it allows the one who wears it to define it's own characteristics by application of the dual overlapped elastic under-band supports, serving as support and adornment of the pubic area and buttocks. Not ApplicableNot ApplicableNot Applicable“The Omnistring” pertains to the intimate apparel or lingerie industry in that this design is strikingly scant of coverage yet yields erotic allure, however by US Patent Classification standards “The Omnistring” would most likely fall under Class 2 Apparel/113 Undergarments subsection “unisex”.As the spectrum of sexual taste and expression continues to evolve both stylistically and physically (in regards to sexual augmentation and trans-gendering through various surgical procedure), so too will the fashions by which these evolutions are expressed.Over recent years intimate wear and high-end lingerie especially has evolved to become more omnisexual by minimizing material and becoming more “strappy”. The dual overlapped elastic bands along the underside is the innovation that opens the gate for a truly uni- or omni-sexual undergarment.In relation to US 200810127399A1—“Unisex Underwear” is similar in design and concept, (that being a thong-style undergarment that can be worn by persons of either sex) yet yields far less functionality than “The Omnistring” in that 2008/0127399A1 is composed of a single elastic band attached at both mid-points of the waistband, which in order to function must be detached from either front or back. “The Omnistring” comprises a waistband, and sewn together at the mid-front and mid-back are dual overlapped elastic bands running along the underside that serve as support which allow for more versatility and remain intact throughout use and wear.“The Omnistring” does not require the detachment of ...
