  • Disposable pant-like undergarment
    Publication number: 20050004549
    Abstract: A disposable pant-like undergarment is disclosed for absorbing human discharge. The pant-like undergarment includes stretchable front and back panels. The front panel has first and second elastic bands secured along its first and second ends. The back panel has third and fourth elastic bands secured along its first and second ends. An absorbent assembly is secured to the front and back panels and is capable of being folded to enable the front panel to overlap the back panel. A pair of seams joins the front panel to the back panel to form an undergarment having a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. The first and third elastic bands create a waist band located adjacent to the waist opening and the second and fourth elastic bands create a pair of leg bands located adjacent to the pair of leg openings. The fourth elastic band has a stretching force that is greater than that of the second elastic band.
