Abstract: Customizable shapewear to be worn by a wearer comprises a body constructed of a fabric having a first texture. The body has an interior side that faces the wearer, and an exterior side that faces away from the wearer. The customizable shapewear further comprises a plurality of distinct applications on the interior side of the body and/or on the exterior side and having a second texture that differs from the first texture.

Abstract: Garments include a fluid retention assembly coupled to an interior side of a garment base, with said coupling not being present on an exterior side of the garment base. The fluid retention assembly includes two fluid-retention zones of different absorbencies. One or more fluid retention assemblies may be located anywhere on the garment, without being limited to positioning near edges or apertures. A moisture-impermeable layer of the fluid retention assembly separates the interior side of the garment base from the fluid retention zones, such that the moisture-impermeable layer is configured to restrict and/or at least substantially prevent fluid from exiting the fluid retention assembly to the exterior side of the garment base.

Abstract: Lower body garments include a main body having an integral interior lining that is only secured to the main body of the garment around a peripheral lining perimeter of the interior lining. The interior lining may secure a fluid retention gusset such that the outline of the gusset is not visible on outside of garment. A gusset perimeter of the fluid retention gusset may be secured to the interior lining, but not to the main body of the garment, which may result in a leakproof lower body garment that is not immediately recognizable as having such a function when the lower body garment is worn. The interior lining may not extend around the entire right and left leg portions of the main body, such that right and left lateral leg regions may be positioned to separate anterior and posterior portions of the interior lining from each other.

Abstract: Garments and associated methods are disclosed. In examples, a garment includes an absorbent assembly bonded to a body portion. In examples, the absorbent assembly includes an absorbent layer and overlies at least a central region of the body portion. In examples, the absorbent assembly is at least partially bonded to the body portion with elastic bonding film. In examples, the garment is configured to be washed and re-worn numerous times. In examples, a method of manufacturing a garment includes arranging an absorbent assembly over at least the central region of the body portion and bonding the absorbent assembly to the body portion with strips of elastic bonding film and without stitching. In examples, a moisture-absorbent garment includes a body layer supporting an absorbent assembly within a central region and strips of elastic bonding film that bond at least a portion of the absorbent assembly to the body layer without stitching.

Abstract: Garments comprise one or more bonds formed within a joined region of the garment; a garment base comprising at least one interior base layer and at least one exterior base layer; and a moisture capture assembly joined to the garment base within at least the joined region. The moisture capture assembly comprises a moisture retention portion configured to absorb and retain moisture from the wearer and an anti-leak portion configured to restrict moisture from exiting the moisture retention portion.

Abstract: Reusable absorbent accessories are configured to be worn by a wearer, are configured to be washed and re-worn numerous times, and comprise adhesive bonds within a bonded region; a base; a moisture capture assembly bonded to the base within the bonded region and comprising a moisture retention portion configured to absorb and retain moisture from the wearer, and an anti-leak portion configured to restrict moisture from exiting the moisture retention portion and positioned toward the assembly exterior side of the moisture capture assembly relative to the moisture retention portion.

Abstract: Garments comprise a plurality of adhesive bonds within a bonded region of the garment; a garment base that defines a garment lateral edge; and a moisture capture assembly bonded to the garment base within the bonded region. The moisture capture assembly comprises a moisture retention portion configured to absorb and retain moisture; and an anti-leak portion configured to restrict moisture from exiting the moisture retention portion. The bonded region extends fully around a perimeter of the moisture capture assembly, and the moisture capture assembly and the bonded region do not extend to the garment lateral edge.

Abstract: Provided herein is a reversible upper-body support garment comprising a light-toned layer; a dark-toned layer; the layers overlying each other and dimensioned to together be stretched in a supporting fit around the upper body of a wearer with either the light-toned layer or the dark-toned layer facing outwards from the wearer; and at least one breast pad between the light-toned layer and the dark-toned layer, the at least one breast pad having a dark-toned surface that is adjacent to the light-toned layer thereby to face outwards from behind the light-toned layer when the light-toned layer is facing outwards from the wearer. In embodiments, the upper-body support garment is a bra.

Abstract: An undergarment includes a body portion having an upper edge defining a waistband, two leg openings and a crotch region between the leg openings; an absorbent pad on the inside of the body portion within at least the crotch region, the absorbent pad having an inner region and a peripheral region; and elastic bonding film bonded to each of the two leg openings and overlying respective portions of the peripheral region of the absorbent pad thereby to seamlessly bond the absorbent pad with the body portion.

Abstract: An undergarment includes a body portion having an upper edge defining a waistband, two leg openings and a crotch region between the leg openings; an absorbent pad on the inside of the body portion within at least the crotch region, the absorbent pad having an inner region and a peripheral region, wherein the thickness of the absorbent pad in the peripheral region is less than the thickness of the absorbent pad in the inner region; and elastic bonding film lining each of the two leg openings while overlying respective portions of the peripheral region of the absorbent pad thereby to bond the absorbent pad and the body portion. A method of manufacturing an undergarment is provided.
