Abstract: A form fitting disposable garment shield and an automated method for making the shield from a coil of laminated material. The shield is comprised of a pair of identical crescent shaped panels joined together by a seam which is adjacent to a concave border of the shield. The outer facing surfaces of the panels are moisture absorbing and the inward facing surfaces, which confront each other, are non-absorbent. On the inward facing non-absorbent surfaces of the panels are pieces of adhesive tape with peelable outer coverings for attaching the shield to a garment. The method for making the shield comprises the steps of uncoiling, blanking, forming, heat bonding and trimming portions of the laminated strip in a continuous automated manner.
