  • Patent number: 4610680
    Abstract: A disposable training panty comprises a panty member adapted to form an enclosed waist opening and enclosed leg openings from a panel having an inner layer of absorbant material and an outer layer of water impervious material. Preferably the openings are peripherally defined at least in part by elastic material. In an advantageous form of the invention, portions of the panty member can be separated from each other to open the periphery of waist opening of the panty member and the leg openings. In one form of the invention a strand is secured to the panty member along predetermined lines so that pulling of the strand tears the panty member between the leg openings and between the waist band and at least one leg opening. In another form of the invention, the panty member includes overlapping flaps which can be secured to each other by hook and pile fastening straps. Alternatively, the overlapping flaps or the strands can extend along the sides of the panty member between the waist band and each leg band.
