Abstract: The present invention is an enhanced undergarment that enables easier dressing and undressing by disabled individuals by allowing the user to don the garment from the buttock area. The garment is configured with a unique back panel at the buttock area that it is divided into two separate panels, a right panel and a left panel. The left and right panels of the undergarment are not seamed but remain open; this opening is from the top of the elastic band to the crotch. Seams are placed to attach the sides of the two separates panels to the front panel, joining the right and left sides. The undergarments are configured with standard leg openings. A seam is also at the crotch. Before the seam is placed at the crotch area, the bottoms of the back panels are designed to overlap. The overlap facilitates better closure and provides space for extra fasteners if needed. The left and right panels include male and female fasteners which allow the user to manually open and close the back panels.

Abstract: A male undergarment providing a comfort barrier between the groin and outerwear with enhancements for promoting male fertility. By use of less restrictive (and confining) clothing adjuncts to the conventional undergarment, an environment for genitalia, primarily the testes, is acquired that will reduce the level of body heat accumulating in the zone or regions proximate those organs. Elements are used that will reduce the normally existing temperatures: a dam, consisting minimally of a fabric partition, for compartmentally segregating genitalia from the loins; thermally isolation, by use of suitable insulative/reflective fabrics, on the dam and between the segregated organs and groin regions; and, a vented, independent, scrotal compartment. Contrary to the modern norm, the genitalia are allowed to assume a more natural, pendulous suspension, one more conducive to the vitality of spermatozoa.
