The disposable shirt and disposable crotch strip protect against lingering bacteria contamination for new customers when trying on clothes that were previously tried on by previous customers. If a customer declines to buy the garment and store personnel place it back on a shelf or rack for further fitting by other shoppers, this helps to prevent more possible contamination. The shirt and crotch strip are made with a disposable, non-woven, microbial-protective material that is also used for disposable medical gowns and garments. It can also be made with other types of antimicrobial material to provide diverse supply options at different cost ranges. The shirt is made in five varied sizes ranging from extra small, small, medium, large, and extra-large to easily fit all customer sizes. The shirt covers the upper torso, the shoulders, and the upper arms, including a person's underarm. A second strip of microbial protective material is also included, which customers can stretch from their abdomen downward, running it in between their legs and crotch area and then extending it upwards to the lower back for use when trying on undergarments, pants, or shorts. That strip includes adhesive dots on each end that stick to the disposable shirt in the front and back to hold the strip in place while trying on undergarments, pants, or shorts. Both the shirt and the protective strip are low-cost designs meant for immediate disposal after each individual use.
