Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to undergarments to be worn by a female, including panties, thongs, and pantyhose. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Most women will experience a vaginal infection at least once in their lives. In the United States, women seek medical help for vaginal infections more than 10,000,000 times a year. For adult women, vaginal infections are the most common reason these women seek medical attention. These vaginal infections can be accompanied by a variety of symptoms, including: abdominal discharge, order, itching, burning, and pain or irritation with intercourse or urination. The three most common vaginal infections are bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis and trichomoniasis. If left untreated, bacterial vaginosis may cause complications. In pregnancy, bacterial vaginosis has been associated with premature birth and low-birth-weight infants. There may also be a risk of trinecologic complications. Bacterial vaginosis has been associated wi...

Problems solved by technology

If left untreated, bacterial vaginosis may cause complications.

There may also be a risk of trinecologic complications.

Women with bacterial vaginosis may have increased risk of developing pelvic inflammation disease, a complication that can require hospitalization.

Untreated bacterial vaginosis has also been associated with some increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases and infections following gynecologic surgery.

However, many women believe that white cotton panties are not as attractive, or comfortable, as synthetic “silky” style panties.

In contrast, overgarments tend to cling to cotton panties and do not look as attractive.

However, the cotton liners are covered with the synthetic “silky” fabric which has relatively much smaller openings between threads and therefore does not allow for sufficient air to pass through the fabric to dry out the crotch area of the wearer.

Although the Hancock embodiments certainly do provide ventilation, many women find such garments undesirable because the apertures would make their genital region visibly exposed.

However, no details are taught with respect to the relative size of the openings of the crotch portion.
