AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0015]The unique combination of all materials and processes we have chosen will provide the maximum benefits for all purposes described in this description and in our claims. We have chosen fabric combinations that will greatly reduce the amount of sand and debris that enter the garment and touch the skin by the openings at the waist, thigh / knee openings and through the fabric itself.

[0016]The garment is form fitting for extreme comfort, fitting like a second skin. The garment is aesthetically pleasing and the fabric is breathable. The garment will be made of a high-quality, tightly knit fabric to enhance the experience for a day at the beach, vacation, resort or for any water sport.

[0017]This garment will be used by the above for the purposes of: (a) helping to keep any type of debris including but not limited to sand, dirt, rocks, seaweed, shells, dust, mud, slime, saltwater, bugs, fish, etc., from entering into the garment, undergarment and / or short; (b) for helping to protect the wearer from, but not limited to, getting friction, rashes, irritation, chafing, blisters, burning, itching, etc.; (c) for helping to keep all of the items in section (a) above from irritating or annoying male and female's genitalia and / or buttocks as well as their thighs / knees / waist to keep the wearer comfortable; (d) for helping to keep the items from elements in (a) from entering male and female genitalia to reduce bacterial infections that can be caused by certain types of debris; (e) keeping babies comfortable from all of the elements in (a), (b), (c) and (d) above, as well as helping to keep these elements out of their diapers.

Problems solved by technology

While there are a number of protective swimwear articles that are available, most of them are not configured to meet multiple objectives.

For example, there are patents that have been granted and other products already on the market do not protect wearers from all types of debris mentioned in our claims above.

We have tested many different manufacturers' garments and they do not keep debris out of garment and away from the skin.

There are no patents approved for the purpose of keeping sand and all types of debris away from the wearer's skin and / or female and male genitalia to help prevent rashes, infections, chafing, burning, itching, etc.

Technology over the years has provided many improvements in design, durability and easy of use in swimwear, but still nothing protects infants through adults from having the annoying problem of sand and debris entering their swimsuits.

Sand and debris can cause many problems including skin irritation, infections, blisters, rashes, burning, discomfort, etc., for the wearer.
