Protective Garment with Separate but Affixed layer

Abstract

A protective garment consisting of an exterior clothing garment not limited in style (pants, shorts, romper, knickers, overalls, etc.) with a separate but affixed inner barrier garment layer designed to protect a child's or adult's clothing and environment from an accidental urination or bowel movement. It aids in the training of a child or adult using a waterproof garment allowing the sensation of the child or adult wetting themselves to heighten awareness of the accident while preventing the wetness from penetrating the barrier layer and keeping the exterior of protective garment dry by trapping the excrement until removed. The function is designed to promote faster orientation to using the proper facilities when excreting bodily waste while protecting the clothing and environment of the user from said waste.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This non-provisional patent application claims priority to provisional patent U.S. 62 / 385,956 filed 10 Sep. 2016 pursuant to 35 USC § 119(e).BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to the field of potty-training, managing incontinence and the tools associated with those processes. This invention is an option created after using all options on the market for potty-training and those options being completely inept, costly and ill-affecting the environment.[0003]Many parents and caregivers struggle with potty-training and managing incontinence in children of all ages as well as in adults. The problems with options currently on the market include: non-fixed padding which can move around leaving clothing susceptible to excrement and waste; non-reusable material contributing to waste and environmental challenges; current “solutions” being cost prohibitive; the focus on absorbency and lack of behavior modification invoking the senses...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a protective garment designed to help people, especially children, become independent of training garments when facing challenges. This invention is unique, non-toxic, environmentally-friendly, reusable, cost-efficient, simple to use, sensory supported, highly effective, and can help early childhood development. It is a separate affixed protective inner layer designed to cover undergarments and protect against accidental bodily fluid excretions. This invention is a step forward in the training process as it helps people learn to use the bathroom faster by promoting the sensation of needing to empty the bladder or bowels. The protective garment is made of a sturdy textile and an impermeable inner layer to separate accidental bodily fluid excretions from the exterior garment and the environment. This garment is designed to aid in the training process by shortening the amount of time it normally takes to train the user.

Problems solved by technology

The problems with options currently on the market include: non-fixed padding which can move around leaving clothing susceptible to excrement and waste; non-reusable material contributing to waste and environmental challenges; current “solutions” being cost prohibitive; the focus on absorbency and lack of behavior modification invoking the senses when bladder and bowel movements are about to occur counter the training process by prohibiting the “pace of learning” during training.

The current tools used in potty training are largely ineffective to the actual training process and contribute to waste by being non-biodegradable.

These absorbent protective garments protect from wetness but also can impair the sensory experience.

Impairing the sensory experience needed to train can impede the orientation and expediency to go to the bathroom or potty.

Disposable protective garments must be purchased over and over again leading to very costly expenses in the training process.
