Embodiment Construction

[0015]As shown in FIGS. 1-5, a bikini bottom 10 embodying the invention is formed from an outer layer 12 of a fabric which is strong and flexible, so that it can securely fit the wearer's body. The exact shape, size and design of the outer layer are not shown in detail, such features being matters of design choice. Various suitable designs are well known to the person of ordinary skill in the field of this invention. A popular choice for the outer layer is a poly-spandex (“Lycra”) fabric.

[0016]The crotch portion 14 of the bikini bottom is shown in FIG. 2.

[0017]FIGS. 3 and 4 show the crotch portion alone, with the outermost layer foremost. In FIG. 3, spotting is visible, as may happen with prior bikinis. FIG. 4 shows a spot-free bottom, the result of the present invention.

A bikini bottom which prevents visible spotting from bodily fluids has a crotch portion made from at least three layers of material, including an outer layer, an inner lining layer, and an intermediate layer of waterproof material between the inner and outer layers.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This application relates to apparel, and more particularly to a bikini bottom designed to prevent spotting during a wearer's period.[0002]Prior inventors have proposed a number of solutions to the problem of menstrual blood and other bodily fluids seeping through fabric and being visible on the outside of a garment.[0003]Some of these solutions involve placing an absorbent material between the wearer's body and the outer fabric of the garment. See, for example, U.S. patent application publication 2010 / 0249736.[0004]Others place a fluid impervious barrier layer between the body and the outer garment fabric. Some, such as U.S. patent application publication US2008 / 0114327, provide both absorbency and a barrier layer.[0005]Most of the above inventions are implemented specifically for underpants. None is specifically for swimwear, specifically bikini bottoms. Bikini bottoms cannot safely use solutions designed for underpants, because they are smaller tha...
