Benefits of technology

The patent describes a panty design that reduces the likelihood of visible panty lines. It achieves this by using a no-show panty that incorporates features to prevent the panty from riding upward and rolling over at the edges. The panty is made up of a front panel, a rear panel, and a gusset panel. The front panel is made of a first material, the rear panel is made of a second material, and the gusset panel is made of a third material. The front panel and rear panel are connected at two vertical seams, and the gusset panel is connected to the front panel at a forward end. The vertical seams are positioned medial of a pair of anterior superior iliac spines of the wearer. The gusset panel may also have bar tacks to secure it in place. The technical effect of this design is to create a panty that reduces the likelihood of visible panty lines and is more comfortable to wear.

Problems solved by technology

Visible panty lines are not desired.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Panties having elastic-trimmed edges generally result in visible panty lines due to the increased bulk of material along the edges. While panties featuring free-cut edges (i.e., edges without elastic trimming) have been used to reduce the appearance of visible panty lines, such panties lack the elastic-trimmed edges that help to anchor and secure the panty in place. As such, the free-cut edge panties tend to shift, have edges that roll over, and generally become displaced during wearing. Accordingly, the panties described below have been constructed to reduce or eliminate one or more of these concerns.

[0019]FIG. 1 illustrates a panty 100 that is arranged and configured in accordance with certain features, aspects and advantages of the present invention. While described in the context of the panty 100, many of the features, aspects, and advantages discussed herein can find utility with respect to other garments and undergarments for men and children as well. As such, the term “...

Abstract

A panty construction features a rear panel formed of a dyable exposed LYCRA material. Side seams join the rear panel to a front panel that is formed of a non-exposed elastomer material. The side seams are positioned medial of the anterior superior iliac spine. Bar tack stitches are used at the top and at the bottom of the side seams as well as the forward lateral edges of a gusset. The gusset is positioned solely on the front panel.
