     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0012]    With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 6  thereof, a new garment device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
         [0013]    As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 6 , the garment retention assembly  10  generally comprises a garment  12  that has a front end  14  and a back end  16 . The garment  12  is elongated between the front  14  and back  16  ends. The garment  12  is worn on a user&#39;s genital area  18  so the front end  14  of the garment  12  is positioned on a front side  20  of the user&#39;s waist  21  and the back end  16  of the garment  12  is positioned on a back side  22  of the user&#39;s waist  21 . The garment  12  may be a diaper of any conventional design. Moreover, the user  24  may be an infant or a toddler. 
         [0014]    A fastener  26  is provided. The fastener  26  has a first end  28  and a second end  30 . The fastener  26  is elongated between the first  28  and second  30  ends. Additionally, the fastener  26  is positioned proximate to and is coextensive with the back end  16  of the garment  12 . Each of the first  28  and second  30  ends of the fastener  26  extends beyond an associated one of a first lateral edge  32  and a second lateral edge  34  of the garment  12 . 
         [0015]    An adhesive layer  36  is coupled to a front surface  38  of the fastener  26 . The adhesive layer  36  completely covers the front surface  38  of the fastener  26 . The adhesive layer  36  engages an outside surface  40  of the garment  12  so the fastener  26  is retained on the garment  12 . Moreover, the fastener  26  may comprise Duct Tape of any conventional design. The fastener  26  is wrapped around the user&#39;s waist  21  after the garment  12  is positioned on the user  24 . Each of the first  28  and second  30  ends of the fastener  26  are overlapped on the back side  22  of the user&#39;s waist  21 . 
         [0016]    The fastener  26  has a perforation  32  extending between a top edge  35  and a bottom edge  37  of the fastener  26 . The perforation  32  is one of a pair of the perforations  38  each positioned proximate an associated one of the first  28  and second  30  ends of the fastener  26 . Each of the pair of perforations  39  is positioned proximate an associated one of the first  32  and second  34  lateral edges of the garment  12  after the fastener  26  is wrapped around the garment  12 . The fastener  26  is torn along each of the pair of perforations  39  after the garment  12  is worn by the user  24  so the garment  12  is removable from the user  24 . 
         [0017]    In use, a method  40  of retaining the garment  12  on the user  24  so the garment  12  is not easily removable by the user  24  includes a step  42  of providing the garment  12  and the fastener  26  that has the first  28  and second  38  ends and the pair of perforations  39 . The method  40  further includes a step  44  of positioning the garment  12  on the user  24 . Additionally, the method  40  includes a step  46  of wrapping the fastener  26  around the user&#39;s waist  21  so the first  28  and second  30  ends of the fastener  26  overlap on the back side  22  of the user&#39;s waist  21 . The user  24  cannot easily remove the garment  12 . Finally, the method  40  includes a step  48  of tearing the fastener  26  along each of the pair of perforations  39  so the garment  12  is removable from the user  24 . 
         [0018]    With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         [0019]    Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
