Abstract:
An undergarment including a main body along with an elongated tubular and an elasticized extension. The main body of the undergarment defines a first leg opening laterally spaced from a second leg opening and includes a crotch web positioned between the first and second leg openings. The body portion of the undergarment further includes a continuous annular elastic waistband. The tubular elasticized extension is joined to and extends from the waistband of the main body portion and terminates in a continuous free annular and elasticized edge. The free elasticized and annular edge of the tubular extension is spaced from the annular waistband of the main body by a distance ranging between about 5 inches to about 15 inches.
