Abstract
The garment has a body portion with an internal pouch which is adapted to receive an absorbent pad. The pouch is formed of a liquid impervious panel situated adjacent to the body portion and a liquid penetrable panel secured along its sides to the body portion. The sides of the liquid impervious panel extend from the body portion toward the liquid penetrable panel, to which same are attached, so as to form a liquid retention barrier along the sides of the pouch. The body portion is formed of a knitted fabric including interlocked courses of a staple fiber yarn and of a bulked continuous filament yarn. The liquid impervious panel includes a knitted fabric coated with polyurethane. The liquid penetrable panel comprises a polyester yarn knitted into a fabric with a semi-cardigan stitch.
