Abstract
A shield to be worn between the legs of a user. The shield, on its body side has a non absorbent, liquid impermeable, flexible midspan and an outside perimeter of absorbent material. In use, liquid makes contact with the shield on the flexible midspan and is moved quickly away until the liquid contacts the absorbent perimeter where it is rapidly taken up and retained. The shield is characterized by its capability to rapidly take up and contain liquids, its capability to fit comfortably and remain in place reliably, and its discreetness when carrying and wearing.
