US Patent 10888470 Absorbent reusable clothing and undergarments

Absorbent, launderable garments and undergarments for incontinent or other persons likely to discharge fluids from time to time are supplied in many styles and capacities. All include a shaped absorbent pouch assembly, having an inner conformable and permeable layer in contact with the skin and an absorbent cotton layer sealed under a gas-permeable yet waterproof and stretchable textile. The pouch is positioned by a set of elastic strips or sheet elastic fabric; each set being visually similar to a style of regular underwear. A preferred waterproofing treatment uses an emulsion of fluoroalkyl acrylate permeated into a knitted or woven textile. In higher capacity versions the entire garment is waterproofed.
