Abstract An adult undegarment fabricated from a cloth material formed into front and back panels connected by a narrow central panel forming a crotch portion. The front and back panels are provided with tie cords for facilitating the attachment of the garment to the waist of a patient. The crotch portion of the garment is so sized as to provide on opposite sides thereof, leg portions to receive the legs of the patient when the panels are attached to the patient. The crotch portion includes tie cords for securing the lower portion of the garment around the patient's legs. The garment is adapted to have various cloth and water impervious panels attached thereto such that the garment may be modified for a wide variety of uses.
